[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#723186: virtualbox: Virtual machine terminates on start: error code 1

[River]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-2+deb7u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
After installing virtualbox I ran the setup to creat a virtual machine, with
all the normal options. When I clicked start to run it first time it said
*Failed to open a session for the virtual machine knoppix deb live.
The virtual machine 'knoppix deb live' has terminated unexpectedly during
startup with exit code 1.
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Machine
Interface:
IMachine {5eaa9319-62fc-4b0a-843c-0cb1940f8a91}*

And then another window popped open that said
*Virtualbox - error in suplibOsInit
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 the kernel module by
executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS
package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles
the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.*

I installed the DKMS package and then ran /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and it said
*bash: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: No such file or directory
*
I set up another virtual machine with the same result.
