As he informs us, the problem is that the file / dev / vboxdrv not loaded o have permission problems. This error precisely describes us perfectly what we must do to solve it. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. Please reinstall the kernel module by executingĪs root. The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with / dev / vboxdrv. If you use VirtualBox frequently, and you have suddenly updated the system or the kernel, it may be that when trying to start VirtualBox as you have always done, you cannot do it due to an error similar to the following: In this post we will show you how easy it is to solve this problem and how we can make VirtualBox work correctly again.

A fairly frequent problem related to the world of virtual machines, in this case VirtualBox, is that when we update the kernel or the system in general, the virtual machine stops working and there is no way to start it.
