Moved to virtualization as a more appropriate sub-forum.
I'm sure there are those who would be quite willing to help, but you have not articulated a question.

It has been many years since I used Virtualbox (I use the built-in KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) in the kernel itself), but I think you need to install build-essential and dkms at the very least. Add linux-headers for good measure. Probably already have it, but you will be told if you do.
Did you install via the instructions here or from the Ubuntu repositories? Because of Oracle's licensing, certain parts of Virtualbox cannot be made available through any distribution's repositories. You have to add them from Oracle's site anyway, so might as well get it clean from the start.
I would suggest installing the following via the command line:
and then downloading and installing from Oracle's site.Code:sudo apt install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms

should i also disable secure boot?

You have to disable secure boot or sign a security key before you can install build-essential dkms, it is much easier to disable it.

thx yall i was able to do the QIII and it did a bunch of stuff lol. And yes wildmanne39 i was able to disable secureboot. Now once the headers are installed should i try again or should i delete virtualbox and then download again?
