vboxclient the virtualbox kernel service is not running

[NeverMindMe]

host is the physical machine, where VirtualBox is installed.
guest is the virtual machine, which you run inside of VirtualBox (so no, not a second machine).

ok thanks pal, i'll go ahead and try this.

This is the solution that worked for me:

I just purged virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-dkms and that solved the pop-up message.
Do this only if you're running mint natively i.e., not in a virtual box.

The command to do this is -

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove virtualbox-guest-*

It should remove the 3 packages responsible for this problem. Don't forget to reboot.

Worked for me - many thanks
