Virtualbox: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

[nicrnicr]

Hello everybody,
I get the messages

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please reinstall virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing

'modprobe vboxdrv'

as root.

If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.

Please reinstall virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing 'modprobe vboxdrv'

So, you did the first part, but did you do the second? sudo modprobe vboxdrv

Thank you Snowhog for your answer.

There is written that I should show you the log, but I'm not allowed to upload the file and if I copy it I need 3 posts to show it as it is very long.
