I tried installing Virtualbox in Ubuntu 16.04 with the command sudo apt install virtualbox-5.1 but it gives the following error.

$ virtualbox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
        available for the current kernel (4.4.0-171-generic) or it failed to
        load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

          sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

        You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
VirtualBox: Error -610 in supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime!
VirtualBox: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxRT.so",) failed: <NULL>

VirtualBox: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox.

I tried solving the error from multiple sites but still no avail.

  • did you run sudo /sbin/vboxconfig on the terminal? What was the output? – Parto Jan 20 '20 at 13:32
  • Are you using secure boot? If so you may have to sign the VBox driver with your MOK or disable secure boot. See here – xenoid Jan 20 '20 at 14:32
  • When I ran sudo /sbin/vboxconfig this is what I got: 
    vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong.

There were problems setting up VirtualBox.  To re-start the set-up process, run
  /sbin/vboxconfig
as root.

  • Okay, post the contents of /var/log/vbox-install.log and I will have a look. You can paste them on https://paste.ubuntu.com and share the link here. – Parto Jan 20 '20 at 20:34
  • Okay @Parto done so here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/t7bM4sgKGH/. Thanks for your response! – Shruti Dixit Jan 22 '20 at 13:35
