Linux mint Debian VirtualBox error

Hi,

You should try the following solutions:

1. Type the following commands

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install dkms

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

2. You can also tryrunning it without thesudo.caver1

3. Another option is to run this command in the /etc/init.d/ folder and paste in the output:

ls | grep vbox

According to me the first solution should work. If it doesn’t then you can try the other two solutions.

Hope you get your problem fixed.
