[xubuntu] "No suitable module for running kernel found" error installing VirtualBox

$

Hello, I'm trying to install VirtualBox 4.3.10 (the default version in the repositories) on an up to date Xubuntu 14.04, but I receive this error message in the terminal:

Code:

"No suitable module for running kernel found"
When I open VirtualBox and try to run a virtual machine, it gives me this error:

Code:

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'


as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

It seems vboxdrv wasn't created during virtualbox-dkms installation (due to the error "No suitable module for running kernel found"):

Code:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found

As far as I've read other topics, this error is related to Virtualbox driver not being created. Some solutions I've found tell to install linux-headers and build-essential, but they are already installed here. This is the list of related packages that might be needed that I already have installed:

  • linux-image-3.19.0-26-generic
  • linux-image-extra-3.19.0-26-generic
  • linux-headers-3.19.0-26
  • linux-headers-3.19.0-26-generic
  • module-assistant
  • virtualbox-dkms
  • dkms
  • build-essentia




I'm using Linux 3.19.0-26-generic:

Code:

$ uname -r
3.19.0-26-generic

Could someone help me, please?
