Screenshot from 2019-03-19 11-32-51.pngI have WindowsXP running in Vbox installed in Ubuntu 16.04. After an update of Ubuntu a few days ago, Vbox does not start the WindowsXP machine with two warning boxes -see the attached screenshot. I did as instructed by the warnings:
I had a look on the /var/log/vbox-setup.log file but, I have to admit, its content is beyond my linux expertise (I am a civil engineer, sorry about that!!).
I tried to solve the problem (as suggested by some post on web) removing completely VirtualBox with Synaptic, reinstalled it but got just the same result (process tried twice).
To my unskilled eye it looks the Ubuntu update removed something that was useless to Ubuntu but necessary to Vbox...
Thanks in advance for any help !
Code:
~$ sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
[sudo] password for ginus:
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vbox-setup.log to find out what went wrong.
There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root.I tried to solve the problem (as suggested by some post on web) removing completely VirtualBox with Synaptic, reinstalled it but got just the same result (process tried twice).
