If this is the version that you get SUN (I think it is based on the screenshot), all you have to do is open a terminal (Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal) and then run the following:``` sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

was it just a kernal update?Yeah... it was just a kernel update. The SUN version will usually detect and install the proper module when you first install VirtualBox. But when there is a kernel update, you'll have to rebuild the module. Fortunately, they give you a pretty easy way to do it, once you know the magic. (BTW, next time you can leave out the part about installing build-essential now that you've got it on your system .... just remember to install it again if you ever reinstall your system.)
