VirtualBox won't start after upgrading Ubuntu kernel
 
I get a "kernel driver not installed" error when attempting to launch VirtualBox after the recent upgrade to 3.13.0-43-generic. A dialog then tells me I should run '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' -- but this errors out as well. Anyone know of a fix? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but with the same results. Any help would be appreciated.

Vbox is REALLY fussy about kernel headers matching the running kernel, try reinstalling the kernel headers and then rerunning the vbox setup script in etc
