virtualbox Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Raw
gistfile1.txt
from https://forum.manjaro.org/t/error-on-virtualbox-on-manjaro-linux/2528
in a terminal do
uname -a
it will show something like this Linux user 4.6.0-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 16 02:44:59 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
In bold is your kernel version, so install the virtualbox host modules for your kernel number replacing 46 with what your output showed from the above.
sudo pacman -S linux46-virtualbox-host-modules
Now load your virtualbox module
sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup
Virtualbox should run normally now - if not, use pamac and uninstall anything related to virtualbox then just install the 'virtualbox' package and it will do the above for you if you tell it the kernel version you are using
