error virtualbox - TMG1961 - 04-19-2015
When i start virtualbox and startup the virtualmachine i get an error.
Code:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
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.
If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first.
This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.Added some terminal outputs:

I cant find '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup its not in the folder

Just to add to Jerry's comment,
1. Did you install Guest Additions.?
2. I did once have, I think the same error?, for some reason permissions had not been set in user manager..

I removed virtual box and downloaded version 4.3.26 and the extension pack. Unfortunately i cant install windows 7 64 bit..doesnt give me the option
So have to check how to fix that or have a search on how to dual boot windows 7 and linux lite 2.4
No worries, not going back to windows
I just want to see if i can fix my bricked phone in windows...tried using wine but not working.

Hi,
If you "google" "Virtualbox unable to install windows 7 64bit guest"
Seems like there are lots of threads on this topic, covering BIOS settings for VT, Is Host/Guest 32/64Bit, PAE etc...

Things work better if you enable virtualisation in Bios..now hope that i can get my phone back to life. Am lucky that it isnt my main phone..still got a LG G2 running.
