vboxclient the virtualbox kernel service is not running

If this appears when you run LL on a real hardware, it is because the script that runs VboxClient, in case when Vbox kernel module isn’t detected sends a notification message.

Fix is next:

Run this in terminal (providing a sudo password)

Code: [Select]

gksudo leafpad /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient

find the line

Code: [Select]

notify-send "VBoxClient: the VirtualBox kernel service is not running.  Exiting."

Now change notify-send to echo

Code: [Select]

echo "VBoxClient: the VirtualBox kernel service is not running.  Exiting."

And save the file.

On next reboot it will not appear again.

Cheers ;)
