Recompiling vbox kernel modules crashes kmix

[Quaxo76]

Hello, I have an up-to-date Kubuntu Intrepid distro. I have the latest Virtualbox (2.0.6, upgraded from 2.0.4). In trying to fix the "non-connecting iPod" problem, I tried to recompile the kernel modules:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

The procedure seems to work correctly, but every time, after the recompiling completes, kmix crashes:

kmix(10983) Mixer::openIfValid: Mixer::open() detected master:  "PCM:0"
ASSERT: "dev->backendObject()==0" in file /build/buildd/kde4libs-4.1.3/solid/solid/devicemanager.cpp, line 164
KCrash: Application 'kmix' crashing...
sock_file=/home/cristian/.kde/socket-CriLaptop/kdeinit4__0

I can subsequently restart kmix without problems. This is reproducible every time. Anyone knows what's going on? I couldn't find any other posts on the subject...

Thanks in advance, Cristian

Strange. Actually, /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup does

• unload the current kernel modules
• recompile the kernel modules
• load the new kernel modules

Please could you check if

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv stop

crashes kmix? If not, does

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv start

crash kmix? Do you have enough free disk space on the /tmp partition?
