[SOLVED] /sbin/vboxconfig doesn't exist

Good Afternoon All,

Running Linux-zen. I get ~ 10 more FPS on my steam games....

Virtualbox throws the error to run /sbin/vboxconfig (obviously should be ran as root - or sudo).

DKMS in installed, as the VirtualBox DKMS, and the linuz-zen headers.....

I looked manually in sbin.....vboxconfig doesn't exist there - neither is there a symlink......

May I please ask how to rebuild my virtualbox modules against the zen kernel? Or what package I need to install that I'm missing?

For the record...All packages to date have been installed via the package manager...

Assistance and/pointers will be appreciated!

Hi, virtualbox modules for zen, may be build only with dkms

[Edit] The correct coomand is, as below
Code: [Select]
sudo /sbin/vboxreload

DKMS threw an error when I installed zen....Can I please get the cli to rebuild the modules - so I can catch the exact error I'm getting please?

Thanks!

Edit: "sudo /usr/bin/rcvboxdrv setup" makes no attempt to build the modules - just complains that they don't exist...

Solved....

The DKMS package doesn't do it on it's own...but a broad-brush "sudo dkms autoinstall" from a cli does. It rebuilt the modules without issue, and my VM's work just fine under the zen kernel....

I also have Linux-zen and virtualbox, but I haven't noticed any problems with dkms lately
