Post Body
When I try to open my Windows VM, I'm greeted with this message.
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. 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.
I've updated everything and, AFAIK, I've updated all of VB's drivers. Running modprobe returns
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-33-generic
