Virtualbox not updating on Mint 20

Post by CosmicKn1ght »

Hello forums:

It's been about a month since I updated from Mint 19.3 Tricia to 20 Ulyana. I have pretty much trying to update Virtualbox everyday and I have been getting the same error.

The repository '/virtualbox/debian ulyana Release' does not have a Release file.

Not sure if I just have to continue being patient for the release file or if there is a work around without having to go back to the previous version. Any feedback would be appreciated.

In your repository configuration, use focal or eoan instead of ulyana.

Apparently there was a package that needed to be fixed (python2). Now I run to install I get the following message.

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root. (which I did) If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the
kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.
