Public bug reported: hello,
I have a problem with my virtualbox : on the kernels 4.4.0-142-generic (x86_64) and above, I cannot install the kernel modules the /sbin/vboxconfig command gives : jacques@kub:~$ sudo /sbin/vboxconfig Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/vboxdrv ... /etc/rc0.d/K80vboxdrv -> ../init.d/vboxdrv /etc/rc1.d/K80vboxdrv -> ../init.d/vboxdrv /etc/rc6.d/K80vboxdrv -> ../init.d/vboxdrv /etc/rc2.d/S20vboxdrv -> ../init.d/vboxdrv /etc/rc3.d/S20vboxdrv -> ../init.d/vboxdrv /etc/rc4.d/S20vboxdrv -> ../init.d/vboxdrv /etc/rc5.d/S20vboxdrv -> ../init.d/vboxdrv Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/vboxballoonctrl-service ... /etc/rc0.d/K65vboxballoonctrl-service -> ../init.d/vboxballoonctrl-service /etc/rc1.d/K65vboxballoonctrl-service -> ../init.d/vboxballoonctrl-service /etc/rc6.d/K65vboxballoonctrl-service -> ../init.d/vboxballoonctrl-service /etc/rc2.d/S35vboxballoonctrl-service -> ../init.d/vboxballoonctrl-service /etc/rc3.d/S35vboxballoonctrl-service -> ../init.d/vboxballoonctrl-service /etc/rc4.d/S35vboxballoonctrl-service -> ../init.d/vboxballoonctrl-service /etc/rc5.d/S35vboxballoonctrl-service -> ../init.d/vboxballoonctrl-service Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/vboxautostart-service ... /etc/rc0.d/K65vboxautostart-service -> ../init.d/vboxautostart-service /etc/rc1.d/K65vboxautostart-service -> ../init.d/vboxautostart-service /etc/rc6.d/K65vboxautostart-service -> ../init.d/vboxautostart-service /etc/rc2.d/S35vboxautostart-service -> ../init.d/vboxautostart-service /etc/rc3.d/S35vboxautostart-service -> ../init.d/vboxautostart-service /etc/rc4.d/S35vboxautostart-service -> ../init.d/vboxautostart-service /etc/rc5.d/S35vboxautostart-service -> ../init.d/vboxautostart-service Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/vboxweb-service ... /etc/rc0.d/K65vboxweb-service -> ../init.d/vboxweb-service /etc/rc1.d/K65vboxweb-service -> ../init.d/vboxweb-service /etc/rc6.d/K65vboxweb-service -> ../init.d/vboxweb-service /etc/rc2.d/S35vboxweb-service -> ../init.d/vboxweb-service /etc/rc3.d/S35vboxweb-service -> ../init.d/vboxweb-service /etc/rc4.d/S35vboxweb-service -> ../init.d/vboxweb-service /etc/rc5.d/S35vboxweb-service -> ../init.d/vboxweb-service vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services. vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services. vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules. egrep: Échec du pairage de ) ou de \) vboxdrv.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vbox-setup.log to find out what went wrong.
