Thread: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) Virturalbox Error Ubuntu 12.10 on Acer C7

i have looked in variety of places solution , posting last resort. if redundant post apologize in advance.

running ubuntu 12.10 "chrubuntu" on acer c7 , have had hard time trying windows 7 installed in virturalbox.
whenever try start vm error:
kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
virtualbox linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) either not loaded or there permission problem /dev/vboxdrv. please reinstall kernel module executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
root. if available in distribution, should install dkms package first. package keeps track of linux kernel changes , recompiles vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

have tried number of ways fix problem including:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-dkms - gives me error e: unable locate package virtualbox-dkm
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms

know if able install virturalbox? uninstall , start on trying work i'm not sure how that.
appreciated,

not virtualbox-dkms, dkms on host.

note: ubuntu/debian users might want install dkms package ensure virtualbox host kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt , vboxnetadp) updated if linux kernel version changes during next apt-get upgrade. debian available in lenny backports , in normal repository squeeze , later. dkms package can installed through synaptic package manager or through following command:

sudo apt-get install dkms
