Estou tentando instalar e rodar o minikube, e para isso eu preciso instalar o virtualbox.
Estou tentando instalar o virtualbox no Ubuntu 18.04.
Eu já tinha o VirtualBox instalado, mas quando eu tentava executá-lo, ou o minikube, eu recebia o seguinte erro:
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist. Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.

Para executar o virtualbox, você precisa carregar alguns módulos no kernel. Ou você tem módulos binários correspondentes ao seu kernel, ou você pode compilá-los a partir da fonte correspondente ao seu kernel. Parece que você não tem os módulos e a compilação falhou ou não foi tentada.
No meu sistema, os drivers são compilados com
/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
Execute esse comando manualmente e procure por sugestões que possam estar erradas.
