Re: Uhhhh... vbox not working on linux fedora 25
I've had a very similar problem with Fedora 25 when I accidentally enabled secure boot in the system bios.
On other distributions there were problems with selinux. You could try installing after disarming it with 'setenforce permissive'.

Yes, Martin is right. Try disabling secure boot in your bios, and if that does not work then set SELinux to permissive or disable it.
Re: Uhhhh... vbox not working on linux fedora 25
I already had SELinux in permissive, but I did check the bios and I was secure booting. Thank you both, and after I stopped secure boot mode I got my virtual box running. If a mod can mark this thread as solved and close it; that concludes my thread.
