Error: Building the main VirtualBox module.

[felix_c]

hi. i try installed vbox 7.0 from apt tool with repo configured and when it building the main module i get error that say:

vboxdrv.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vbox-setup.log to find out what went wrong.

There were problems setting up VirtualBox.  To re-start the set-up process, run
  /sbin/vboxconfig
as root.  If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may 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.

The content of file "/var/log/vbox-setup.log" is this:

My OS it's LMDE 5, kernel version it's 5.10.0-23 and EFI Secure Boot it's enble.

any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Luego de la actualizacion del kernel a 5.10.191-1 y "signing" los módulos logre instalar VBox7 sin problemas.

Hi felix_c,

It looks like misconfigured build environment to me at first sight. Which APT repo do you use and which Linux distribution?
