    Problem with VirtualBox on Kali

    Hi guys,
    I install VirtualBox on my Kali Version Version 3.22.2, Architecture 64 bit, on my PC Latitude E6230 by command "apt-get install VirtualBox" and all was fine, after the installation i start VirtualBox and try to install a Windows Sistem on the machine but the system reply:

    Code:
    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.
    
    where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.
    So what I must do?
    Thanks

    install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
    sudo apt-get install dkms
    and then run
    sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
    and write your password.

    Uninstall virtualbox-dkms and its configurations by running the below commands:

    sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-dkms
    sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox-dkms

    Install Linux headers and Linux image by running the below command:

    sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64

    Install virtualbox-dkms

    sudo apt-get install -y virtualbox-dkms
