Kernel driver not accessible

Post by Compileplspls »

Hello guys, when I try to power up my machine I get this error (attachment 1). I can fix it by doing " sudo ./VirtualBox " however if I do that I get a lot of display issues (everything else works great but its pretty much unusable https://imgur.com/qDJj27Y ) :( . I have made sure that I have write and read acces in /dev/ however its still not working. Does anyone know how to fix my issue?

Edit: This isn't an april fool's joke, I am just very bad at those things, I beg for your help.

Yo gamers, I managed to solve it. Looking back at the post I forgot to give my OS - its Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS. The solution is: disable virtualization for CPU in BIOS, try to run it (will give an error stating virtualization needs to be enabled), enable virtualization and then it all works. I have absolutely no idea why it fixes my issue but it did.
