VirtualBox error "Kernel driver not installed"

I can't seem to make VirtualBox to work, I've installed it and reinstalled by 3 ways: Terminal, Ubuntu Software Center and VirtualBox's official web site installation and I keep getting the same kernel error.

This command

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms

Returns

virtualbox-dkms is already the newest version

I tried what the error tells me:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

but then I tells me that DKMS is actually NOT installed (which is a contradiction).

If anyone has encountered the same problem and actually solved it please tell me and explain me step by step 'cause I'm new to Linux.

Fixed! I've managed to fix it by typing in terminal:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
