Eu sou muito novo no Ubuntu. Eu estava usando o genymotion nos últimos 2-3 dias. Quando tentei iniciá-lo hoje, isso indicava que algo estava errado com a caixa virtual. Eu tinha instalado a partir dos repos. Eu o desinstalei, reinstalei-o novamente dos repositórios, depois o desinstalei e depois o reinstalei usando o .deb do site do VirtualBox. Tentei instalar dkms, nada aconteceu. Tentando iniciar o Virtual Box Estou recebendo esta mensagem,
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (4.4.0-65-generic) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
Tentando executar o sudo / sbin / vboxconfig, recebo isto:
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
This system is not currently set up to build kernel modules (system extensions).
Running the following commands should set the system up correctly:
apt-get install linux-headers-4.4.0-65-generic
(The last command may fail if your system is not fully updated.)
apt-get install linux-headers-generic
vboxdrv.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong.

Running the following commands should set the system up correctly:

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run /sbin/vboxconfig as root.
O conteúdo do /var/log/vbox-install.log é:

E executando o apt-get install linux-headers-4.4.0-65-generic, eu recebo:
Package linux-headers-4.4.0-65-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'linux-headers-4.4.0-65-generic' has no installation candidate
