Hey folks!
Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
I recently installed Oracle VM Virtualbox through the Ubuntu Software app, however processing issues haven't allowed it to open and run at any time.
Now that I'm trying to uninstall though the terminal, this error appears...
sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox-6.1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libqt5opengl5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5x11extras5 libsdl-ttf2.0-0
libsdl1.2debian
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
virtualbox-6.1*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 216 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y

vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.
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.
Errors were encountered while processing:
virtualbox-6.1
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It says config.dat is locked by another process and can't be accessed, however I'm sure there were no other processes running in my computer. But I'm a noob so what would I know.
Nothing has occurred, I still have VirtualBox in my computer.
