I have Ubuntu 16.04 and i resolved this problem following this steps:
*I WROTE THIS--> VBoxManage --version
*AND IT SHOW ME THIS-->
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (4.4.0-66-generic) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

       sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

     You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

5.0.34r113845

 *EXECUTE THIS COMMAND--> sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup
 *READY

Welcome guys. For Ubuntu 16.04 I think the solution posted by Alexishermo is the answer. Also please consider checking out Docker as it is much faster and leaner.

hi, I was gettting the same error and tried the solutions listed above.

1. when I tried sudo /sbin/vboxconfig I get follwoing error:
   vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
   vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
   vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
   vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root. If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the
kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.

2. then I tried sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup, getting following error:
   vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
   vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
   vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
   vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.

please help
