linux ubuntu module sign

I'm working with a real time scheduler developed at my university and when I run it I get "module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel". I've learned that it might be because of some kernel module signing. Is it possible to dissable this on my ubuntu? I'm using ubuntu with VMplayer.

Module signing is enabled within the kernel configuration file starting from kernel version 3.7, you can disable it by running make menuconfig within the kernel source directory and deselecting the Module Signature verification option within the Enable loadable kernel module menu option. After this you will have to recompile your kernel.
