Erro de configuração do VirtualBox rcvboxdrv “Configuração incorreta de argumentos”

Depois de atualizar o kernel, o VirtualBox, como sempre, reclamou que o driver do kernel do VirtualBox Linux (vboxdrv) não estava carregado e eu tive que executar o seguinte comando:

sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

Infelizmente, desta vez, a execução do rcvboxdrv setupfalhou com a mensagem Bad argument setup. Eu acho que esse é um erro de regressão introduzido no recente pacote VirtualBox na página da Oracle.

Como corrigir o problema e poder executar o VirtualBox?

Em um comentário no ticket , execute o seguinte comando:

sudo /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup

em vez do comando dado pelo VirtualBox.

No rastreador de erros da Oracle, descobri que o problema já foi corrigido na compilação "test": https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds .

Ref: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15055

Até que isso seja corrigido, você pode editar o /sbin/rcvboxdrvarquivo (por exemplo, em um terminal usando o Nano editor via sudo nano /sbin/rcvboxdrv) e adicionar algumas linhas:

[…]
while test -n "${1}"; do
    case "${1}" in
        --nostart)
            START=
            ;;
        # START Workaround for https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15055
        setup)
            /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
            ;;
        # END
        *)
            echo "Bad argument ${1}" >&2
            exit 1
            ;;
    esac
    shift
done
[…]

Use CTRL + O para salvar as alterações. Depois disso, você poderá executar sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setupnovamente.

Eu tive o mesmo problema no Kubuntu 14.04.3 com o VirtualBox 5.0.14. Nenhuma das respostas anteriores funcionou, mas o comentário de @ Takkat sugere

sudo apt-get install --reinstall virtualbox-5.0

trabalhou para corrigir o problema.

Eu tive o mesmo problema no Redhat7. Encontrei uma sugestão em outro fórum para executar: /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup Isso corrigiu o problema. minha caixa virtual está funcionando agora.

Há uma explicação passo a passo:

A reversão /sbin/rcvboxdrvpara a versão antiga corrige o problema. Caso a versão antiga do arquivo não esteja mais disponível, aqui está a cópia:
