problem with VirtualBox

[Mahmoud Darweash]

Actually using sudo here may not fix the problem :( this problem because the
virtual box needs to compile a module for the kernel. And to compile it u
need to be installing your linux headers. i don't know whether you know how
to install them or not ...but i'll give you the steps :)

*#1*

you need to know your kernel release which can be easily known by typing
this command

uname -r

mine is *2.6.32-25-generic-pae*

*#2*

goto synaptics package manger (System --> Administartion --> Synaptics)

you should find a package with the name *linux-headers-2.6.xx-xx  *according
to your kernel release. mine is *linux-headers-2.6.32-25-generic-pae*

just install this package, and re isntall Virtual box from synaptics :)

ISA, this will solve your problem

Keep Me Updated :)
