I installed Virtualbox according to the wiki, added vbox users group, logged out and in.
This is a new installation of Manjaro.
The Windows partition is mounted automatically at login.
The mount options are set to
nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show
Now I am trying to run a VM stored on my Windows NTFS partition.
I navigated to the vbox file in Dolphin, clicked on it, and VB opened. but I get an error:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win10.
The virtual machine 'Win10' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}
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'
as root.
If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.
I have secure boot and fast boot disabled in BIOS, and Windows shut down normally.

in upper right corner of the forum page - before asking - you are most likely not the first having this kind of question - in fact very few questions are really unique.
