Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hello Ubuntu Team,
I already reported one of bug related to my new Ubuntu 16.04 installation
[1], which has to do with the touchpad not working at all after fresh
installation of ubuntu 16.04.
Now I installed the Oracle Virtualbox VM following the instructions given
here [2], however it failed to boot, throwing this error-message [3].
The output of 'sudo /sbin/vboxconfig' is given in [4], the dmesg output could
be find in attachment as text file.
What has been asked in the instructions does not have any output:
pooja@X1-Carbon-6:~/Downloads$ cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
pooja@X1-Carbon-6:~/Downloads$ sudo lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log
pooja@X1-Carbon-6:~/Downloads$
Any guidence how to fix this bug is appreciated.
Thanks
