I tried using Mate welcome tool to download Oracle first and then KVM second, I can’t get either to run. Not sure what’s going on here, here are the error messages I get in both:
Oracle:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
‘/sbin/rcvboxdrv setup’
as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

It’s set to US Server right now, I changed it to Main and it’s still giving me error when trying to run a virtual box. I noticed when installing Oracle, it says attempting to register kernel and it fails. When I run dmesg, here are the errors:

Okay, if I were you (and sometimes I wish I was someone else!) I would start from the beginning and start by creating a swap; root and home partiton using Gparted from the live CD!. In your case, you should also create a small UEFI partiton (512MB in size at the very beginning of your hard disk space!) for the UEFI bootlaoder!.
See the partition guide and READ THE PART ABOUT UEFI FIRST!:
How can I tell though? The one thing I’m confused about is it’s supposed to be a 256GB hard drive, so why is lsblk saying the drive is 238.5? The rest of it still has Arch on it? That’s what I’m confused about, how can I see that those three partitions are all that I have on here?
wolfman you are a genius! Ok, so I found the extra space! How do I fix this? This had to have occurred during the Arch install. Basically I want to wipe everything and install Ubuntu Mate fresh. I already downloaded the iso so I'm ready to go. I just need to know how to fix the drive issues? <img
I tried going through the installation steps of “something else” now I have the same problem except gparted won’t even show me the missing disk partition now. It disappeared. What do I do?
sda 8:0 0 238.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 230.1G 0 part /
└─sda3 8:3 0 7.9G 0 part [SWAP]
There’s a partition missing from a prior install of Arch, gparted isn’t showing it either. Ubuntu Mate just keeps reinstalling on sda but what I want it to do is wipe the entire disk including the missing partition so I can reinstall Ubuntu Mate fresh.
Is this right? Shouldn’t there be a home partition?
sda 8:0 0 238.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 230.1G 0 part /
└─sda3 8:3 0 7.9G 0 part [SWAP]
@kreasonos, wasn’t your original problem with your VM installation?
Why did this conversation turn into a partitioning problem all of a sudden?
Did you go through the “Driver & Firmware” setup step in the “Getting Started” section of the Welcome splash screen after you had installed Ubuntu MATE?
Sorry @kreasonos but it ain't gonna happen as I don't want to start something that may turn into a major headache for me and I am not very good at working on phones/webcams with people as I have a low tolerance level!.
