SOLVED Download link for latest Virtual box for Linux Mint 20 Needed

[Makarios]

Does any one have the correct link for the download for Virtual box for Linux mint 20?

I've just upgraded from Mint 19.3 and don't want to install the version on the Mint repo. The virtual box version that was running on 19.3 was auto uninstalled during the upgrade process.

This is the one from the https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads.

It does not seem to run from the Mint 20 Software manager.

It appears that there never has been a 'Mint' link on the Virtualbox Downloads page.

Mint appears to be based in either Ubuntu or Debian. Try the latest Ubuntu or Debian links.

Thanx Scottgus1

I have already done so and none of them are running.

The ones I used for Linux Mint 19.3 are also not running on Mint 20' using the software manager.

The solution was to ensure virtual box was fully uninstalled in the Software manager and the Synaptic package manager and then:

Courtecy of Mr_raider on LinuxMint forum:

download from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

Navigate to the folder where the download is saved. Open a terminal there and type:

sudo apt install ./virtualbox-6.1_6.1.10-138449~Ubuntu~eoan_amd64.deb

worked like a charm...just figuring out the Guest additions bit to get my full screens again..
