On running Virtual Box I get this message??
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (5.5.13-200.fc31.x86_64) or it failed to load. Please try load the kernel module by executing as root
dnf install akmod-VirtualBox kernel-devel-5.5.13-200.fc31.x86_64 akmods --kernels 5.5.13-200.fc31.x86_64 && systemctl restart > systemd-modules-load.service
I do the recommended options. dnf packages are already installed The akmods builds the moduals, and they are in the location But restarting the systemd-modules-load results in error.
Does a simple "modprobe vboxdrv" also fails ?
What gives: modinfo vboxdrv
# modprobe vboxdrv modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Operation not permitted
# modinfo vboxdrv filename: /lib/modules/5.5.13-200.fc31.x86_64/extra/VirtualBox/vboxdrv.ko version: 6.1.4_RPMFusion r136177 (0x002d0001) license: GPL description: Oracle VM VirtualBox Support Driver author: Oracle Corporation srcversion: 1339FC9C1EAAA355E78EDA5 depends: retpoline: Y name: vboxdrv vermagic: 5.5.13-200.fc31.x86_64 SMP mod_unload parm: force_async_tsc:force the asynchronous TSC mode (int)
Also, double check that the modules have been build with:
dnf list installed kmod-VirtualBox*
dnf list installed kmod-VirtualBox* Installed Packages kmod-VirtualBox.x86_64 6.1.4-3.fc31 @rpmfusion-free-updates kmod-VirtualBox-5.5.13-200.fc31.x86_64.x86_64 6.1.4-3.fc31 @@commandline
On exact same machine with Fedora 29, this was working. This is a clean install on a new hard disk. Any ideals?
With Fedora 31 you have newer kernels: the Virtualbox sources may become incompatile with them.

Thanks. Don't know if that gives any more info.
