![]() Other interesting changes in VirtualBox 6.0.10: Related: VirtualBox Guest Additions Installation In Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Fedora And openSUSE ![]() He also suggests anyone who wants this fixed for other Linux distributions to ask the distribution to provide a mechanism they can use.

Of course, it is hard to say for sure, just as it is hard to say for sure how much security benefit signing modules even provides, particularly on a desktop system. Part of the problem is that any automatic way to sign kernel modules is probably only marginally safer than disabling signing altogether. ![]() ![]() With the latest 6.0.10 release though, VirtualBox supports UEFI Secure Boot driver signing on Ubuntu and Debian 10+ hosts, so users no longer need to manually sign the vbox kernel modules, or disable secure boot in order to run virtual machines. VirtualBox is a x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization software that runs on Windows, Linux, macOS and Solaris, and supports a large number of guest operating systems, including Windows Linux, Solaris, OpenSolaris, OS/2 and OpenBSD.Ī VirtualBox bug about secure boot driver signing not working on Linux was opened 6 years ago, and it has yet to be marked as completely fixed. VirtualBox 6.0.10 was released today, and while this is a maintenance release, with mostly bug fixes, it does come with an important addition: support for UEFI secure boot driver signing on Ubuntu and Debian 10+ hosts. ![]()
