Thanks for the response.

I had this problem too. Being lazy, I just installed the .deb from Oracle's site, which works fine.

I tried that but still get:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

Running this as root makes no difference.

If I run dkms I get :

bob@Comp-NC:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms

/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: virtualbox-dkms is broken or not fully installed

but dkms is installed and is the latest version :-( I also re-installed the matching extensions package.
