Can't open virtualbox

Post by iamphil »

Installed v4.3 on my mint 17 Cinnamon machine with DKMS package added. Created a disk for it. When I go to open it to load OS (Win7) I get this error.

Code: Select all

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.
When I try to run the command in terminal as root I get this.

Re: Can't open virtualbox

I think most of us are using VirtualBox 5.something-or-other. I just checked and I have 5.0.26, and it works well. Look for a newer version than 4.3 on the Oracle VirtualBox site.

Re: Can't open virtualbox

Post by Fred Barclay »

I agree with jimallyn. :) Try and get a newer version from the VirtualBox website. If you need help I've done this a bit myself (I use the Oracle repo so I've got the latest vbox) so I should be able to walk you through installation.

I had trouble with dkms too, and I suspect it was problematic for a lot of people. One of the more recent VBox releases (I believe it was 5.1) did away with dkms altogether.

Thank you. That got it up and running. But I did have to drop back to XP Pro since my Win7 cd didn't or wouldn't load.

Re: Can't open virtualbox "Solved"

Post by mark-L775 »

I am new to the forum and have a very basic knowledge of linux. I am running linux mint 18 with a fresh install on a 64bit system. I am having the same problem of not being able to open virtualbox. I have installed it from all sources, the Oracle website, the terminal and from the package manager and it never shows in the menu so that I can open it. When I check the terminal for status of the installation it shows that it is in the system but it does not open with a command or show up in the menu. And when I enter the command to remove it, it tells me virtualbox is not installed. The output is posted below. This particular install was done with the package downloaded from Oracle's site, vs 5.1.

Re: Can't open virtualbox

Post by Fred Barclay »

Hi mark. I see at least part of your problem - some of the VBox packages are partly installed and conflicting with other packages.

Let's start fresh and remove all traces of virtualbox, shall we?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove virtualbox-*
sudo dpkg -P virtualbox-*
Also, can I take a peek at your system and see how it's set up? Please run the following in terminal and post the output here in code tags:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz
inxi -r
Cheers!

Re: Can't open virtualbox

Post by Fred Barclay »

No worries mate. That all looks good. One final thing to do is to make sure there is no system-wide residual configuration.
Run sudo dpkg -P virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-X11

Then please run this so I can see which versions of VBox (and its GUI frontends) are available to you:

Code: Select all

apt policy virtualbox
apt policy virtualbox-qt
Cheers, and stay safe!

Fred, I was finally able to get the program installed and visible. Thank you very much for you help. Since I have upgraded to Mint 18 I am experiencing several quirks in my system I did not have with 17.3. I am sure I will be back on the forum if I can't figure out how to get rid of them. Thanks again for your work.
Also, how do I change the status of this post to "solved"?

I thought I had this problem too, even though I had VB up and running before, it turns out that it was opening on another workspace. haha. At least no fix needed.
