Bug Description

I upgrade ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 and virtualbox stop to working, the error is:

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.

the file "vboxdrv" exists but don't execute.

Somebody could help me ASAP

Thanks
