After the last kernel update (4.15.0-29-lowlatency #31~16.04), I
encountered this error. To resolve it, I needed to `apt-get update &&
apt-get dist-upgrade` *and* it was necessary to disable UEFI secure boot
or the vboxdrv module would not launch.
The bug is not resolved, in that a kernel update to this version is not
clean and trouble-free.
*** Dialog upon launching virtualbox
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.
