I updated the version of Virtualbox from 5.0.4 to 5.1.9, but can not be used. The error message as follows:enter image description here
Proceed as follows:
$ uname -a
Linux pc-name 4.2.0-42-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 21:26:26 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
1). Run the following command to uninstall the old version
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox - \ * && sudo apt-get purge virtualbox - \ * && sudo rm ~ / "VirtualBox VMs" -Rf && sudo rm ~ / .config / VirtualBox / -Rf
There are the following major errors in the run:
Dpkg: Warning: The directory /usr/share/virtualbox is not empty when the virtualbox is uninstalled, so the directory is not deleted
2). Install the new version from the source (using the source provided by virtualbox.org)
sudo apt-get install -f virtualbox-5.1
There are the following major errors in the run:
Unknown media type in type 'all / all'
Unknown media type in type 'all / allfiles'
and
Vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.
There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
As root.
3). I use dmesg view to get the following information:
