Solution 1

This post solves the problem..

Just need to update the kernel

Solution 2

I'm pretty sure you also upgraded your kernel, right? Check the apt-get logs. If yes:

reboot

simple as that. You upgraded your kernel and now you're trying to load a kernel module which is too new for your kernel.

Not that you asked, but: Beware that an echo <password> | .. will be normally saved to your password into ~/.bash_history. This is especially dangerous as you seem to use root login on an publicly accessible server.

have rebooted.. same error

@clarkk To bad. Check you apt log nonetheless. The error indicates, that the kernels module is incompatible with the kernel itself. You could also try to reinstall the kernel.

How to reinstall the kernel (I'm not an expert)

[Sebastian]

You didn't specify your OS (debian/ubuntu?) and system (regular PC/virtual machine/virtual host/raspi..). If ubuntu, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic linux-image. If it doesn't help, we need more info on the error. You can also try to sudo dpkg-reconfigure fuse.
