Getting Error while running virtual box
I followed the steps given at this website - https://www.if-not-true-then-false.co...
Using fedora 26.
i am getting the following error while running the virtualbox -
The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (4.13.9-200.fc26.x86_64) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
so i have typed the command above and got the following error
vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.
There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run /sbin/vboxconfig as root.
Do you have Secure Mode active on BIOS, if you do that will block not signed kernel modules, so the kernel module will not load. If you are not using Windows will recommend to disable Secure Mode. Since is Fedora will recommend to use kvm and VirtManager instead of VirtualBox, will avoid all those issue and will let you have virtual machines on your Fedora box with no problem. Good Luck.
ok but i am using dual boot windows and fedora, will it cause problem to windows i have installed or not ?
If you have Windows with secure mode installed and you disable it, you will have issues, so you should not do so.
then what will be the solution for that ?
You need to get a signed package of VirtualBox or you can sign it your self, link text look at that
