Hi. First off, I should probably warn you I've only been using linux for 2 weeks, so I'm a bit of a newbie. I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 and I started using VB last night by installing it from the repos. After working out that I needed to get the .deb package from the website to get USB support, I uninstalled VB with:
Then I installed the deb (32-bit) and tried to open the Windows 7 guest I had on the last version, and I got the following error:
This was followed with another pop-up error:
I tried creating a new machine and got the same error. So I'm guessing something went wrong in the uninstall of the repo version. When installing the .deb version with dpkg, I keep getting this:
As I said, I'm new to this kind of thing and couldn't even begin to guess what a Kernel Module is. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks
Code:
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox

RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912) The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox. |
Code:
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules
* Cannot unload module vboxdrv
