Kali linux 2016 cannot open virtualbox problem solved, kalivirtualbox
After installing virtualbox in Kali Linux, the following error message is displayed: kernel driver not installed (rc = 1908). According to the prompt, it is probably caused by the lack of kernel modules, because VirtualBox runs in the DKMS kernel by default, the system must support DKMS. Therefore, we need to download linux-headers first. The solution is as follows:
1. Enter the command uname-r to view your kernel information.
2. Download linux-kbuild, link: (http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux-tools/) specific version see your own kernel information;
3. install linux-kbuild;
Dkpg-I linux-kbuild-4.3_4.3.1-2kali1_amd64.deb
(This is my kernel version, subject to your own version)
4. Download the linux-header-common and the linux-header corresponding to the host version. Link (http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux/), for specific version see your own kernel information
5. First install linux-header-common
Dkpg-I linux-headers-4.3.0-kali1-common_4.3.3-5kali4_amd64.deb (this is my kernel version, on your own)
6. Finally install linux-header
Dkpg-I linux-headers-4.3.0-kali1-amd64_4.3.3-5kali4_amd64.deb (this is my kernel version, on your own)
7. After the preceding steps are completed, enter the command dkms install virtualbox/5.0.24 (the number following is my virtualbox version, which is subject to your own version) so that virtualbox can be run in the DKMS kernel.
8. Enter The modprobe vboxdrv command, load the module to the kernel and run it. Then, try to open virtualbox and solve the problem.
