  • Run the following in a terminal
    sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

  • It worked. But after the reboot got the 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. Re-setup the kernel module by executing
    '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
    as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
