Hello,
A recent problem that popped up is that VirtualBox now refuses to work on my system running UM 18.10 latest.
$ uname -a Linux T-2030 4.18.0-16-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 8 00:06:57 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $
I have purged virtualbox, reinstalled it and have retried relaunching yet nothing happens. Also there are no error at program launch nor any zombie PIDs.
$ ps -ef | grep -i virtualbox t 13048 12982 0 18:06 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto --exclude-dir=.bzr --exclude-dir=CVS --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=.hg --exclude-dir=.svn -i virtualbox $
Just so we're clear:
$ apt list --installed | grep -i virtual WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. virtualbox-dkms/cosmic-updates,cosmic-updates,cosmic-security,cosmic-security,now 5.2.18-dfsg-2ubuntu18.10.1 all [installed,automatic] virtualbox-guest-utils/cosmic-updates,cosmic-security,now 5.2.18-dfsg-2ubuntu18.10.1 amd64 [installed] virtualbox-qt/cosmic-updates,cosmic-security,now 5.2.18-dfsg-2ubuntu18.10.1 amd64 [installed,automatic] virtualbox/cosmic-updates,cosmic-security,now 5.2.18-dfsg-2ubuntu18.10.1 amd64 [installed] $
Only thing I could find is:
$ dmesg | tail [ 62.604722] usb 2-1-port1: unable to enumerate USB device [ 92.922206] vboxdrv: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

But before applying old fixes ( Ref.: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24975377/kvm-module-verification-failed-signature-and-or-required-key-missing-taintin ) I wanted to first check in with the Community because this worked fine not too long ago.
Guess my next step is, again, to rollback to previous kernel.
Please advise,
