Running Oracle Virtual Box in Fedora 38 Desktop


I have recently installed Oracle VirtualBox on my Fedora 38 machine and added the Kali Linux ISO file. However, when I try to start the Kali Linux operating system, I encounter an error message. To provide better context and assist with troubleshooting, I have captured a screenshot of the error and attached it.


The error prevents me from successfully launching Kali Linux within the Oracle VirtualBox environment. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions to resolve this issue so that I can use Kali Linux seamlessly. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Did you read the error message??? It is VERY clear; you don't have the VirtualBox kernel module loaded, or it's not set up. Did you run vboxconfig as it told you?? Did you follow all the installation instructions (how did you install VirtualBox?)

There are lots of suggestions for this by putting "virtualbox kernel module fedora 38" into a search-engine, with a lot of different things to try; did you do that?? Try anything?? One of them is disabling secure boot in your BIOS.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I installed the virtual box by following the support article that you just referenced. I will do more research on this and if I find any solution I will post it in here.

Thanks

The issue was resolved once I disabled the secure boot option from the BIOS menu

Thanks !
