Virtualbox fails on FossaDog
Posted: Mon Dec 02, 2024 7:15 pm
I tried the regular installation through Synaptic, but it fails:
Code: Select all
Loading new virtualbox-6.1.50 DKMS files...
Building for 5.4.0-53-generic
Module build for kernel 5.4.0-53-generic was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Setting up virtualbox (6.1.50-dfsg-1~ubuntu1.20.04.1) ...
Job for virtualbox.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status virtualbox.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox, action "restart" failed.

My uneducated guess is that the installation fails because I have an "unorthodox" kernel.
Any suggestions?
