I'm trying to create a Win 7 virtual machine in my ubuntu 13.10 installation. But every time I try to run it first I get this message:
When I run that command I get this:
And the tail of the log says this:
Now I have been debugging this all morning and I can clearly say that the computer is correct about the makefile. The only makefile I have is a symlink that links back to itself, so there is no make file. But I have installed and reinstalled the kernel headers and images multiple times and nothing seems to help. I have all of the other necessary packages installed-- build-essential, dkms, generic kernel images and headers, etc. I also tried installing the .deb package of virtualbox from Oracle and that didn't help. I got:
this:
And this log:
Any ideas?
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.Code:
