[near yacht]

[near yacht]

What kernel? Result from terminal for uname -r

[desert mulch]

6.17.0-19-generic

[near yacht]

mokutil --sb

[desert mulch]

did that

what now?

[near yacht]

What did it respond with?

[desert mulch]

xxx@xxxx-Aspire-A314-22:~$ mokutil --sb
SecureBoot enabled

[near yacht]

Reboot, go into BIOS and disable Secure Boot, that should allow the kernel drivers to load

[desert mulch]

i get stuck on this part

and can’t go upwards to secure boot

[near yacht]

What result from terminal for dkms status

[desert mulch]

See https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=424779 and go to Nvidia Graphics Troubleshooting Tips
Click this line to expand or contract the Nvidia Graphics Troubleshooting Tips. And see if using mokutil to sign things makes it work

[desert mulch]

i dont have nvidia

[near yacht]

It is the enrolling the Mint signing key into MOK that is important, it should bypass Secure Boot

[desert mulch]

i have no clue what to do here lol

[near yacht]

Secure Boot prevents unsigned modules from loading, but using mokutil use can enroll the Mint key and bypass Secure Boot and it is the same for any module, whether nvidia or something for virtualbox

[desert mulch]

so what exactly do i do here then

[near yacht]

Do sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key

you will be prompted for a password. You will need to use that password the next time you boot so the key is enrolled, but that will be the only time you need the password.
When you boot the next time, make sure to select to Enroll Key (so you can enter your password) and do not select Continue Booting.
If you are on a screen with an <Ok> button and you cannot click it and pressing Enter does not work, press the tab key to access the <Ok> button.

[desert mulch]

i did that

now what

sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key
[sudo] password for xxxx:
Adding '/var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der' to shim:
xxxx@xxxx-Aspire-A314-22:~$

[near yacht]

The internet says you need to set a supervisor password in BIOS to disable Secure Boot so that is an option

[desert mulch]

where do i do that

let me go to bios rq

[near yacht]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa2taa6T-Aw

[desert mulch]

ok i jus added password

and disabled it

[near yacht]

See if VM works now

[desert mulch]

how long should a vm take to power up

[near yacht]

It can take some time depending on your system

[desert mulch]

M Name: arch vm

VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_SVM_IN_USE).

[desert mulch]

xxxx adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev users lpadmin sambashare libvirt

[plush drum]

hmm

[desert mulch]

[desert mulch]

i didnt see that sttuff in BIOS btw

[plush drum]

check where Intel VT-x or AMD-V is in ur motherboard's bios and make sure its running

BUT BEFORE THAT

[desert mulch]

how do i do that

[plush drum]

try sudo systemctl restart libvirtd FIRST

[plush drum]

check where it is in ur bios on google

[desert mulch]

xxx@xxxx-Aspire-A314-22:~$ sudo systemctl restart libvirtd
[sudo] password for xxxx:
xxxx@xxxx-Aspire-A314-22:~$

did nothing so thats good i think

[desert mulch]

what wouldi search

[plush drum]

k now try "virt-manager"

in terminal or from start menu

both work

[desert mulch]

YI

I YHINK IT WORKED

its working omg

ily bro

[plush drum]

YOOOOOOOOOOO

[plush drum]

ily2 bro

[desert mulch]

so can i use oracle vm now? or just manager

[plush drum]

virt manager

oracle vm doesnt work for me either and virt manager is better imo

[desert mulch]

so can i install tails os now in a vm?

[plush drum]

yeah

you also dont need to make a virtual hard drive because tails is meant to be booted from a usb without installation

[desert mulch]

idk what this means should i js watch a guide on how to install tails in a vm?

[plush drum]

you cant install tails, you have to boot from the iso. thats a part of why its so secure in the first place

so you only need the iso

no virtual hard disk or anything along those lines

[desert mulch]

so should i install th

the tails os iso

[plush drum]

yeah just put the iso in, no other setup needed

other os'es will need a virtual disk but tails is the only one i know that doesnt

[plush drum]

bro delete the post if it worked
