vilde, purge virtualbox* and take the original in current version 6.0.0 (or 6.0.1 testbuild like me)!

Changelog 6.0.x ("Linux hosts: support Linux 4.20")

I can't install that, not working, probably I don't know how, but installing the 6.0.0 version with .deb is not working. I  need Virtual Box, so I have to go back to older kernel for the moment

@vilde,

here Oracle virtualbox installation works like before.

Code: [Select]
# LANG=C less /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
# Oracle Virtualbox
# https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
# wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | apt-key add -
# deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian stretch contrib
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic contrib

Code: [Select]
# LANG=C apt-cache search virtualbox | grep -i oracle
virtualbox-5.1 - Oracle VM VirtualBox
virtualbox-5.2 - Oracle VM VirtualBox
virtualbox-6.0 - Oracle VM VirtualBox

Code: [Select]
# LANG=C apt install virtualbox-6.0 -s
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
virtualbox-6.0 is already the newest version (6.0.0-127566~Ubuntu~bionic).
...

Completely inadequate information. What did you do exactly? What were the results? So you can get targeted support.

Cut.  Execute:

Code: [Select]
apt purge virtualbox*
wget https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.0.0/VirtualBox-6.0.0-127566-Linux_amd64.run
sh VirtualBox*.run

For uninstalling:

Code: [Select]
sh VirtualBox*.run uninstall
You have to take care of updates yourself.

samoht, Bionic packages may or may not work. Packages for Ubuntu in debian sid are not a good idea.

Sorry and thank you for your help axt but: that's not the way I want to install things on my every day laptop with siduction, if I can't install it with apt, or maybe dpkg, then I don't install.

@axt,
using ubuntu/bionic virtualbox packages has already been discussed, so what? Look at
https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=7338.0
All I wanted to say is: At this vey moment virtualbox is installable and fully functional in sid.
Greetings,
Tom

First off Happy New Year to all! For the very reasons of having to jump through these constant changes I think kvm might be time to try?  :-\

If you had read the thread completely, you would have seen, that I also wrote there. So I know it...

The best statement in that thread is:

Quote from: melmarker
Unstable-User sollten sich zu helfen wissen, wenn nicht - ok, die Gefahr besteht, dass diese Nutzergruppe dann auch nicht mit siduction an sich glücklich wird.

That's my opinion, too.

What's supposed to have changed? Not the kernel has to change (current is 4.20.0-towo.3-siduction from last night.). There are no new versions of nvidia or vbox 5.2.x.

Btw., kernel 5.0-rc1 has been published (...breaks nvidia and VMware - the eternal song). New year - new main number. ;)

The situation is now:

vbox 6.x is compatible with kernel 4.20
nvidia 415.25 and 410.93  are even.

Now you can think yourself, what to do.

Maybe legacy 390.xx will get a update, only nvidia is knowing.

For vbox 5.2.x are patches in the wild, you are fre to use them.

As described. Works perfectly.

so... is there a fix or not? Do I have to uninstall Virtualbox? I can go without it for a while, I guess, but I'd like to have it soon.


And what about the Nvidia Bullshit? How does one fix that?


I'd like to be able to update my computer without worrying my ass off every time

I think if you want to do that you have to leave Nvidia graphics cards - as towo alreadystated...

No, you haven't, but you have to use the newest cards, no legacy ones.

Of course you are right. But I by myself love Linux because it does not have builtin "planned obsolescense". Taking cards from Nvidia bring this back in a unsatisfyable way. Nvidia tells you when you have to buy a new one.
