Unable to install virtualbox-dkms

[Rahul91]

I am trying to run vagrant in scaleway server, while I am able to install virtualbox and vagrant via apt-get, I get the following error when installing virtualbox-dkms

root@scalewayIP:~# apt-get install virtualbox-dkms Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package virtualbox-dkms

I also found this open issue apt-get --reinstall install linux-headers-uname -r fails related to dkms. Feature Request : I should be able to do this out of the box without changing bootscript or doing any tweak.

Hi @Rahul91,

I successfuly built other DKMS modules using the default bootscript by preparing my server with these steps: https://github.com/scaleway/kernel-tools#how-to-build-a-custom-kernel-module

Can you try to prepare your server for DKMS and run your last apt-get command again ?

Hi moul,

I followed the steps mentioned in https://gist.github.com/Rahul91/f051a391fac62ccebb581370b0ac644d script, but could not install virtualbox-dkms using apt-get afterwards

Here is my gist. Please check if I am doing anything wrong.

Which kernel version are you targeting?
