Oracle VM no longer works after last OS Update. Version 9.4

The whole message:

Blockquote
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please try setting it up again by executing

‘/sbin/vboxconfig’ <<< doesn’t fix anythiing

as root.

If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system’s documentation for more information.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

Did you install the kernel-devel package?
Alternative, try to install the ‘All distributions’ installer Linux_Downloads – Oracle VM VirtualBox - this is what I am using all of the time.

I must have notifications turned off !
I was not aware of all the comments and suggestions.
Anyway, the issue is fixed and sadly I can’t remember which of the different thing that I tried actually fixed.

Sorry and thank you for the replies.
Hopefully they will be helpful to some one else.

Well, this happened again but I know the cause.
In the BIOS, Virtualization must be enabled.

I found vitrualbox to be useless (1 frame every few seconds) if you are using Wayland. I’d be interesting if you can make it work.
