Hello,
I have recently upgraded from 13.04, where everything worked fine, to 13.10, where I cannot get VirtualBox to work any more.
I did some googling but could not find a similar error (all involved explicit compilation issue against bad headers for example, but there seems to be nothing of the like in my situation?).
When trying to setup VirtualBox, I get the following:
-> % sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules ...done.
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules ...done.
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMSError! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.11.0-15-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.6/build/make.log for more information.
...failed!
(Failed, trying without DKMS)
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules ...failed!
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
Here are the logs:
vbox-install.log: http://pastebin.com/6G2awxR5
make.log: http://pastebin.com/BTXhMGgQ
Looking at neither of the mentioned logs revealed nothing useful to me. It seems that the .ko files are not getting generated which prevents the whole operation.
I have been trying both the "virtualbox" package of the ubuntu saucy repository:
-> % apt-cache policy virtualbox
virtualbox:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 4.2.16-dfsg-3
Version table:
4.2.16-dfsg-3 0
500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/multiverse amd64 Packages
And the "virtualbox-4.3" package of the specific virtualbox repository:
-> % apt-cache policy virtualbox-4.3
virtualbox-4.3:
Installed: 4.3.6-91406~Ubuntu~raring
Candidate: 4.3.6-91406~Ubuntu~raring
Version table:
*** 4.3.6-91406~Ubuntu~raring 0
500 http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/ saucy/contrib amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
...but both failed with the same errors.
I am currently running kernel 3.11.0-15:
-> % uname -a
Linux x-rmasson 3.11.0-15-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 30 17:22:01 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Can I please get some help as to how solve this? How would you go about investigating this build issue? I have tried making my way in the Makefiles but it got complicated quite quickly and I'm sure I missed something obvious.
Thanks a lot!
