I've installed VirtualBox 6.1.38 with the intent of installing Windows 7 and Win 2K under it, exactly how I did on my old Dell PC. However, when I was trying to install Win 7, VirtualBox would not let me. It gave me the following error message:
???? Before installing Kubuntu 22.04 LTS on this PC, I made sure to go into the BIOS and disable the EFI Secure Boot thing.
I've googled around, trying to find the solution, and I did find a page that suggested doing this on the command line:
However, I think that might be a practical joke. When I look up "pacman" in Muon Package Manager, it's simply a game based on the 1980s classic arcade game. That couldn't possibly be relevant.
As near as I can tell from my googling, I'm missing some kind of Oracle driver. Is that correct? One difference between this PC and the old one is I used Open Java in this one while I installed Oracle Java on the old one. Maybe this Oracle driver got installed somehow on the old PC when I installed Oracle Java?
Or maybe the VirtualBox install from Kubuntu's Discover Software Center was incomplete for some reason, though that is exactly how I installed it on the old PC. Should I uninstall and re-install via some kind of PPA?
But I'm not even sure that's right. If anyone here understands what's going on and could shed some light on how I might fix this, I would be extremely grateful. Thank you so much.
Code:
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please reinstall virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing:
modprobe vboxdrv
as root.
If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetfit, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.
