Virtual Box - Failed to open/create the internal network


I got this error message after upgrading Ubuntu 11.04 with only-God-knows which sort of update.  You solve it by running these 2 commands on Terminal:


  1. sudo modprobe vboxnetflt
  2. sudo modprobe vboxdrv


Failed to open a session for the virtual machine XXX.


Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth1' (you might need to modprobe vboxnetflt to make it accesible) (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).


Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

    I finally fixed this for good on Ubuntu 11.04 by re-installing Virtual Box and running this command:


    sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
