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.
