modprobe vboxguest failed

Hiall.
I have Ubuntu 19.10 with Kernel 5.3.0-42-generic. I've installed virtualbox 6 and the extension pack successfully. Now I need to install the VirtualBox guest addition but I got the following error after running the addition

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

modprobe vboxguest failed
The log file /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log may contain further information.



Any idea how to fix this?
I red other posts to sign the modules cause I have the UEFI boot.... tried that but still no fix.
Ideas?

hi ....anyone on this issue?

I personally haven't posted because I have no idea how to fix it. Have you tried the last line in your posted error message, or googling various parts of the error message with the "site:forums.virtualbox.org" restriction term added to your search?

Hi there... yes I've tried different things even signing up the module as I have the UEFI set on my laptop....
but nothing changed

Cheers
