Not that I had set out or wanted to deal with this right now, but boom, it’s done!Īlright, but if you fall into this with MacOS, it’s a slightly different story. Ugh! But hey, in the process I now understand a little bit more about secure boot, current BIOS’s, and related hardware concerns. Stegard then adds two very important links with pertinent information about this issue, I’ve reposted here too:Īfter going through Øyvind‘s steps, I finally got the previously specified command from above. Ubuntu does not sign the third party vbox* kernel modules, but rather gives the user the option to disable Secure Boot upon installation of the virtualbox package.” “The problem is the requirement that all kernel modules must be signed by a key trusted by the UEFI system, otherwise loading will fail. He states at the start of the blog entry, I did another search and found Øyvind Stegard’s blog entry on fixing the “ VirtualBox + Secure Boot = Fail“. Ok, so all this at this point I ran VirtualBox after the installation, it installed according to the standard directories this time but still didn’t work. This installs Virtual Box through the Ubuntu App Store application but sets up the more up to date repository to get the installation from. There I downloaded the latest version and installed it via the downloadable Ubuntu *.deb file. Next I navigated back out the Virtual Box Download page. Next I uninstalled this old version via the Ubuntu App Store Application. This is clearly not going to work out well because the latest version is 6.0.4 right now. The results pointed out that my install of Virtual Box, done via the Ubuntu App Store, was version 5.2.8. That gave me “ sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found“. That went well, so on to the next step of building the virtualbox kernel driver. Sudo apt-get install build-essential module-assistant The first post I found seemed to make sense. I got some additional errors that seemed nonsensical.Īt this point I dug into the search engine.
Linuxįor this particular situation I tried the command given in the dialog modprobe vboxdrv to see if that would fix it. First however, let’s talk about the Linux fix. Upon researching I found this could occur on multiple operating systems really, and have included the fixes for the various platforms. Where: sublibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) – The support driver is not installed. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv.
When trying to open these existing virtual machines I’ve gotten the following error: My recent issue is re-opening some virtual machines, originally created on Windows 10, and now with intent to use them on Linux. Alright, nothing like multi-OS environments so you can prepare for the maximum number of issues that might come up.
