Hi all, On my home desktop, I'm running Debian on the testing channel (currently at "buster"). A recent apt-get upgrade appears to have broken or removed a few vital virtualbox packages, including virtualbox-dkms. Launching any VM in virtualbox throws this error message: [error] 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. [/error] Running modprobe as the error message suggests, though, gives me: modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/4.11.0-1-amd64 Current I'm running the 4.11.0-1-amd64 kernel, but can easily boot and run a 4.9 kernel (which is the last good working kernel I have). apt-cache search on my desktop doesn't bring up results for any virtualbox package, except for 'virtualbox-guest-additions-iso'. Is there a reason why virtualbox hasn't migrated into stretch or buster yet? While only a minor inconvenience of having to boot with another kernel, I would like to have the newer packages available for a consistent upgrade. Thanks, all. --Robert -- Nobody's ever lost in life...they're merely taking the scenic route. ============================== Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
