When I tried to open Virtual box I had a notice that the new version is
available for download.
I tried the suggested URL but there was a conflict, so through Synaptics I
un-installed the old one and installed the new one.
I received this notice:
"VirtualBox will not start until this problem is fixed. Please consult
/var/log/vbox-install.log to find out why the kernel module does not
compile. Most probably the kernel sources were not found. Install them (the
package name is probably linux-headers-<version> whereby <version> can be
determined by 'uname -r') and execute
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
as root."
