So I worked around the bug the old fashioned way. Purged dkms completely from my system, then removed the folder /var/lib/dkms then reinstalled my videocard and wireless network adapter drivers Then reconfigured virutalbox
1640 sudo aptitude purge dkms 1641 cd ~ 1642 sudo rm -r /var/lib/dkms 1643 sudo aptitud install dkms 1644 sudo aptitude install dkms 1645 dkms status 1646 sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-3.2 1647 dkms status bcmwl, 5.60.48.36+bdcom, 2.6.32-24-generic, x86_64: installed fglrx, 8.723.1, 2.6.32-24-generic, x86_64: installed vboxdrv, 3.2.6, 2.6.32-24-generic, x86_64: installed vboxnetadp, 3.2.6, 2.6.32-24-generic, x86_64: installed vboxnetflt, 3.2.6, 2.6.32-24-generic, x86_64: installed Question remains. Why does dkms get stuck, holding on to old entries, without cleaning them up? -- dkms is not processing vboxdrv must do manually https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
