Once I was trying to set up a virtual box on my Linux mint 20 computer but when I tried to start it an error came up I did research about this error and apparently I need to disable secure boot. I saw many people had the same problem but they had Linux installed as default while I have mine as a dual boot. They went into the BIOS settings but does this also work for dual boot? Error code: rc=-1908. I am a brand new user so I am not that used to mint.

That's a file on your hard drive, we are not able to see it.

Re: Virtual box error
Hi there
Sorry my brain was not working to full capacity LOL.
So hopefully it will work this time. If it does not work this time please tell me I will try again

Re: Virtual box error
Wasn't difficult was it ??
Have you turned off secure boot and does that fix it?

Re: Virtual box error
Well I feel dumb now
I guess I just did not think that with a dual boot entering the UEFI or BIOS settings would work for both Windows or Mint
I also do not feel comfortable in the BIOS settings.
(The problem was fixed)
Thanks btw
