I removed traces of Virtualbox and reinstalled Virtualbox 5.1 from the website. However, I keep getting this error message.

enter image description here

I don't know what else I can possibly do and I already ran /sbin/vboxconfig and that ran with no problems. So I don't see why I'm still getting this error message. Can someone help?

Currently this is what I get

yann@Milvia:~$ dpkg -l *virtualbox* | grep ii

  • From the `terminal`, show me the output of `dpkg -l *virtualbox* | grep ii` – heynnema Feb 14 '17 at 00:08
  • `ii virtualbox-5.1 5.1.14-112924~Ubuntu~xenial amd64 Oracle VM VirtualBox` – Kashif Feb 14 '17 at 00:26
  • How did you "removed traces of Virtualbox". Did you use the standard methods of uninstalling software, or did you manually go-a-hunting? Your error suggests that there's more VB software than just the 5.1.14 that you're showing. Show me the full output of `dpkg -l *virtualbox*` and `dkms status`, and edit the output into your question, not in comments. – heynnema Feb 14 '17 at 00:53
  • Okay updated the question. – Kashif Feb 14 '17 at 01:14
  • Do `sudo dpkg -P virtualbox-qt` and then `dpkg -l *virtualbox*` and make sure that the "rc" changes to a "un" on the virtualbox-qt line. Then test and see if you still have that error. – heynnema Feb 14 '17 at 01:27
  • ps: you also have two `dkms` problems... "(WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!)". Start a new question for that, and include the `dkms status` command output. – heynnema Feb 14 '17 at 01:30
  • Still getting the same error when I run virtualbox. – Kashif Feb 14 '17 at 02:15
  • How did you remove older/other versions of VB? Update your `dpkg -l *virtualbox*` in your question. – heynnema Feb 14 '17 at 02:23
  • ps: did you install the latest VB Expansion Pack in VB 5.1.14? – heynnema Feb 14 '17 at 02:25
