Virtual box i can't run virtual machine :/

Hi

When today run virtual machine show Message :

VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (rc=-1908)

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

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root. Users of Ubuntu or Fedora should install the DKMS package at first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

When run on root /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup show     

No such file or directory

How to fix ?

Arch has init scripts in /etc/rc.d, so you should run /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv start.
If you haven't compiled the module yet, you should do it by running vbox_build_module.

How   running vbox_build_module.
Run vbox_build_module in console

bash-3.2# vbox_build_module
bash: vbox_build_module: command not found

I did encounter something similar yesterday. I seems you need a later version of VirtualBox to be able to run it with latest kernel. See Wiki and possibly enable the French repository to install the latest Virtual_bin (it is at least a convenient option). Reload needed modules like vboxdrv and possibly vboxnetflt if you want a bridge function over the network.

No need to make a backup. The new version though will prompt you to accept it to adopt you previous settings to the new configuration method. Just accept "OK" and everything will be as it was before.

Re: Virtual box i can't run virtual machine :/

If you are just upgraded VirtualBox, it will build the new kernel module as part of the upgrade process. When the kernel updated to 2.6.29 a couple of days later, you have to run 'vbox_build_module' again, and then 'modprobe vboxdrv'. We don't have the rc.d script for doing that. You have to remember to do it each time the kernel changes to a new version.

Good luck!

Re: Virtual box i can't run virtual machine :/

I have faced the same after recent kernel upgrade.
Just run package VirtualBox[...].run from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9753.

./VirtualBox-2.2.0-45846-Linux_x86.run

And injected module vboxdrv:

modprobe vboxrdrv

I was worry that it could be bigger issue.
cool
