I am trying to set up VirtualBox on Ubuntu 22.04 by running the command:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox vagrant
The installation was completed successfully, However, at the end of the installation, I encountered the following error:
Job for virtualbox.service failed because the control process exited with an error code.See "systemctl status virtualbox.service" and "journalctl -xeu virtualbox.service" for details.invoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox, action "restart" failed.× virtualbox.service - LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/virtualbox; generated) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2024-02-03 03:00:32 EET; 26ms ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 26909 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/virtualbox start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 129ms...
The error message suggests that loading the VirtualBox kernel modules failed with the message modprobe
vboxdrv
failed. Please use dmesg
to find out why
Can someone help me figure out why and how to fix it? I have Ubuntu 22.04.1
