Re: Not able to install VirtualBox on Mint 21.3
I had a similar issue trying to install virtualbox. Did you install it using "sudo apt install VirtualBox"?
If so, purge that download and redownload it off of the oracle website https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

The OP seems to have left the building. What deepak says is very likely the correct answer, though.
Re: Not able to install VirtualBox on Mint 21.3
I use the Virtual Box repository to get the Oracle version. As soon as a new version is posted on the VBox website, it appears in Update Manager. Add it as a repository in Software Sources. I've used this for years.
Code: Select all
