N: Skipping acquire of configured file [duplicate]
Edit:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
and change:
deb https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic contrib
for
deb [arch=amd64] https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic contrib
Or open terminal an execute the following command:
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian $(lsb_release -sc) contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
Or run this bash script to install virtualbox and its dependencies from Oracle repository (tested in Ubuntu 18.04/20.04):
chmod +x VboxInstall.sh && ./VboxInstall.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Install Virtualbox from Oracle Repository
echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian $(lsb_release -sc) contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
sudo su -c 'wget -q -O- https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc | apt-key add -'
sudo su -c 'wget -q -O- http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox_2016.asc | apt-key add -'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential gcc make perl dkms bridge-utils
sudo apt-get -y install virtualbox-6.1
sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f -y install
export VBOX_VER=`VBoxManage --version | awk -Fr '{print $1}'`
wget -c http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/$VBOX_VER/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-$VBOX_VER.vbox-extpack
sudo VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-$VBOX_VER.vbox-extpack
sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER
sudo update-grub
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
the following bash script, if it detects previous versions, removes them and then proceeds with the new installation. If not detected, install virtualbox.
It is recommended to backup the VMs and virtualbox configurations before executing it
#!/bin/bash
vboxversion=$(dpkg -l | grep -P 'virtualbox-\d+\.\d+' | awk '{print $2}')
