I'm trying to run VirtualBox in Linux Mint but I keep getting an error message about Kernel drivers.
(lemmy.ml)
I tried looking into this myself but I couldn't really find much about this error. The only solutions I could find didn't work for me. The first one was to use mokutil but at the point where I was supposed to run sudo mokutil --import MOK.der it gives me the error message "Failed to get file status, MOK.der" even though I did everything it told me to do. The other one was to disable secure boot and then run sudo '/sbin/vboxconfig' but even though it looked like it worked, I'm still getting the error message. I have re-enabled secure boot, so you don't have to worry about that.
Is there something else I can try or does VirtualBox not work in Linux Mint for some reason?
I tried both virt-manager and Gnome Boxes but I'm having issues with both of them.
Gnome Boxes works mostly fine but I can't seem to get files from the host to the guest. It says that the guest is supposed to have some special software but I'm trying to use Windows XP and I can't seem to figure out how to get the required software because the website doesn't work in internet explorer and I obviously can't just download it from the host and transfer it over.
For virt-manager, it's giving me an error message about not being able to connect to "libvirt qemu:///system" and it wont let me install a virtual machine. I'm assuming that I'm supposed to download "libvirtd", but I can't figure out how to install it. I think it wants me to build it from the source but there doesn't seem to be a guide on how to do that.
That sounds like virtio-win. I usually use the iso and mount it from virt-manager, but if the internet is working then I guess you can download the exe.
Just searched it up, something like this should work:
sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virtinst libvirt-daemonSorry I don't have too much experience with gnome boxes either, I mostly use virt-manager.
