VirtualBox error : kernel driver not installed(rc=-1908) [closed]
Thought I'd give my 2 cents for those who use MACs
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-dkms
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms

ps. I have this issue everytime I get a Linux kernel update in Ubuntu. The instructions that it gives do not work for me but these two commands work everytime. It would be nice if everytime I got a kernel update these two commands would automatically run afterwards...
I have a solution that works for MacOS users:
-
You have to restart your system and press Command (⌘) + R during the loading. It will start the Recovery mode.
-
Now that you're on the Recovery Mode, click on Utilities (top bar) and Terminal.
-
You have your terminal opened? Enter, it will add Oracle in the authorisation list to access the kernel.
spctl kext-consent add VB5E2TV963
-
Restart again.
You're welcome.
