Ubuntu :: Terminal Says It "Cannot Unload Module Vboxdrv"?
May 1, 2010
I'm having problems with Screen and VirtualBox, and the problems seem similar as if crucial components have vanished. Here is the screen issue and the last three posts are me. Basically, the solutions have been temporary so far. I changed the mode and group of /var/run/screen like the OP said but have not shutdown yet, so I don't know if that's a permanent solution yet. The other two temporary solutions didn't prove to be temporary until I shutdown and came back several hours later. Screen was still working after a reboot.
The same thing is happening with VBox: after doing what VBox tells me to do, the solution was temporary, and the same problem popped up after the next boot. Here are similar problems: I made sure I was in the vboxusers group. I added the module like the first one said, and it took me to another level of malfunction. I didn't take a screenshot or make a note of the first error message, but I've attached the second. Also, sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup did not work this time after adding the module. Like the first link said, vboxdrv didn't exist for him or her, so maybe my problem is similar. My terminal says it "Cannot unload module vboxdrv".
I installed VirtualBox-OSE and VirtualBox-Kernel from the Slackbuilds at slackbuilds.org.When I start VirtualBox I get the following message on the CLI: Code: WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded.Either there is no module available for the current kernel (2.6.33.4-smp) or it failed to load.Please recompile the kernel module and install it by sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup.You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.I gave /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv executable permissions, and then ran.The only issue is, I have to do this each time that I reboot, should I add 'modprobe vboxdrv' to one of the startup scripts or is something else wrong?
I have a hard time unloading a module (that is it's more stubborn than an aging leprechaun) that is being reported as not being used by lsmod:
Code: Select allroot@groot:~# modprobe -vr saa7134_alsa modprobe: FATAL: Module saa7134_alsa is in use. root@groot:~# lsmod | grep saa saa7134_alsa 17686 0 saa7134 174878 1 saa7134_alsa tveeprom 20593 1 saa7134
[Code] .....
Why I would need such an outlandish thing is that after I was forced to do a system reinstall thus losing my previous conf files I've been trying to reinstall my saa7134 tvcard. Normally i2c should handle the problem but it won't detect it. So I have a nice little script I found and modified to find the correct card although it is a bit tedious to run:
Code: Select all#/bin/sh MAXCARD=150 for m in $(seq 0 $MAXCARD); do MAXTUNER=69 for i in $(seq 0 $MAXTUNER);
[Code] ...
But I can't unload saa7134 because saa7134_alsa is using it, and I can't unload saa7134_alsa, because, well, because the system doesn't feel like it. I've blacklisted the module (saa7134_alsa) but it gets loaded none the less and won't go away.
I have installed Virtualbox PUEL in 64-bit 11.3. This is a fresh install. My computer has an onboard nvidia 8300GS graphics card. I do not think this is related to the issue. I added the virtualbox repository and installed the program via yast. when I type "VirtualBox" in the terminal I get the following output:
Anyone else having issues with the Atheros AR8132 and the atl1c module? I am on the 2.6.38.8-35.fc15.i686.PAE kernel, tried with a few others but it's flaky no matter which I choose.
Sometimes if I load/unload the atl1c module a few times the link will come up, but it seems the module is not even being loaded at boot and I have to modprobe it just to see the NIC.
I heva Debian "Lenny" 5.0 with a 2.6.31.3 kernel. I've got some trouble with VirtualBox.When I start virtualbox I get such outbut:

