Trying to install oracle VM on ubuntu on 16.04 ..It keeps erroring our when start oracle VM:

RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)

The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing

'/sbin/vboxconfig'

may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.

where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user.

You installed a 32-bit version of VirtualBox. That is wrong for your 64-bit system.

Run

sudo apt purge virtualbox-5.1:i386

and install the 64-bit version using dpkg.
