The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded
by Moniquejor from LinuxQuestions.org on (#515GD)
Hello I am a big newbie !
Ok, I am using PureOs
I installed last virtuabox release and it's being one week I try to launch a VM but I got this error:
PHP Code: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 saw a lot of threads about it, sorry to make another one, I understand a little bit the problems around but because I am a noob, nothing work yet. I don't understand how sign kernel modules.
About secure boot, I am on asus P8H67-M, even I disable secure boot or not in BIOS nothing change.
VBox worked fine on the same pc with ElementaryOs or Ubuntu.
On PureOs terminal :
PHP Code:root@xxxxxx:/home/xxxxxx# virtualbox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (4.19.0-5-amd64) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
PHP Code:root@xxxxx:/home/xxxxx# sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.
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.
Do you want dmesg or something else
Thank a lot for help me, my motivation is to learn linux and computers, I was on windows all my life so I am very ignorant ;=(
