#15065 closed defect (duplicate)

"Bad argument setup" error when I run `/sbin/rcvboxdrv setup` as root -> duplicate of #15055

Reported by: adam r Owned by:
Component: host support Version: VirtualBox 5.0.14
Keywords: rcvboxdrv Ubuntu Cc:

Description

After I upgraded the kernel, the VirtualBox, as usual, complained that the VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is not loaded, and I had to execute /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup as root.

Unfortunately, this time, the execution of the rcvboxdrv setup failed with the message "Bad argument setup". I guess this is a regression bug introduced in recent VirtualBox package on Oracle's page.

I guess it is a regression of the .deb package uploaded on the official Oracle Debian repository.

I use Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.16.0-59-generic.

Related to #15055, but on different version of Ubuntu and kernel.

Reverting the previous version of the /sbin/rcvboxdrv fixes this particular the problem, but may introduce other bugs.

The correct link is

/sbin/rcvboxdrv -> /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh

Duplicate of #15055.
