Hello, i am trying to install a Windows 7 on virtual box on my Lnux Kali.

When i start VirtualBox i have the following terror...


kali@kali:~$ virtualboxWARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
headers, most likely linux-headers-amd64.


You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.






I try to install the missing packages.

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkmsReading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
virtualbox-dkms is already the newest version (6.1.12-dfsg-3).
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libx265-179
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 784 not upgraded.





But VirtualBox doesnt allow me to setup a vmachine.

Is virtualization disabled in BIOS?
Or
Secure Boot enabled?
