External Driver Error on Fedora 36

Post by fora1 »

Trying to run ova 's on VirtualBox. Keep getting error.

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please try setting it up again by executing

'/sbin/vboxconfig'

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.

Know what to do? I've tried upgrade and all sorts of things but they all fail

Check the download area again, Fedora 36 has its own download now.

Also, Virtualbox on Linux has prerequisites, see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq

This was the unsigned Fedora version with 636 in the title.

I don't know if I have Qt 5.3.2 or SDL 1.2.7 or later.
