Things didn't go well. Too many errors for a newbie to understand. It say to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup did that and now it says it wants dkms and extensions and I msut be a member of a user group .So one thing at a time and maybe I can get this working. I put windows as the OS and win 7 64 bit as the version in a box for guest, I think. Well, I am confused but will not quit. Please continue your great help from all of you. Thanks so much to all those who are helping and are so patient. As of now, VBox won't open. Just get one of several errors - usually the one about the driver in /etc/init ....... Thanks. Bob
I went through the same issues when I tried to install the newest virtual box on my suse 12.1. So when you run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup (as root or with sudo on (x/k/)ubuntu), what exactly do you get?
most probably, I then would use your software install tool to install dkms and kernel sources and all of the dependencies that will automatically come up.
Then you might run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup once again and let us know, what you get as a response.
Do not worry, this will run okay for you, very soon.

Here's what I get as root with /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules done Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules done Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS failed (Failed, trying without DKMS) Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules failed (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong What does all this mean. Hope I didn't mess things up too seriously. Tks again
