Does a simple "modprobe vboxdrv" also fails ?

What gives: modinfo vboxdrv


# modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Operation not permitted

Do you have secure boot enabled?  If you do, you can't use self-compiled
modules unless you add a key to the EFI key storage.

The old hard disk was not EFI setup, but this clean install did do and EFI
setup? So, didn't change any settings in bios about secure boot, but
perhaps it was set, and didn't matter since it was non-EFI.
How would one add an EFI key??
Currently accessing machine remotely, so hard to check the BIOS.

Look up "mokutil". You would have to sign the kernel module with your key. And you need physical access to the computer to enroll the key. Secure boot is enabled by default in EFI systems. Your easiest solution would be to get to the computer or get someone else to disable secure boot in the BIOS. The best solution would be to switch to kvm, especially if you can't get physical access.
