I typed a very long post explaining how all the process works and as I was doing so, I ran the installation through terminal just to test what would happen. Anyway, past my bed time here, so have a good day or night, catch you later.

I got the impression that it's simply a matter of giving the modules the right access permission which aren't given to them when it installs, which seems the best time to do that.Īlternatively, having VirtualBox 6.0 available for download and install via the Software Store should resolve the issue my son hit. However, looking at what is on the VirtualBox website and what he said, I got the impression that if the 4 listed modules are 'signed' with the proper permissions then it will work, but for me to do that I have do some command line interface work of some sort I don't fully understand and then restart the system. I don't really understand the virtual machine stuff and didn't understand what he said the issue was. My son did the download direct from the VirtualBox website and he had issues with getting VirtualBox to talk nice to the Zorin OS due to it downloading and installing outside of the usual package manager process I got the impression some of the triggers didn t go where the system wanted them and that caused issues.

This needs to be brought to the attention of the developers so the Software Store can be changed back to using VirtualBox 6.0 or the installation code for installing VirtualBox amended to have the Software Store installation process for VirtualBox 6.1 do the required module signing for the user as part of the installation. Since most modern systems now use UEFI and this needs to be done to use VirtualBox 6.1 it's crazy to expect the average user to do what's needed to do the required changes to those modules. See your system documentation for details of the kernel module signing process.

The follow quotes are from the VirtualBox website:ĭownload page: 'Please also use version 6.0 if you need to run VMs with software virtualization, as this has been discontinued in 6.1. On checking this with my son who does a lot of work VirtualBox the problem arises from changes to VirtualBox in vs 6.1.

There is a problem in that the Software Store has available VitualBox 6.1.22 only and this does not work properly with the way it currently installs via the software store.
