I'm not sure what to do for Linux hosts with a Virtualbox exit code. Try checking that you followed the Linux host prerequisites before installing Virtualbox. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... linux-host (If not, uninstall Virtualbox, install the prerequisites then reinstall Virtualbox.)

Can you make a more simplified version please? The article is weird

I can try if you pay me... Actually I probably won't, I'm a Windows guy and it would be a serious case of the blind leading the blind. Just follow me and see what pits we'd fall into.

Start a new topic asking how to implement that link's suggestions and a volunteer Linux guru might help walk you through it.
