I disabled secure boot on ubuntu because I couldn't get the virtualbox kernel module... So pretty sure the modules have to be signed.

Anyways, with Lenovo who is to say they didn't leak their private key out shear incompetence :)



I faced the same issue. Though disabling secure boot just to get the vbox driver running isn't the best idea. There are quite many detailed tutorials that list how you can sign the vbox modules and it won't take that much time, I promise. If the kernel devs are providing us with a security mechanism, might as well use it. :)
