Linux Help

Tried to start a virtual copy of Win7 in VirtualBox but got the following message.

 

Any suggestions on how to fix.

 

Thanks

 

Brian

Re: Linux Help

Yes - ask on either the VB support, or a Linux board.

Re: Linux Help

@bmc 

has your linux system updated ?

linux normally rebuilds additional kernel drivers e.g vboxdrv automatically after a kernel update using the dkms system.

However, if you have secure boot enabled , they will also need to be re-signed which is a manual operation.
