Yes but I am not sure that I did it correctly.

 

I am a linux noob. I installed Ubuntu to learn LINUX. Can you help me fixing this.

Did you do modprobe vboxdrv or sudo modprobe vboxdrv?

You need to install the kernel headers before you run modprobe.

sudo apt-get install linux-headers
dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms

You need the virtualbox-dkms package. Use `sudo apt install virtualbox-dkms` and it should get virtualbox working. I've never had to do anything with `modprobe` to get virtualbox working. Also, if for some reason the linux headers aren't pulled in as a dependency and you need them to be installed separately, use `sudo apt install linux-headers-4.8.0-36-generic`. You have the 4.8.0-36-generic kernel, so the header files should match that.
