vbox kernel module installtion failed with wrong message

[MrSunilJ]

I am installing virtualbox 6.1 on ubuntu 14.

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

But the secure boot is disabled on the system and I have checked it in BIO's settings and using below command.

Code: Select all

mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot disabled

I believe the new/updated vbox script is not doing validation properly and giving wrong message.
Thanks in advance.

I believe the new/updated vbox script is not doing validation properly and giving wrong message.

Why do you think so? The script output names 4 different steps for you to take, and you'd only reach the 3rd step (Secure Boot), if taking the two steps before didn't solve the problem.

Thanks @fth0. Below are the dmesg logs

capability: warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

error warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use) is warning. So I think it will not impact much. and the other important error "vboxdrv: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel" again pointing to the same point that secure boot is enable on the system.
