Is this host a server or does it have a DT? Is the VirtualBox icon showing up in the DT launcher and does it start the VirtualBox main manager? Have you rebooted the host after the install?

How do I know the host is server or desktop because PC came with installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I don't know what do you mean by DT please?
When I types virtualbox in the command prompt noting comes up and it shows an icon (probably it is icon of virtualbox) in the left hand side icons tray. To close it, I have to right click on this icon and clicks on quit.

Open a terminal and type the following and post the results here:
Also you never mentioned
- 1) whether or not you rebooted the PC after you installed VirtualBox.
2) if the VirtualBox icon actually shows in the applications.
Please read my posts and answer all questions or this is going to be a lengthy process.

Your post shows the modules are loaded so now we need to look deeper. Post the following:

You could have zipped it, but it's OK, the error is shown in the last part in any event...

I believe that you have enabled secure boot and VirtualBox does not support signed modules. See
ticket #17206 for example:
That is something that we do not currently support, so you will need to either disable it or take care of it yourself.
which translates to 1) disable secure boot, or 2) sign the modules yourself.

Naw there was no cat missing. I wanted you to post the file ( compressed if too large otherwise ), but as socratis pointed out the results you posted were enough to tell the cause and solution.
Note: the reason for this is we do not have access to the OS signing keys and until that gets worked out with various different distros you need to handle this yourself.

You are right, what you said in fact was (emphasis mine):

After disabling secure boot (deleted PK key only) in BIOS I removed existing virtualbox by
sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox*
it got done.
Then again I reinstalled by :
sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-5.2_5.2.0-118431~Ubuntu~xenial_amd64.deb
restarted PC.
But nothing is coming up. No error message, only Virtualbox icon appears in applications list which is showing in left hand side (I don't know what is this name or calling)
