Here the dmesg output (I will put only errors that apper in red color, if needed more or all info, just ask pls.)

Linux server-hp 4.4.0-22-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 12 22:03:46 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any suggestion to fix this error? virtualbox is installed but can`t use it.

I had the same problem. The solution that worked for me : access the BIOS when booting and disable 'SECURE BOOT'. After that, I could install Oracle VM virtual box 5.0 without any problem.
