I tried looking into this myself but I couldn’t really find much about this error. The only solutions I could find didn’t work for me. The first one was to use mokutil but at the point where I was supposed to run sudo mokutil --import MOK.der it gives me the error message “Failed to get file status, MOK.der” even though I did everything it told me to do. The other one was to disable secure boot and then run sudo '/sbin/vboxconfig' but even though it looked like it worked, I’m still getting the error message. I have re-enabled secure boot, so you don’t have to worry about that.

Is there something else I can try or does VirtualBox not work in Linux Mint for some reason?

    reinstall virtualbox-dkms (from your repo), disable secure boot in BIOS and reboot.
    If that doesn’t work, I’m out of ideas.

      I already tried that yesterday and it didn’t work. It’s not that big of a problem though because both Gnome Boxes and virt-manager are working fine. So I wont need VirtualBox anymore.
