I seem to be having a problem in getting virtual machines to work. I have actually never ran virtual box at home so maybe I am missing something obvious. I am continuously getting errors when trying to start a virtual box stating the kernel driver was not found and to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root. I have tried this and I get an error that states

but I get an error that it cannot find any package by regex '.....' You get the gist.
What am I missing here? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

3.5.0-27-generic
