Hello,
Brand new to this forum and first install (other than on Win7 in VirtualBox) of Linux. Not sure if I’m posting this in the correct place…(I’m sure someone will correct me).
Trying to install VirtualBox on 16.04 and getting this error:
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
‘/sbin/vboxconfig’
as root.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.
I run vboxconfig as root and get this:
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use ‘dmesg’ to find out why.
There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root.
Per dmesg:: with error -2
[ 2.001638] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: failed to load fecs_inst
Any suggestions?
When I installed Mate I disabled Secure boot. Should I have done that? Would that make a difference?
Thanks,
Subrag
