The program VM starts with errors:




WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and the appropriate
headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.



You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Have you tried to build the kernel module?. It should have been builded during the installation, but it looks like it failed. You can try:



sudo dkms install virtualbox/4.1.2


This should build the module.
