But if something works in 15.10 and breaks in 16.04 LTS, then it can be considered a bug :) it does not seem a bug, but a policy; see

It complains that 'vboxdrv' isn't loaded. So I try to load it and get the following error: $ sudo modprobe vboxdrv modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Required key not available There are some solutions which require signing the modules locally. But, why did virtualbox break on upgrade? I installed the new kernel sources, dpkg-reconfigured virtualbox-dkms package, but still get the same error. Please let me know if you need additional logs/info Thanks.
