Exactly right. The issue has been there since 10.13 was out, for more than 2 years now. See Installation fails on 10.13.x, 10.14.x (rc=-1908).tsteven4 wrote:The issue seems to be Security and Privacy restrictions from developer "Oracle America, Inc.".
It's not a smart solution, it's a workaround (maybe). It skips over the real problem, and doesn't really go to the bottom of the issue. It lacks analysis, it lack conditions, it lacks reasoning. Just because it's worked in your case, doesn't make it a universal "smart solution".bucknaked wrote:Why I act like that maybe because you suggest to the OP to ignore my straight forward smart solution
Mad? Your solution? I'm sorry, but as they say in my village, "It doesn't compute". I'm not "mad" at all, if there was a solution, I would be "glad". But just because you're magic-dusting and hocus-pocus over a problem, and not seriously trying to understand it, I would politely ask you to let us do the dirty work to understand what's causing this.bucknaked wrote:I don’t care you’re mad you couldn’t think of my solution first, but I sure hope you’re not planning to take the OP through 9 pages of back and forth time wasting discussion just because you’re curious why!
Just because you tried some things, doesn't mean you can't try others. I don't remember you asking for help with that, you just found a magic solution and you think it applies from beef to seafood. Well, it doesn't.bucknaked wrote:You’re repeating all the solutions that used to work before Catalina, I tried them all, they don’t work. Me and the OP have the same issue related to the Catalina upgrade.
If there is no way to do better than the instructions in your link then maybe its time to update the manual with those distasteful but informative instructions, e.g. add them to https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... lation-macsocratis wrote:The issue has been there since 10.13 was out, for more than 2 years now.

I have about 80 tabs open in my browser that are looking for an answer, you're not the only one asking for help, so be patient.paultilling wrote:I have not heard from you
I gave you clear, step-by-step instructions on how to capture the installation log. Also, 'tsteven4' showed you where to go and approve Oracle as a trusted developer. So, 1) Where's the installer log? 2) No matter how many times you keep on repeating the installation, unless you approve Oracle nothing will work.paultilling wrote:I carried out all your instructions, uninstalling the VirtualBox and re-installing a fresh version but it again failed to load.
I'm sorry, but it doesn't get any simpler than that. Maybe call a friend that can help you out?paultilling wrote:I have only just read the contribution by 'tsteven4', which is all well beyond me!

First of all, read the following: User-Approved Kernel Extension Loading.Nov 1 16:29:32 Pauls-Air-2 installd[617]: ./postflight: /Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/VBoxDrv.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) system policy prevents loading; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).
