You need to either ask the Ubuntu folks ( its their fork ) or remove theirs and install the official version from virtualbox.org

Sure it is. Just use "dpkg" to install it. Standard Linux command.

Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

sudo dpkg -i virtualbox ....

All is right without agreed of Ubuntu Software Center
But
The virtual machine 'Ubuntu GNS3 3' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Code d'erreur :
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Composant :
MachineWrap
Interface :
IMachine {b2547866-a0a1-4391-8b86-6952d82efaa0}
RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)

The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing

'/sbin/vboxconfig'

may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.

where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user.
