Warning vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded

Question

Well I run this command

aptitude purge ~o

To delete all the Obsoletes files that aptitude show me big mistake I guess after that I update the system everything works fine but when I restart the system and I want to load the virtual machine I got this error

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (3.14-kali1-amd64) or it failed to
         load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

           sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

The program still running but I can't load the virtual machine so I run that command to and the out put was.

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules ...done.
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules ...failed!
  (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

I am going to post just one part of the file because vbox-install.log have to many lines.

Testing system setup...
System setup appears correct.

Installing VirtualBox to /opt/VirtualBox

Output from the module build process (the Linux kernel build system) follows:

thank you very much for any help or comments.

Answer 1

for Ubuntu 15.10 and virtualbox 5.+ use:

sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

thx: http://www.webupd8.org/2015/10/workaround-for-sbinvboxconfig-not.html

Answer 2

I met the problem:

VBoxManage --version

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

       sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

     You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

5.0.24_RPMFusionr108355

After I do

sudo modprobe vboxdrv

Then it works now.

Answer 3

On Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules-arch

and then

sudo modprobe vboxdrv

Answer 4

For me, I did an update to the system and run again sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup after that.
