I installed VirtualBox with the RPM from http://virtualbox.org ; but when I tried to setup and run a VM it said that the VirtualBox service was not started (vboxdrv) and told me to sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup; but that failed to install the driver.
What should I do now? Reinstalling the driver through vboxdrv setup isn't working, vbox restart didn't do anything; should I remove VirtualBox and try reinstalling it? If so, how? I'm kinda new to Linux, is there an uninstall utility for Fedora?
Output of vboxdrv setup (abbreviated)
Installing new VirtualBox modules via DKMS [ FAILED ]
(trying without DKMS)
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules [ FAILED ]

Can you expand on it failing? Any errors? – kobaltz – 2012-01-04T23:14:09.563
do you have DKMS installed? (yum install dkms maybe) – kobaltz – 2012-01-04T23:34:33.040
Or you could try to install virtualbox from Fedora's packages if available. yum install virtualbox-ose – kobaltz – 2012-01-04T23:35:29.747
