Over the past few days, some of our users have reported having Ubuntu 12.04 Virtualbox kernel modules.

Would have

I ran into this issue after converting my Ubuntu repository version to ppa translation. The cause of the problem is clearly indicated in the error response: version mismatch of the kernel module. I did it with

. confirmed

  modinfo vboxdrv

which is also back to 5.0 (I have vbox 5.1 from ppa).

I removed virtualbox-dkms because Who’s installation will also install the standard vbox series from the Ubuntu repository. But the core web template modules were still part of the modules that DKMS can handle from (/ lib / modules / (kernelversion) -generic / updates / dkms /), so I think scripts probably won’t work: < / p>

  sudo / sbin / vboxconfig

who apparently did everything as usual, I turned off the modulesdra, recompiled, reloaded those (so-called) new kernel modules. In addition to the version of the module, 5.0 was also improved.

  sudo / sbin / rcvboxdrv-Setup

Then I decided to delete the modules in the usual way, since I didn’t like that they are in some kind of dkms folder. To do this, you need to use

. to help

  sudo rmmod vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxpci vboxdrv

then remove the module images / lib / modules / (kernelversion) -generic / updates / dkms. Then run / sbin / rcvboxdrv

  sudo config

again, and voila, the new modules are actually v5.1 and no longer in dkms, our virtual machines are running.

Now I think that due to this, perhaps the modules in /lib/modules/4.4.0-59-generic/misc/ have been cleverly recompiled, but when loading the dkms module, modules may be given priority. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to figure it out.

How to build modules for other installed kernels?

VirtualBox Guest Additions: To create modules for other installed corn kernels, run VirtualBox Guest Additions: / sbin / rcvboxadd quicksetup VirtualBox Guest Additions: Create modules using kernel 4.18.0-18-generic. Indeed, this system is currently configured to build kernel modules. Please install gcc make perl packages according to your distribution.

ps. : if you do the same switch from repo version to ppa version, make sure to publish to professional users vbox (newly created), then log out again and.

Ubuntu 12.04 VirtualBox 4.2.12 worked fine until I had to install a guest add-on. Posle installation of the computer:

  Unable to open session, so VM leaves Win 7 with code 1; RTR3Init error with rc = -1912 (rc = 1912)
