Yes, the problem is that dkms has to be re-run every day. The module is not remembered across a reboot.

If you re-read the original bug report I stated:

"every day I have to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup because the ubuntu DKMS package is not doing it's job."

"What really happens:
The dkms package does not compile the driver or give access, so every time the machine (HP tx2 1050ed laptop) reboots, the kernel driver has to be compiled manually (at 7 minutes of lost productivity)"

every day
and
every reboot

I thought was enough information. Let me know how I can state this clearer in the future for future bug reports.

Jeff's issue is similar as again the modules are not remembered (deleted is speculation) on reboot across kernels...

But the core bug is... having to run dkms by hand at every reboot.
