Error de configuración de VirtualBox rcvboxdrv "Configuración de argumento incorrecto"

Después de actualizar el kernel, VirtualBox, como de costumbre, se quejó de que el controlador del kernel de VirtualBox Linux (vboxdrv) no está cargado y tuve que ejecutar el siguiente comando:

sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

Desafortunadamente, esta vez, la ejecución del rcvboxdrv setupmensaje falló Bad argument setup. Supongo que este es un error de regresión introducido en el reciente paquete VirtualBox en la página de Oracle.

¿Cómo solucionar el problema y poder ejecutar VirtualBox?

Desde un comentario en el ticket , ejecute el siguiente comando:

sudo /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup

en lugar del comando dado por VirtualBox.

En el rastreador de errores de Oracle descubrí que el problema ya está solucionado en la compilación de "prueba": https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds .

Ref: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15055

Hasta que esto se solucione, puede editar el /sbin/rcvboxdrvarchivo (por ejemplo, en una terminal usando el editor Nano vía sudo nano /sbin/rcvboxdrv) y agregar algunas líneas:

[…]
while test -n "${1}"; do
    case "${1}" in
        --nostart)
            START=
            ;;
        # START Workaround for https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15055
        setup)
            /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
            ;;
        # END
        *)
            echo "Bad argument ${1}" >&2
            exit 1
            ;;
    esac
    shift
done
[…]

Use CTRL + O para guardar los cambios. Después de esto, deberías poder volver a correr sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup.

Tuve el mismo problema en Kubuntu 14.04.3 con VirtualBox 5.0.14. Ninguna de las respuestas anteriores funcionó, pero el comentario de @ Takkat sugiere

sudo apt-get install --reinstall virtualbox-5.0

Trabajó para solucionar el problema.

Tuve el mismo problema en Redhat7. Encontré una sugerencia en otro foro para ejecutar: /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup Esto solucionó el problema. mi virtualbox está funcionando ahora.

Hay un recorrido:

Revertir /sbin/rcvboxdrva la versión anterior soluciona el problema. En caso de que la versión anterior del archivo ya no esté disponible para usted, aquí está la copia:
