Re: Cannot install Virtualbox on Ubuntu 19.10
How about installing 'libvpx5' to satisfy the requirements?medmedin2014 wrote:I tried the debian package from Virtualbox site called virtualbox-6.0_6.0.14-133895~Ubuntu~bionic_amd64.deb, but it gives the following errors :dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-6.0: virtualbox-6.0 depends on libvpx5 (>= 1.6.0); however: Package libvpx5 is not installed.
Or you could try the "All Distributions" (the last item) from the Linux Downloads page. See if that works...

Re: Cannot install Virtualbox on Ubuntu 19.10
I actually downloaded a 19.10 DVD to try it myself, I needed to have done it anyway, thanks for the push!
The developers need to find a way to make 19.10 work I guess, at least the generic ".run" version is working. Thanks for the feedback! Marking as a [Workaround] for the moment...

Re: [Workaround] Cannot install Virtualbox on Ubuntu 19.10
Nobody knows except the developers... My gut feeling is that a Ubuntu 19.10 specific build will be available with 6.0.16. For the moment, you'll have to stick with the "All distributions" one.

Re: [Workaround] Cannot install Virtualbox on Ubuntu 19.10
I thought so.
Maybe not have to wait 2 months for a new release...

The average is about 43 days between releases...
