Hi Guys,
I recently upgraded my Ubuntu machine to 21.04 and since then, I am not able to start a VM session on VBox.
Attached is the error message I have.
So I followed instruction and tried running /sbin/vboxconfig but did not work.
Then I checked my EFI setting and confirmed that Secure boot is disabled.
So I am not really sure what I should do next...
Below is the 'vbox-setup.log' file content so I would appreciate if someone could guide me towards the next steps.
Let me klnow if you need more information as well.
Thank you in advance !!

Re: Kernel Driver Not installed (rc=1908)
I would try a complete uninstall, then check the headers per the prerequisites https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq then reinstall Virtualbox.

Thank you. It worked !
Sometimes a clean up is what works best ...
