Hello, been fighting this for 3 days.
Please help. lol
Here are all my outcomes.
Opening VirtualBox:
$ virtualbox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (4.9.7-201.fc25.x86_64) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
Then I try to open a new machine on virtual box and it reads:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
/sbin/vboxconfig
so I run sudo /sbin/vboxconfig and it reads:
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxdrv.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxdrv.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxballoonctrl-service.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxballoonctrl-service.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxautostart-service.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxautostart-service.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxweb-service.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxweb-service.service.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
This system is not currently set up to build kernel modules (system extensions).
Running the following commands should set the system up correctly:
yum install kernel-core-devel-4.9.7-201.fc25.x86_64
(The last command may fail if your system is not fully updated.)
yum install kernel-core-devel
vboxdrv.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong.
This system is not currently set up to build kernel modules (system extensions).
Running the following commands should set the system up correctly:
yum install kernel-core-devel-4.9.7-201.fc25.x86_64
(The last command may fail if your system is not fully updated.)
yum install kernel-core-devel
There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root.
So i run dnf install kernel-core-devel and dnf install kernel-headers
then it says I already have kernel core 4.9.7-201 installed as well as others,
but I run dnf reinstall kernel-core-devel-4.9.7-201.fc25.x86_64 just incase
to which is says no such thing exists.
When I run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv It says no file or directory, what am I missing. Please help lol
My log file reads back:
Makefile:185: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop
Secureboot is off, fastboot is off, windows faststartup is off, virtualization is on. I don't know what I'm missing. lol
