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/virtualb..._amd64.run https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb...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.

• wget -P $HOME/Downloads https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb...ox-extpack
  
• sha256sum -c <(grep "Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.1.4.vbox-extpack" "$HOME/Downloads/SHA256SUMS")
  
• sudo /usr/bin/vboxmanage extpack install --replace $HOME/Downloads/Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.1.4.vbox-extpack
  
• ls -l /opt/VirtualBox/ExtensionPacks/Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack/linux.amd64
  

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

You could have gone with KVM that was more customisable and give you more performances,
It's drawback was that it wasn't something that came setted up out of the box
