Description

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.4 and mainline kernel 5.7.8-050708-generic (installed with UKUU)

When installing Virtualbox: sudo ./VirtualBox-6.1.12-139181-Linux_amd64.run

I get the following errors: At main.c:281:

  • SSL error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory: ../crypto/bio/bss_file.c:72
  • SSL error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file: ../crypto/bio/bss_file.c:79

kmodsign: /lib/modules/5.7.8-050708-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko: No such file or directory At main.c:281:

  • SSL error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file: ../crypto/bio/bss_file.c:79

kmodsign: /lib/modules/5.7.8-050708-generic/misc/vboxnetadp.ko: No such file or directory vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed.

I can run VirtualBox. However, when I try to run a guest, I receive this message: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig fails and gives the same output to the terminal as the installer.

There are no errors in /var/log/vbox-install.log and no errors in /var/log/vbox-setup.log.

The kernel modules do not work because they are installed in the wrong directory. The installer puts them in: /lib/modules/5.7.8/misc (which is incorrect) The installer also puts the follow 0 byte files which do not work in /lib/modules/5.7.8-050708-generic/misc/ (which is the correct directory for the modules): -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 Jul 15 20:02 vboxdrv.ko.~signed~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 Jul 15 20:02 vboxnetadp.ko.~signed~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 Jul 15 20:02 vboxnetflt.ko.~signed~

I can fix this by issuing these commands: sudo rm /lib/modules/5.7.8-050708-generic/misc/vboxnetflt.ko.~signed~ sudo rm /lib/modules/5.7.8-050708-generic/misc/vboxnetadp.ko.~signed~ sudo rm /lib/modules/5.7.8-050708-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko.~signed~ sudo mv /lib/modules/5.7.8/misc/* /lib/modules/5.7.8-050708-generic/misc/ sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/5.7.8 Then I reboot.

Then VirtualBox and guests run properly.
