Can't Boot Kali Linux on VBox Ubuntu 16.04

Post by ivan2836 »

Hello, I've been trying to boot my Kali instance, but it gives me this error message. so I press "Copy", and this is on my clipboard
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Kali.

The virtual machine 'Kali' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {f30138d4-e5ea-4b3a-8858-a059de4c93fd}
Anyways, then it opens another window saying
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please install virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing

'modprobe vboxdrv'

as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.
I then type in the command line

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe vboxdrv
Then after I type my password, this happens
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Required key not available
I don't know what to do, every attempt of help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
