Re: Can,t start VirtualBox on F19

[Owen Orakwue <orakwueo@xxxxxxx>]

Here is the complete error message :

1)

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.

2)

[root@localhost init.d]# ./vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS[ OK ]
Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [FAILED]
(modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why)
[root@localhost init.d]#

3)

When I ran 'dmesg', this is what I saw that is related to virtualbox :

[ 169.857137] warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

And what's the complete error ?
Looks like you don't have the kernel-headers / devel packeges so the
module isn't being properly compiled.... we need the complete log to
confirm it.
