I need to run Vagrant for my projects, when I try to up it:

user@chrubuntu:/var/www/***$ vagrant up
VirtualBox is complaining that the installation is incomplete. Please
run `VBoxManage --version` to see the error message which should contain
instructions on how to fix this error.

VBoxManage --version

user@chrubuntu:/var/www/***$ VBoxManage --version
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
     Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
     headers, most likely linux-headers-3.8.11.

     You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
4.2.16_Ubuntur86992

I had try to setup vboxdrv by:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
    * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules                                            
    * No suitable module for running kernel found           [fail]

dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox

user@chrubuntu:/var/www/***$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox
+ sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox
[sudo] password for user: 
 * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules  [ OK ] 
 * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules
 * No suitable module for running kernel found          [fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox, action "restart" failed.

dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms

user@chrubuntu:/var/www/***$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms
+ sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms

Try installing the following missing packages:

sudo apt-get install dkms linux-headers-generic virtualbox-ose-source

Also try:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

For more details, check: Build kernel headers and install Virtualbox (x86) page.
