Let's eliminate the usual culprit first: Disable Secure Boot in UEFI. It prevents loading the (unsigned) virtual drivers.
If this isn't the problem then probably you need to reinstall Virtualbox.
Thanks CelticWarrior
To restart everything I tried to reinstall Virtualbox...
First I tried to remove the old Virtualbox with this command:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
Then starting from the downloaded folder I gave the command:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i virtualbox*.deb
but now it gave me back this error:
Code:
