Can't install virtualbox in ubuntu 16.04

[ramwin]

I install the latest ubuntu 16.04 on my computer and download the virtualbox-5.0_5.0.18-106667~Ubuntu~xenial_amd64.deb (md5sum is right: 85665eed0684c2f1cd33159d207bda47). But when I double click the file, it promts a window of software. I click the install button, nothing happened.

It would be useful to see a screenshot in support of "it prompts a window of software".

Have you read chapter 2.3 of the user manual?

Sinc I can't posts urls right now. I will use the plain text. Sorry about that.

If I click the install button, it became installing and became install again immediately. And a icon will show on my left panel (sometimes not).

I read the docs. And the dkms version is 2.2.0.3. The problem still exists.

You don't need to post any URLs. Screenshots and files can be attached directly in the forum. See the "Upload attachment" tab when composing messages.

Double click will by default try to use Ubuntu software center which is severely broken IMHO.

Use dpkg or at the very least use gdebi to install VirtualBox.

$ sudo dpkg -i ./virtualbox-5.0_5.0.18-106667~Ubuntu~xenial_amd64.deb
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-5.0:
virtualbox-5.0 depends on libqt4-opengl (>= 4:4.7.2); however:
Package libqt4-opengl is not installed.

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install libqt4-opengl
$ sudo dpkg -i ./virtualbox-5.0_5.0.18-106667~Ubuntu~xenial_amd64.deb

Done. Thank you everyone. Special thanks to @Perryg
