Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 15.04, uptodate
virtualbox install from the repo.
I cant start a VM and getting an error with the hint to run a command which
doesnt work:
"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. ....."
That doesnt work at all since we have systemd since 15.04 and its not present
in /etc/init.d/ anyway.
Turns out the issue is that vboxdrv module is not loaded.
"sudo modprobe vboxdrv" solves the issue.
to keep it working after reboot i needed to do:
sudo chmod 660 /dev/vboxdrv
sudo chgrp vboxusers /dev/vboxdrv
and add "vboxdrv" to the /etc/modules.
