Public bug reported:
After a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat). The latest
VirtualBox 7.0.18 will not run without signed kernel modules.
1. Reboot into BIOS and disable secureboot (not recommended for security
reasons)
2. Install pre-requisites and dependencies
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install dkms libsdl-ttf2.0-0 build-essential dpkg-dev gcc -y
3. Run sudo apt-get install virtualbox (FYI. Installs version 7.0.16 instead of
7.0.18 as of 5/8/24 from apt-get)
4. virtualbox (application launches and VM's can load and launch
5. sudo init 0 and reboot the machine into BIOS and re-enable SecureBoot and
log back in.
6. Launch a VM and it throws this error:
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, 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.
7. Marathon of attempts to reinstall virtualbox-dkms (already installed).
Attempts to sign keys with mokutil ssl.
8. I got zilch...anyone else that can help? AI and Google just is not cutting
it on this one...
Missing dependencies after running: sudo apt install ./virtualbox* (latest
version)
sudo apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-0
and it's whining about libvpx7 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) comes with libvpx9
also attempted to reload everything:
sudo -i (I know...I know...yadda yadda) I ran as root (just tired of the
problem)
dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms
dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox
modprobe vboxdrv
Error persists: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Key was
rejected by service
