Unable to run Virtualbox after latest kernel update

BValaski_WC · April 24, 2017, 2:42am

Hey folks, I’ve been re-reading through the various VirtualBox issues presented here and trying to follow some of the previous suggestions, but without luck. The error’s I’m getting are:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

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

‘/sbin/vboxconfig’

as root.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

When I try to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup I get the following error:

vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
depmod: ERROR: fstatat(5, vboxdrv.ko): No such file or directory
depmod: ERROR: fstatat(5, vboxnetadp.ko): No such file or directory
depmod: ERROR: fstatat(5, vboxnetflt.ko): No such file or directory
depmod: ERROR: fstatat(5, vboxpci.ko): No such file or directory
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use ‘dmesg’ to find out why.

I tried removing and reinstalling VirtualBox but receive the same errors. Anyone have some suggestions? I’m providing the output that I’ve seen posted in earlier threads relating to VB issues for some of the details relating to my system - please let me know if there’s other output that may help resolve this problem?

I have this issue as well. I just ran /etc/init.d/vboxdrv force-reload as root and now Virtualbox runs OK.

Oh FANTASTIC Stuart - fixed it right up! Thanks much!

vbelloir · April 25, 2017, 6:07pm

Hi,

Unfortunatly, it doesn’t work on my machine.

In root :

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv force-reload 
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.

There is noting in dmesg related to vboxdrv.

Any help please?

Can you help me please?

I reply to myself.
I downloaded the old library from here : https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libvpx.so.1()(64bit)

I seleted

and installed it :

Sortie rpm supplémentaire:

Creating group 'vboxusers'. VM users must be member of that group!

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxdrv.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxdrv.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxballoonctrl-service.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxballoonctrl-service.service.

I had to install the new VB Extension Pack, and now, my VM is running.

But I must say that I am not really happy with that solution. I hope that installing the old livpx library will not broke something on my system, and I prefer install a package form a repo…

Wait and see…

just a thought, virtualbox from tumbleweed repos has been absolutely solid (except trivial modprobe vboxdrv issue of late) and tracks upstream release quite closely. If your having trouble with upstream version, just use this (rather than using rpmfind etc).

There are more topics about this issue.
And it’s not just a virtualbox that does not start, I also have the same problem with webmin.
The problem is in init.d … the files for virtualbox and webmin are corrupt.

If the init.d file for virtualbox is corrupt why when I run it manually does it then work? Yes it fails on boot but runs manually.

Okay, you have a point there.

wolfi323 · April 26, 2017, 3:50pm

No, they are not corrupt.

It’s a general problem that scripts in /etc/init.d/ are no longer started on boot:

Apparently, creating a symlink named /etc/rc.d/ that points to /etc/init.d/ should “fix” it.

sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/ /etc/rc.d

Indeed, this fixes it, after restart everything works again.
thank you…

Awesome, thanks! That did the trick.
