Solution 1

This could be caused by the virtualbox kernel modules loaded are not matching the virtualbox client/UI version installed:

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

You can also try to execute vboxreload

Solution 2

You can try to do a clean install of virtualbox with:

sudo dpkg -l | grep virtualbox sudo dpkg --purge

Where are the packages listed by the previous command. Then you can install the new version of virtualbox.

Solution 4

You could try to remove the package virtualbox-dkms and then reinstall virtualbox-dkms:

sudo apt-get autoremove virtualbox-dkms sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-uname -r dkms virtualbox-dkms

Solution 3

Change your Vagrantfile on the virtualbox provider block, add the following line:

eval(ez_write_tag([[336,280],'tutorials_technology-medrectangle-4','ezslot_1',137,'0','0'])); vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--audio", "none"]
