Completely Remove All VirtualBox Setup/Packages and Folders from Linux Mint
If we are installing virtual box after linux mint update, we might see error "The VirtualBox Kernel Modules Do Not Match This Version of VirtualBox" or rc=-1912.
This might happen due to conflicts with prior installed packages before upgrade.
Steps:
1. Check the packages which are installed for virtualbox.
himanshu@himanshu-LIFEBOOK-A555 ~ $ dpkg -l | grep virtualbox
rc virtualbox 5.2.34-dfsg-0~ubuntu18.04.1 amd64 x86 virtualization solution - base binaries
rc virtualbox-5.2 5.2.22-126460~Ubuntu~xenial amd64 Oracle VM VirtualBox
