Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
If the kernel module (vboxdrv.ko) is not loaded, virtualbox-ose fails with this
error:
"""
VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either
not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel
module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).
"""
This is misleading:
1. Currently there's no /etc/init.d/vboxdrv script (I have a patch provided for
this in bug 152376)
2. There would still be no "setup" action, but "start" should get used instead.
virtualbox-ose-modules provides the matching driver.
Therefor the error message should refer to virtualbox-ose-modules and
the correct startup script action.
I'll provide a debdiff to fix this (and also bug 152386).
