VirtualBox not detected on Fedora #534

re version 0.99.1.2

I have installed VirtualBox 6.1 on Fedora. VBoxManage is available in the PATH. But the script reports I should install VirtualBox.

Ok, got it.

Solution was to run VBoxManage -v in the shell.

I then got the message:

         available for the current kernel (5.13.19-200.fc34.x86_64) or it failed to
         load. Please try load the kernel module by executing as root

           dnf install akmod-VirtualBox kernel-devel-5.13.19-200.fc34.x86_64
           akmods --kernels 5.13.19-200.fc34.x86_64 && systemctl restart vboxdrv.service

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

I implemented the instructions, and the issue was solved.

I keep this issue here open as a suggestion to probe for this kind of error within the script.
