Can't run virtual box - jairlebentz - 22nd December 2017
Hi guys,
I have run an update and after that, I am not able to run Virtual Box anymore.
When I try to open a virtual maschine I get this:
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please install virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing
'modprobe vboxdrv'
linux-headers it's installed and it's the same kernel version 4.4.0-104
I have tried:
sudo systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service
and get this:
Job for systemd-modules-load.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
and this one:
sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules

then I run:

that is what I found in internet, but I am lost. Don't know what to do next.
I hope there are a solution for that,
If I make a new virtual drive and erase the old one, will I have the same problem?
Thanks a lot

Hmm... try reinstalling the virtualbox-dkms package which should rebuild the kernel part necessary for virtualbox.
