Bug Description
I upgrade from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04 and since then VirtualBox 5.0.18 isn't starting my VMs anymore. 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.
