@costamagnagianfranco From my understanding, all new modules will now have to be signed since the signature enforcement was activated in the kernel. So, the dkms system would have to generate a local system key, add this local key to the trusted keystore and would have to sign all third-party-modules in the future.

I removed and purged the virtualbox-dkms (which obviously wouldn't fix the problem), but am unsure on how to proceed from here. Would I have to build and sign the kernel module myself - and do so for every new kernel installation? Or will there be a convenience package from you doing that?
