Kali Linux VirtualBox rc=1908 Error resolution

Kali Linux virtualboxrc=1908 error Resolution:

when I try to start VirtualBox prompt:

Kerneldriver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either no loaded or there is a permission problem with/dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module byexecuting
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv Setup '
As Root. If it isavailable in your distribution, you should install the DKMS Packagefirst. This is keeps track of Linux kernel changes andrecompiles the Vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

but run /etc/init.d/vboxdrvsetup time didn't show up vboxdrv This module, the reason is dkms is not installed.

apt-getinstall dkms # installation dkms

lsmod| grep-i VBox # The output should not be the same as mine, because I am the solution error before executing this command, but can # Find module on it.

Vboxpci 23077 0

VBOXNETADP 25443 0

Vboxnetflt 27420 0

Vboxdrv 344380 4 Vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt,vboxpci

Execute again /etc/init.d/vboxdrvsetup If the following error occurs, it is because linux-headers is not installed.

(Look at/var/log/vbox-install.log to findout, what went wrong)

Install the kernel header file by executing the following command:

Uname-r # View kernel version

apt-getinstall linux-headers-' uname-r ' # the symbol here is not a single quote, but a keyboard The symbol above the TAB key.

Execute again /etc/init.d/vboxdrvsetup still appears the following prompt:

Stoppingvirtualbox kernel modules ... done.

Uninstallingold VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules ... done.

later found linux-headers installed a number of, and no effect, so re-uninstall all linux-headers, and then reinstall the corresponding linux-headers kernel header file.

Apt-getpurge linux-headers*

apt-getinstall linux-headers-' uname-r ' # here is not a single quote, is The symbol above the TAB key.

after the execution of the /etc/init.d/vboxdrvsetup

/etc/init.d/vboxdrvsetup # No error message, compiled successfully module, and then you can open # It's VirtualBox.

Hope to help everyone.

PS: vmwareworkstation boot prompt is also required to install linux-headers the corresponding version of the kernel header file, you can solve the startup problem.
