How to install virtualbox? [Solved]

Yes I followed the recommendations.

The last step had the same result as before:

It runs apt-get update then opens the terminal for a split second then I get “Process finished”, but virtualbox still not installed.

I’m not seeing any oracle or virtualbox in the menu, even after Refresh Menu.

Post again output of inxi -r
Your antix.list should look something like this:

deb http://repo.antixlinux.com/bullseye bullseye main nonfree nosystemd 

In a terminal

sudo apt update – Post output
sudo apt dist-upgrade – Post output before saying Yes.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Kaye’s message was blocked as spam:

“I would post the output if wordpress would stop blocking me. it’s saying ‘forbidden’. then it said i post too much or something like that”.

What probably happened is that you may have included an attachment that was blocked. I tried to attach a few files recently and they were blocked too, though my post was not marked, since I’m already a moderator. But I did have to change the file extension, then the file was included. I made mine a .txt file, those are easy enough to read and examine…

inxi did have a regression, which h2 has fixed.
We should see the update here soon.

If you want to retrieve it now yourself, perform the following steps:
sudo geany /etc/inxi.conf

Replace the contents of the file with:
B_ALLOW_UPDATE=’true’
save and exit.

Then run sudo inxi -U
Without B_ALLOW_UPDATE=’true’
inxi can update only through the antiX updates.
But if you dare to update it on your own, this will bring inxi to version 3.3.19, which has corrected the issue.
(This is NOT an antiX supported method, it IS a method endorsed by the author, to be performed only by those willing to update the software themselves).
Thanks to h2 for providing this information (and reminding me) earlier.

Attached file shows the terminal window that appeared while installing virtualbox. I was stuck with it; didn’t move at all, had to close it manually. After that, virtualbox still uninstalled.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the installed brave browser.

I used the purge command and installed virtualbox via terminal and now it’s installed.

Thanks much!
