Error 1908 in Virtual Box

Post by mb535 »

Hello
I have a virtualbox error please help me fix it
The operating system I use is Fedora 36

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.

How did you install Guest Additions? My recent build of Fedora 36 automatically installed virtualbox-guest-additions-6.1.38-1.fc36.x86_64.

What happens when you run

Code: Select all

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
