One can build virtualbox kernel module package for the latest kernel using module assistant and virtualbox-ose-source package.
First, 'apt-get install virtualbox-ose-source', that would install module-assistant too if it's not allready installed. Then, go to /usr/src, there will be virtualbox-ose.tar.bz2 file. Untar it, go to /usr/src/modules, and create symboilic link from virtualbox- ose to virtualbox: ln -s virtualbox-ose virtualbox Then use module assistant to build the kernel module package: module-assistant build virtualbox After that, in /usr/src you'll have a .deb package with the virtualbox kernel module for your installed kernel. module-assistant install virualbox and your package is installed. Load the module: modprobe vboxdrv To check if the kernel module is loaded, use: lsmod | grep vbox. vboxdrv module should be listed. Of course, then the next kernel update arrives this proces should be repeated. -- virtualbox-ose-modules broken AGAIN https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
