Repository for Ubuntu 20.04 not present...

[ducarpit]

Hi,
i have just updated my laptop to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS latest version and then changed the virtualbox repository to inserrt the new correct codename.
So now i have this in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list:

Schermata a 2020-05-09 11-54-30.png (13.11 KiB) Viewed 2273 times

But when i run the apt-get update command i got this error:

Schermata a 2020-05-09 11-56-26.png (34.23 KiB) Viewed 2273 times

Why? I can't install the VirtualBox repository in UBuntu 20.04....
Thank a lot in advance

That repository is probably not available yet. Go to https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads, and when you see an Ubuntu 20.04 link, then the repository command should work. We on these user forums do not know when the 20.04 link will appear, though.

Hi,
thanks!
Meanwhile, can i use the Ubuntu 19.10 repository instead on the 20.04?
I think it should work maybe...

I would not be able to tell. You could try. Make a backup just in case.

**Update**
You can use the link https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... _amd64.run All distributions (built on EL6 and therefore not requiring recent system libraries) and run the installer from shell

Code: Select all

sudo ./VirtualBox-6.1.6-137129-Linux_amd64.run

VirtualBox has been installed successfully.

You will find useful information about using VirtualBox in the user manual
  /opt/VirtualBox/UserManual.pdf
and in the user FAQ

We hope that you enjoy using VirtualBox.

And now it had found python though

On Ubuntu 20.04LTS (Mate flavor), tried to use the 19.10 eoan version (.deb), to no avial.

Code: Select all

work@work-MainPC:~/Downloads$ cat /proc/version
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal) Linux version 5.4.0-29-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-035) (gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2)) #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 29 14:32:27 UTC 2020

Tried to install VirtualBox:

Code: Select all

(German translation: This package can't be installed)
Dependency is not satisfiable: python (< 2.8)

But python is installed, guess it has its problems with the "rc1" part.

Code: Select all

work@work-MainPC:~/Downloads$ python -V
Python 2.7.18rc1

Side note:
Upgraded today from 19.10 to 20.04LTS without thinking, and the software upgrade removed virtualbox 6.1.6 completely, now I without any runnable VM.

Focal repos are now up and running so try again and you should be fine.
