Virtualbox With New Kernel
#1

Trying to use Virtualbox with kernel 4.2 but keep getting error: "No suitable module for running kernel found".


Anything we can do to troubleshoot this?

I tried both the one in the LL Repo and 5.0.8 for Ubuntu 15.10

I had the same error using both but currently I have 4.3.10 installed.

In that case it is unlikely to work with the LL kernels we supply, they're built differently than the Ubuntu ones. You'll have to use the stock kernel that ships with LL. Cheers Smile

Obviously I'm still learning...
I read that Virtualbox builds it's modules automatically on first install.
It needs to cater for all the variants of kernels.
If the kernel changes, it should re-build them, if dkms is installed.?

Not sure if this helps..??,
see section 2.3.2

maybe what I posted in other thread was wrong..??

I am running 5.0.8 with kernel 4.3 without issue. Perhaps you could remove everything VirtualBox related and start from scratch, and I mean everything.

@Jerry
Sorry, "Off Topic"..
What version of VBox is provided by Lite Software Centre.?
I have my pre Lite Software Centre version, the last update took it to 4.3.32
I think this was the last in the 4.x family.

@Wirezfree, whichever is in the Ubuntu repos at the time (see Synaptic).
