How To Fix “Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)” VirtualBox Error In Ubuntu
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
I use Oracle VirtualBox to test various Linux and Unix distributions. I’ve tested hundred of virtual machines in VirtualBox so far. Today, I started Ubuntu 18.04 server VM in my Ubuntu 18.04 desktop and I got the following error.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
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.
|
||
```

“Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)” Error in Ubuntu
|
||
|
||
I clicked OK to close the message box and and I saw another one in the background.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
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}
|
||
```

||
The virtual machine has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)
|
||
|
||
I didn’t know what to do first. I ran the following command to check if it helps.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And, I got this error.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.0-23-generic
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
After carefully reading the both error messages, I realized that I should update the Virtualbox application.
|
||
|
||
If you ever run into this error in Ubuntu and its variants like Linux Mint, all you have to do is just reinstall or update the **“virtualbox-dkms”** package using command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo apt install virtualbox-dkms
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or, it is much better to update the whole system:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo apt upgrade
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now the error has gone and I could start VMs from VirtualBox without any issues.
