Hello.
im on ubuntu 14.04 and installed the updates last night and slept. now when i start Genymotion i get the error that virtualbox is not installed. I used to get this error before but i always solved it with ..
Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
But this time things go different when i do that and i get the error...
Code:

vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why
. i did search on google. i found 2 posts last one is this one... https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2350741. But its closed and i cant reply to the thread. i have yet to try the suggestion it has in the post. Im afraid i lose my VM's if i do that?
Can someone please help me? I really need to fix this. My life depends on it. Thank you so much everyone for reading.
------EDIT : i was able to temporary fix the issue by choosing "advanced options for ubuntu in boot menu upon laptop reboot and choosing one version older.. this one " Ubuntu, with linux 4.4.0-112-generic " The latest was 116 after i updated.. But on 116 i wont be able to run Virtual box anymore. im not very tech savey. thank you so much
