VBoxClient: the VirtualBox kernel service is not running. Exiting - tommykry - 08-26-2016
Hi, i installed LL 2.8 32 bit on a laptop as i couldn't get LL 3.0 to install, everything is great an runs good as this is an older laptop (Acer Aspire 9300)
The only problem is i'm getting this message on boot up: VBoxClient: the VirtualBox kernel service is not running. Exiting
I realize this is not causing any problems but i tried everything from this thread and the message still comes up:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/start-up-and-shutdown/boot-up-msg-vboxclient-the-virtualbox-kernel-service-is-not-running-exiting/
in the advice they said there are 3 vbox files to uninstall in package manager i only found 2 that were checked, i followed all the advice and the messages still pop up on boot up, any help would be appreciated.
Loving linux lite and trying to spread the love on this awesome OS
Thamks,
Tommy

Got it figured out
this seemed to be the culprit:The troubles remained, because there is another file to delete in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient. Only deleting it as root, I finally eliminate the message. I suppose that the truble is connected with deleting wine ochanging it in some way"
From this thread in case anyone ever runs into this.

Misko's solution seem less invasive. To mention an alternative ...
