VirtualBox installation problem on Ubuntu 20.10

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please try setting it up again by executing

'/sbin/vboxconfig'

as root.

If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

Is there any solution to this problem? the sudo /sbin/vboxconfig command isnt working too, also my system is not using EFI Secure Boot. Thanks

If you have recently received a kernel update, then you may need to reinstall the virtualbox-dkms package:

sudo apt install virtualbox-dkms --reinstall

Once installed, verify the kernel module is active with:

sudo modprobe vboxdrv

Hope this helps.

I have solved this issue by doing following on ubuntu 20.04:

Method 1: sudo apt-get install virtualbox Method 2: install software center (the software center is not loading by default on my computer), and install virtualbox from there.

However, no matter what, Error occurs “Failed to start LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module”

Solution: found from :

1. sudo reboot
2. Choose Enroll MOK » Continue » Yes » Enter Password (you have set earlier) » Reboot.
