Unable to Install VirtualBox Due to Missing Kernel Module
I have dual systems: Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on my machine. Now I would like to install virtualbox under Ubuntu.
When i do sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose, there is an error:
Setting up virtualbox-ose (4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu4) ...
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Starting VirtualBox kernel modules
* No suitable module for running kernel found
[fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox-ose, action "restart" failed.
then launching virtualbox in a terminal, I got this warning:
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and the appropriate
headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
Then I did "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-dkms" and "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic", they all told me that the package is already the newest version.
To fix the kernel module issue, it seems that i have to install kernel-devel. But i got a problem:
root@ubuntu# yum install kernel-devel
Setting up Install Process
No package kernel-devel available.
Nothing to do
Then i am stuck...
Could anyone help me to get rid of this warning, and also get the kernel module loaded?
Thank you very much
