如何在 Ubuntu 中修复 VirtualBox 的 “Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)” 错误
======

我使用 Oracle VirtualBox 来测试各种 Linux 和 Unix 发行版。到目前为止，我已经在 VirtualBox 中测试了上百个虚拟机。今天，我在我的 Ubuntu 18.04 桌面上启动了 Ubuntu 18.04 服务器版虚拟机，我收到了以下错误。

```
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 virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing

'modprobe vboxdrv'

as root.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.
```

*Ubuntu 中的 “Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)” 错误*

我点击了 OK 关闭消息框，然后在后台看到了另一条消息。

```
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server.

The virtual machine 'Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).

Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
MachineWrap
Interface:
IMachine {85cd948e-a71f-4289-281e-0ca7ad48cd89}
```

*启动期间虚拟机意外终止，退出代码为 1（0x1）*

我不知道该先做什么。我运行以下命令来检查是否有用。

```
$ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
```

我收到了这个错误：

```
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.0-23-generic
```

仔细阅读这两个错误消息后，我意识到我应该更新 Virtualbox 程序。

如果你在 Ubuntu 及其衍生版（如 Linux Mint）中遇到此错误，你只需使用以下命令重新安装或更新 `virtualbox-dkms` 包：

```
$ sudo apt install virtualbox-dkms
```

或者，最好更新整个系统：

```
$ sudo apt upgrade
```

错误消失了，我可以正常在 VirtualBox 中启动虚拟机了。
