VirtualBox not working
i tried to install virtual box, and it installs and opens, but when i try to start a vm, it doesnt work and shows this error message:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please try setting it up again by executing
'/sbin/vboxconfig'
I tried to use the solutions i faund in foruns, but in bazzite it shows an error saying that i canot write that file, it's read only and I have not foun a way to fix this.

It needs a kernel driver that ships as a dkms which doesn't work under atomic
you can instead use GNOME Boxes flatpak if you don't need USB passthru, or use QEMU via our ujust
ujust setup-virtualizationgonna try it, thx ^^
it worked, thx
silverblue lets you install virtualbox with akmods. it would be nice to be able to use virtualbox since it offers hardware accelerated graphics and other useful things
or at least silverblue did last time i used it maybe a year ago
Virtualbox is dkms
Haven't seen a kmod version
https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/VirtualBox is this not using akmod?
