When I try to start it I get:



Failed to open a session for the virtual machine WindowsXp.

The virtual machine 'WindowsXp' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Machine
Interface: IMachine {5eaa9319-62fc-4b0a-843c-0cb1940f8a91}


and in another dialog:



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 the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.


When I try to run:



$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[sudo] password for umpirsky:
sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found


Any idea?

Do you experience the exact same message related to libpython in 386 ?
If yes, try to install it from the console to see exactly what is the error message.
To do so, browse to your download path if you downloaded it there



    cd ~/Downloads/


run the install command



    sudo dpkg -i your_file.deb


see the error message if you experience one. Then, try to update and see if you get any dependencies issues



    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f
