Re: Installing VirtualBox on Mint 17 KDE failed
In the information that apt gave when you installed was a section that looked like: Suggested packages: libvncserver0-dbg virtualbox-guest-additions-iso vde2 Recommended packages: virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-source virtualbox-qt For Virtualbox to work you have to have the kernel modules provided by the package virtualbox-dkms for it to work. Why that's not a dependency I can't tell you. I would also recommend that you install virtualbox-qt and virtualbox-guest-additions-iso to get a complete install of virtualbox. I know that Ubunutu has turned on APT's system to automatically install recommended packages. Mint must have turned that off. The downside is obvious, you get broken or partially functional software, the upside is that when you install stuff it can be smaller because it doesn't drag in a whole bunch of other stuff automatically. I believe that Ubuntu's setting has greatly helped promote the myth that KDE programs are huge and bloated because when the Unity folks install a KDE program is also brings in various other programs that aren't essential to it's core functionality but then again, the programs are feature rich when they do get on your system. For Ubuntu people that don't want the bloat you can add the --no-install-recommends to your apt-get command to tell it to just install the program you are requesting and any of it listed dependencies, but nothing else.

Try getting kernel headers and then try installing again.
