I'm completely new to this. I uninstalled and reinstalled virtualbox to the new latest version (4.3.6) available on virtualbox.org. The installation went fine but the moment I try and run my machines it comes up with the error about not having the kernel driver. If I run the command sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup in the terminal I get this in the log:
DKMS: add completed. Failed to install using DKMS, attempting to install without Makefile:183: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR= and run Make again.
Stop. I have also run in the terminal
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
the error I get is:
Package linux-headers-3.8.0-33-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'linux-headers-3.8.0-33-generic' has no installation candidate
I have looked on all the forums I could none provide a solution for me, hence my positing here. Other information: Ubuntu 13.10 (upgraded from 13.04) 64 bit
peter@peter-desktop:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-headers linux-headers-3.11.0-13 install linux-headers-3.11.0-13-generic install linux-headers-3.11.0-14 install linux-headers-3.11.0-14-generic install linux-headers-generic install
If anyone needs any other information I will be glad to assist.
