Virtualbox - recompile kernel modules

English Applications
1

I have virtualbox installed, and it was working fine until a kernel update a few weeks ago (I think).

I followed the instructions here but when I try to recompile the kernel modules via the instructions:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

I get a no such file or directory error. Is this procedure different in 42.1?

gcc, make and kernel-devel are installed.

Try this one

/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup

Also,
Is this on the Host or in the Guest?
If in the Guest, modules are re-built when you re-install Guest Additions.

Ok, that worked. Thanks.

FWIW, if you install from the Virtualization repository, you don’t need
to go through this process.
