Unable to complete 5.8.0 kernel install - Ubuntu 20.04

**bigverm23** · November 17th, 2020

Seems dkms is failing to to build in certain modules during a kernel update from 5.6 to 5.8, but I've tried multiple kernels updates. 5.6 is as high as I can go. Make.log shown below (cant attach)

Code:

I think you need Virtualbox 6.1.14 to do that

I thought you might be right, so I installed virtualbox 6.1.16. Still getting failures on any kernel now above 5.7.19. Interesting because I'm now on 6.1.16 but but the build is referencing a 6.1.10 folder

"make ...KERNELRELEASE=5.8.18-XXXXXX-generic -C /lib/modules/5.8.18-xxxxxx-generic/build M=/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/6.1.10/build...(bad exit status: 2)
ERROR kernel package linux-headers-5.8.18-050818-generic is not supported"

@bigverm23, if you want to post an image, use the paperclip icon in the advanced editor to upload an image to the forum server. I'll leave your apparently blank post in situ until you either acknowledge this, or post an uploaded image. Your post is blank because it contains a mass of base64 code, which the forum software won't display. You get base64 code when you drag and drop an image into the editor. That will never work. Use the paperclip icon to access the attachment manager.

Perhaps some Virtualbox extension.
I Installed on this machine and it worked.Got some Virtualbox error message, but Ubuntu hirsute installed after I closed the message.
