Virtualbox 7.1.4 in Ubuntu 24.10 - Pflash - 11-16-2024

Hi ,

I have seen many people are not able to install Virtualbox 7.1.4 in  Ubuntu 24.10 due to unresolved dependencies making it impossible to install.

I got a solution to install it successfully with ease , just follow the steps listed below.

Here is what I did to successfully install VirtualBox 7.1.4 on Ubuntu 24.10
  • sudo apt update
  • sudo apt install dkms menu build-essential libelf-dev make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r)
  • sudo apt install liblzf1 libqt6help6 libqt6statemachine6 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libqt6widgets6 libqt6xml6 qt6-wayland libqt6sql6 libqt6opengl6 libqt6printsupport6 libqt6network6 libqt6printsupport6 libqt6gui6 libqt6dbus6 qt6-qpa-plugins qt6-translations-l10n qt6-wayland qt6-qmltooling-plugins libb2-1
  • wget -P $HOME/Downloads https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.1.4/VirtualBox-7.1.4-165100-Linux_amd64.run https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.1.4/SHA256SUMS
  • sha256sum -c <(grep "VirtualBox-7.1.4-165100-Linux_amd64.run" "$HOME/Downloads/SHA256SUMS")
  • chmod +x $HOME/Downloads/VirtualBox-7.1.4-165100-Linux_amd64.run
  • sudo ./VirtualBox-7.1.4-165100-Linux_amd64.run

If you like you might want to install the VirtualBox extensions as well.

Add your user to vboxuser group
  • sudo usermod -aG vboxusers $USER
  • sudo reboot

Now the Virtualbox 7.1.4 is set to go in Ubuntu 24.10  Biggrin
