问题描述
在14.10更新为VirtualBox之后，我不能再运行我的盒子了。值得注意的是，运行sudo service virtualbox status返回VirtualBox kernel module is not loaded，运行sudo service virtualbox restart显示：
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Starting VirtualBox kernel modules
* No suitable module for running kernel found
[fail]
当我尝试运行一个框时，VirtualBox GUI会弹出一个对话框，提示我应该运行sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup，但在14.10安装中没有/etc/init.d/vboxdrv。
这让人联想到this question。根据一些答案，我尝试卸载(使用purge)并重新安装VirtualBox。这没有帮助。但是，我无法安装：
linux-headers-`uname -r`
因为没有名为linux-headers-3.13.0-30-generic的软件包。我确实安装了linux-headers-generic和linux-source以及dkms，但是重新安装仍然失败：

那么…如何获取“此内核的内核源”(3.13.0-30-generic)或以其他方式使VirtualBox正确安装？
最佳方案
从Ubuntu 14.04升级到14.10似乎有些麻烦。您应该具有3.16.0-30的内核版本
确保您的/etc/apt/sources.list仅包含带有’utopic’的条目，而不包含’trusty’。然后确保已安装以下软件包，或在必要时安装它们：
apt-get install linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic linux-signed-generic
之后，您应该可以删除re-install virtualbox并重建内核模块。
次佳方案
对于那些可能有相同问题的人：
我的系统是Linux Mint 17.1(使用Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty存储库)。
我尝试使用以下方法安装VirtualBox：
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
并遇到同样的错误。
解：
使用以下命令卸载VirtualBox的错误版本：
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
然后从https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads获取安装程序并安装deb软件包。是说您的存储库中存在相同的版本…但是那样就可以了。
第三种方案
我总是发现“删除并重新安装”，所以windows-esque …我用sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms解决了(当然，如果您还没有安装，可以使用sudo apt install virtualbox-dkms)
