Looks like your latest system kernel (3.13....), which I'm guessing you upgraded to (or got pulled in with an update) within the last week does not match up with the versions of:
-- virtualbox-dkms
-- virtualbox-guest-dkms
and possibly
-- virtualbox-ose-dkms
that are needed for that kernel. The versions of above now on your system are for prior kernel. I'd bet that if you accessed grub menu and picked the menu item for the last kernel you used and booted computer with that, your VBox would work again.
To fix VBox to work with current new kernel, I'm guessing that you should be able to find the needed new versions of above in the Synaptic Package Manager.
* Open the package manager: Menu -> System -> Install/Remove Software
* Hit the "Reload" button in upper left and wait until it finishes reloading packages.
* In search box, type (without quotes) "virtualbox-dkms"
* Look through list to see if you find one that says it's version "4.3.10-dfsg-1". That's what you need.
* If you see it, mark it for installation by checking the box next to it.
* Find the version that is currently installed already (4.1.12-dfsg-2) and mark it for "complete removal". (Synaptic may tell you it's doing that when you pick the new version -- I don't know. If it does, then you won't need to manually do this step.)
* Do same thing for the others listed above. (I don't have "virtualbox-ose-dkms" on my system and don't know what it is; but if you find that and see a new version with number I noted above do same for that too.)
NOTE: your version of "dkms" is fine as it is. It's only the "virtualbox" dkms packages that need to be changed.
Also NOTE: You will need to reboot the computer after these changes for them to take effect.
I'm using LL 2.0 and do not have my system set to take kernel upgrades, so my Synaptic only shows me one version of above files. I'm guessing that since your system is set-up to accept new kernels it will show you multiple versions of those files.
