Virtual Box: Error In suplibOsInit

Virtual Box: Specify KERN_DIR=<directory>

Today I was trying to run Oracle Virtual Box when an error occured.

This is a step by step guide for me to use, as it worked for me.

Virtual Box Error

I Ran: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and got another error:

when I went to /var/log/vbox-install.log I got this error:
Makefile:183: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop.

To fix this error I told my package Manager to install kernel-devel, make, gcc,  gcc-c++, kernel-source, kernel-syms

I used the command "zypper install make gcc  gcc-c++ kernel-source kernel-syms"
The install was about 400MB.

try running "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup"

I added my user to the vboxgroup (and it still was not working). <<== Need to check this name

Then I uninstalled everything with virtual box, "zypper rm virt*"

a Nice command was "zypper search virt*"
What I saw from running that was there were many different Virtual Box Applications, and I wanted the oracle one, which was not the basic VirtualBox.

I re-installed Oracle VirtualBox with "zypper install virtualboc-qt"

and then it worked. (Not to sure what the cause of the problem was.)

Remember also add yourself to the vbox user group
