VirtualBox giving "kernel driver not installed" error [duplicate]

kernel virtualbox 20.04

i installed virtualbox (Version 6.1.22 r144080 (Qt5.12.8)) on ubuntu 20.04 focal. after installed virtual box i got this error on lunching VM's.

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
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.

i'm using this code for fix the problem:

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

and get this output:

vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel
for adding new hardware support to the system.
The distribution packages containing the headers are probably:
    linux-headers-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-104-generic

There were problems setting up VirtualBox.  To re-start the set-up process, run
  /sbin/vboxconfig
`as root.  If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may 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.

i have two os. windows10 and ubuntu 20.04 with grub. i'm checking bios option and secure bot is disabled. also checking windows and no problem with boot option in windows. and not installed with UEFI style.

i'm trying to install

linux-headers-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-104-generic

but it got this error:

E: Package 'linux-headers-4.4.0-104-generic' has no installation candidate

how can i fix this problem?

output of uname -r

4.4.0-104-generic

output of dpkg -l | egrep linux-'[g|h|i|m]'

Solution 1:

Make sure your system is fully updated and that old, obsolete, kernel aren't in the way:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove

If no errors are reported then proceed to install what vboxconfig seems to be missing:

sudo apt install build-essential linux-kernel-headers

Finally, it should at this point be able to run the script correctly:

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
