    Boot Errors

    Hi! Just noticed while booting up today some errors, but I don't know how to fix any of them. I executed systemctl --failed as root user, and got this output.

    Code:
    UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
● apport-autoreport.service loaded failed failed Process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled
● atop.service loaded failed failed Atop advanced performance monitor
● clamav-daemon.service loaded failed failed Clam AntiVirus userspace daemon
● clamav-freshclam.service loaded failed failed ClamAV virus database updater
● [EMAIL="postfix@-.service"]postfix@-.service[/EMAIL] loaded failed failed Postfix Mail Transport Agent (instance -)
● virtualbox.service loaded failed failed LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module
    Turns out the apport one is just becase i didn't have error reporting activated.

    pursuing the atop failure, i came up with :

    Code:
    $ systemctl status atop.service

    I have no idea how to fix this stuff, so thank you for taking a look whoever you may be!

      IMO, Clamav you don't need unless you're hosting an email server that will have windows users. It probably failed because postfix failed.

      atop is also not a mandatory thing, This gives a clue: Jun 06 15:37:54 AmigaBuntu find[30402]: /usr/bin/find: ‘/var/log/atop’: No such file or directory

      Virtualbox requires a DKMS kernel module to be built. The error here seems clear. Check the output of "dkms status" and make sure the module is built for the kernel you're using.

      apport-autoreport.service is also not needed and has been reported to have a a security flaw.

        Well, I did manage to fix the majority of errors, for example atop needed me to make a directory, and same with clamav. the only one i am currently having trouble with is the virtualbox one. I do have all the appropriate things installed, the issue seems to be that secure boot requires me to sign the vboxdrv kernal module and i am not sure how to go about doing that.

        Thanks for the reply.

        My current issues according to journalctl

        Code:

        As requested here is my dkms status

        dkms status

        ​Thank you for taking the time to examine and reply.

          Are you dual booting with windows? Try disabling secure boot.
