Virtualbox: initscript virtualbox, action "restart" failed

#1 Post by niilav »

On my Debian 11 with the kernel updated to 5.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (installed to solve the problem with the wifi card),
I have this problem in Virtualbox after install (before with kernel 5.10 I didn't have it):

Code: Select all

    invoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox, action "restart" failed.
    ● virtualbox.service - LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module
         Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/virtualbox; generated)

    ene 17 13:18:26 DESKDEB-HP systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module.
How can I solve it?

Thanks in advance!!

I had a similar problem in that I was running a new kernel release and VB just had not caught up with all the changes. I had to revert to the previous kernel to get it working. Eventually, VB released an update that worked with the newer kernel. Perhaps thats the reason.
Get your linux on.

Yes, from what I understand it is the same problem.
We will have to wait and see if VB updates the kernel.

Thanks!
