Hi,
just tried to install Virtual Box on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS . The dep install failes because of many missing dependencies(e.g. Java 9)
Is there a List of depencies needed for VB 5.2 on a Linux Installation ?
Regars,
VK
And no Java 9 is not mentioned with dpkg -i

If you have really used the package for ubuntu 14.04, the deps should fit.

lsb_release -a shows
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
So I did
sudo apt-get install
./virtualbox-5.2_5.2.0-118431~Ubuntu~trusty_amd64.deb
would that be right ?
