virtualbox.org

I have a fairly new desktop. I downloaded and install Ubuntu and installed Firefox, Android Studio and other pieces of software. Been using for a few months.
No problems so far...
Next I tried to install VirtualBox. I tried many methods - including using Ubuntu Software, `sudo apt install virualbox`. But encounter an error:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ext-pack
"

Is this hardware not good? How can I get it installed?

That's not the official VirtualBox, that's the Ubuntu fork. If you want help with that, please ask the Ubuntu forums. Or, you can install the official one from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads . You could also add the repository if you want to use apt-get, just look at the instructions in the Debian-based distros.

I hope the error is quite clear. For security reasons the "/usr/lib" must be root-owned. Yours isn't. You need to fix this.