[sergey@localhost:~]$ virtualbox WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist. install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel and load the module named vboxdrv into your system. You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
But when I do 'insmod vboxdrv.ko' (or even w/o '.ko', 'modprobe vboxdrv') it says that there is no vboxdrv.ko.What have I to do to run virtual-machines? (NOTE: Kernel 2.6.31.3 I've compiled manually, and there is no virtualbox-ose-modules package for kernel 2.6.31.3 in repository)
I'm having a weird issue, I have Virtualbox 3.1 installed on the Fedora 12 and everytime I restart the "/dev/vboxdrv" gets deleted so every time I need to run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup".
Recently I had updated the kernel but afterwards I can't run virtualbox because the kernel modules aren't loaded.
Virtual box: 3.1.4 r57640 OpenSuse110-x86_64 Open Suse 11.0 running kernel-default-2.6.25.20-0.7
When I try to start vboxdrv manually I can find the message: kernel: warning: `VirtualBox' uses deprecated v2 capabilities in a way that may be insecure.
After I installed the older kernel-default-2.6.25.20-0.6 version I can start virtualbox.
But, much to my suprise, I also get this message with this kernel level. But still, the kerneldrivers are loaded and I can run virtualbox.
I have downloaded the source code of bochs. and I use make install command to install it onto my box. But how could I uninstall it? I run the sudo apt-get remove bochs, but it said I didn't install the bochs...
i am getting this error msg check old driver and unload it.build the module and install/ethr/r8168-8.024.00/src/r8168_n.c:222: warning : 'MODULE_PARM_'IS deprecated (declared atinclue/linux/module.h:h552) ;
I have problems to get Virtualbox 3.2.8 under openSuse 11.3 (2.6.34.7-0.2-desktop, x86-64) running. I tried both the VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.8_64453_openSUSE113-1.x86_64 package from Virtualbox and self-compiled drivers as well as the newest RPM packages from openSuse(backports). I mostly get the following error during the vboxdrv load:
[ 269.095562] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently... [ 269.095562] vboxdrv: Successfully done. [ 269.095562] vboxdrv: Found 6 processor cores.
[code]....
However I already tried different combinations of previous kernels and virtualbox versions and the error persists. This is somewhat strange. Sometimes I was able to get proper drivers when reinstalling the whole stuff under failsafe mode a couple of times. But still not cleary reproducable.
I'm using the following bash script to load a null sink and loopbacks on command.
I want to have a separate script that will unload the modules loaded in this script. However, the pacmd unload-module only accepts the index number, not the name. I have no way of knowing what the index numbers will be as they change each time, so I've got stuck writing the script.
I recently received a used laptop that I was going to use for my kids, a Compaq Presario 2100. Everything went fine on the install, however I could not get the WiFi to work. The internal card, a Broadcom BCM4306, was attempting to use the b43legacy drivers, which I understand to be the native driver for this card, but would get all sorts of strange errors in 'dmesg', and would never get a solid connection.
After fiddling with this for 2 days, and reading countless troubleshooting guides, I finally gave up and decided to get it working with ndiswrapper. Everything worked perfect, except I can only get it to work if I first load b43legacy, then load ndiswrapper, then unload b43legacy. If I blacklist b43legacy, and just load ndiswrapper, iwconfig does not report a wlan0.
I ran across this posting, and decided to try this, but it also did not work. Plus, with this file in place, any attempt to use modprobe would complain about every line of that file.
I have a problem in Ubuntu 10.04. The bug is well know which makes the hard disk head to park often (2-3 times per minute) that's dangerous for the drive in the long term and annoying for me (click-click-click).I found out the "ugly-fix" for old Ubuntu version which was :hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda instead of 128. It works. The problem is that it doesn't remains (when restart/standby/ac connection-disconnection).I found a script well known too :Code:1) make a file named "99-hdd-spin-fix.sh". The important thing is starting with "99".2) make sure the file contains the following 2 lines (fix it if you have PATA HDD):
#!/bin/sh hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda 3) copy this file to 3 locations:
I installed Redhat nash version 5.1.19.6 with kernel 2.6.18-128.el5-xen-i686 on a Dell Inspiron 1300 with Broadcom BCM4401 (eth0/LAN) and BCM4318 (eth1/WLAN). eth0 is working fine, but eth1 was causing trouble. After some difficulties with missing packages I managed to install ndiswrapper, blacklisted module bcm43xx in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and removed it, loaded module ndiswrapper and had connection. But after reboot module bcm43xx was again loaded. So blacklisting does not seem to work.And additionally strange to me, I cannot unload module bcm43xx anymore. And if I load ndiswrapper driver bcm43xx is still used as the terminal command 'dmesg' is showing me in the system log, while ndiswrapper was used when the connection was once and only once established
I'm trying to enable the rewrite module in apache, to enabled the module I followed the last entry in the fist page this thread:[URL]...When I restart the apache all works fine, so I supose it's enabled

I am trying to install a Sunix 4018T dual parallel port card on a pc with Mandriva Linux 2010.1: Dealer told me that linux has driver for this card already so I inserted it and turned on my pc. Unfortunately when I try to install my Okidata ML320, cups it's not showing any parallel ports. I try to update all the system with last patches and packages :I tested the card on a pc with windows xp, installed my printer and it works perfectly.
Can someone tell me how to correct the "Invalid module format"? I hope that correcting the "Invalid module format" error, I will not have the "Unknown symbol in module" error.
Note: I am using wlan1 for this module as I previously am online with the wlan0 network.The same error occurs if I use ./wlan0up.
1. Added myself to vboxusers 2. Installed dkms 3. Ran the "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" command.
When I run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" it gives me the error: modprobe vboxdrv failed. use 'dmesg' to find out why
Code: 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. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. One other thing, I looked in the file system and there is no "/dev/vboxdrv". Is this correct?
my error when trying to run a VB (Virtualbox). Error as copied from error box. install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root. VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).

I get this when trying to launch a VB after making one with wizzard.
I need to install module u32 into the netfilter module for kernel 2.6.27.
I did not see the source code in the kernel version I have. where can I find the code for U32 module.
I have checked "netfilter.org" and looks like POM is discontinued. Is the u32 module committed to kernel version 2.6.27 or need to patch it. If yes, where can I find the patch?
OK Trying a fresh install of bnome openSuse, and I have certainly screwwed something up again and hope I don't have to reinstall again., arghhhh! Tomboy won't open, even after reinstallation, and below is the error, but first, as well I can't open my .odt file with openoffice writer!
now the error... #tomboy Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ...and lots more
