[Bug 972693] Re: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command
This bug appears to have been fixed in trusty. As I originally said, the fix is to make sure virtualbox-dkms is installed; the extra command which I did not give was to run "modprobe vboxdrv" (though running "/etc/init.d/virtualbox start" should also work). (Running /etc/init.d/virtualbox does not fix the problem, as it does not cause the modules to be built.) ** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972693 Title: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/972693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The command /etc/init.d/vboxdrv is in fact missing; however the command /etc/init.d/virtualbox is present and if run as suggested does make VirtualBox run correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972693 Title: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/972693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The file /etc/init.d/vboxdrv is not missing: it does not exist in Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=%2Fetc%2Finit.d%2Fvboxdrv&mode=filename&suite=quantal&arch=any The point is simply that the command is wrong. I'm not sure how I can make this any clearer. There is no problem with my system. There is no problem building the module. There is simply an error message whose text is incorrect, and which needs to be corrected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972693 Title: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/972693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 972693] Re: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command
The original report by you does not give any information about why /etc/init.d/vboxdrv is missing. That might give a good clue about the cause of this error.

[Bug 972693] Re: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command
I don't have the original build log (you can see I filed the bug seven months ago). But in any case, the build was successful. I'm not sure how much clearer I can be about this: there was no problem building the modules. The problem was with the command suggested by the system to build the modules: that command referred to a script which does not exist. I've just re-read my original bug report and I think it is quite clear about what is wrong. Please can you re-read it and tell me if there's anything that is still not clear? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972693 Title: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/972693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 972693] Re: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command
Is it possible for you to post the original build log? The install process should have built the kernel module and you should not have seen this error. If the install process did not succeed, the module will be missing and can cause such error. It would be helpful if you could try and reproduce this error.

[Bug 972693] Re: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command
This issue is not fixed by installing linux-headers-lowlatency. Indeed, I already had it installed. I seem to have been unclear in my original report: I have no problem actually building the modules. The problem is that the command given to build the modules does not work. Instead, I used a different command (as I said in my original report). The bug is that the user is told to use a command which does not work, and the fix is to change the message to tell the user the correct command (whatever that is). ** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972693 Title: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/972693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Is this issue fixed by installing "linux-headers-lowlatency"? If not, please reopen this bug.

[Bug 972693] Re: Error message for missing kernel modules gives wrong command
When using a lowlatency kernel, you have to install the package : linux- headers-lowlatency i'm not an expert but it seems that the virtualbox dkms module needs kernel headers restart virtualbox with the command : /etc/init.d/virtualbox restart and start your VM.
