Hello @Jil

required package `kernel-devel gcc `

you can run

`sudo /sbin/vboxconfig`

and it will report if there any missing package

it will also till you if you need to sign your kernal

required command to sign your kernal which will also given from the previous command

```auto
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/shim-signed/mok
sudo openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -outform DER -addext "extendedKeyUsage=codeSigning" -keyout /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.priv -out /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der
sudo mokutil --import /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der

```

reboot your system then enroll the key

it also recommended to add the user that you run the virtualbox from to vboxusers group as it does not detect usb if you did not

`sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers <username>`

Edit :

rerun `sudo /sbin/vboxconfig` again after install the dependacy or enroll the key and after virtualbox update or kernel update

hope that help and have a nice day 🙂
