Title: Fix VirtualBox "Kernel Driver Not Installed (rc=-1908)" Error (Debian & Fedora)

Description:

Having trouble running VirtualBox because of the "Kernel Driver Not Installed (rc=-1908)" error? This video shows you how to fix it on Debian and Fedora based distributions (including Kali Linux)!

What causes this error?

It happens when your system lacks essential modules needed for VirtualBox to communicate with your kernel.

Follow these simple steps to fix it:

Step 1: Close VirtualBox (if it's open) to avoid conflicts.

Install Required Modules:

Debian/Ubuntu:

Open a terminal and run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential module-assistant

Use code with caution.

Fedora:

Open a terminal and run (depending on your Fedora version):

Before Fedora 22:

sudo yum update
sudo yum install build-essential module-assistant

Fedora 22 and later:

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install build-essential module-assistant

OpenSUSE:

sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install build-essential module-assistant

Note: I haven't tested on the fedora and openSuse, But this will be the common procedure. If not, works please let me know
in the comment section !

Step 3: Virtualbox driver setup (Optional) Run

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup (might be deprecated on some systems).

Step 4: Restart VirtualBox services: Run

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

Step 5: Re-launch virtualbox and try to run

Reboot your system (recommended for complete changes to take effect).
