I've had this exact problem myself and while I can't specifically say what went wrong I've solved it this way:
- uninstall linux-headers-generic (and the version-specific ones) - notice message `dpkg: warning: while removing linux-headers-5.11.0-37-generic, directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.11.0-37-generic' not empty so not removed` - look into /usr/linux/linux-headers-5.11.0-37-generic and realize there's a .config.old file in there - wipe out the directory fully using `sudo rm -Rf /usr/src/linux-headers-5.11.0-37-generic/` - reinstall linux-headers-generic - install virtualbox-dkms Now the modules load correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929442 Title: can't load voboxdrv after upgrade to hirsute 21.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1929442/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
