I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14IGL7 with Ubuntu 22.04.3 installed.

Tried to use VirtualBox earlier to emulate the Windows XP operating system, when all of a sudden:

This happened.
I have Intel Virtualization turned on and Secure Boot disabled from the BIOS. Anyway I can fix this?

How did you install virtual box? Did you get the installer directly from virtualbox.org?

The Ubuntu repo likely has an older version, a common issue.

Logged into the Terminal as ROOT and ran the command "apt install virtualbox-ext-pack". Seems to be working, just stuck here.
What do I do?

You should'nt need to login as root, "sudo" should be enough.

I installed VirtualBox through the .deb package from their official website.
And the command didn't work until I logged in as ROOT.
But, I'm stuck here now:

Any idea what I could do?

EDIT: Never mind, I had to use the arrow keys to select "<Ok>".

You should not need to log into the root acoount, that is what sudo is for (Super User DO).

I've install Ubuntu on a VM, all I had to do was run "sudo apt install virtualbox-ext-pack" and it worked from my regular account.

On this screen press the tab key and when "ok" is highlighted and press the enter key. On the next screen do the same but for "yes".

edit:

Did you make sure to install "gcc make perl" per the post? If not this may fail.

I don't remember installing "ggc make perl," but it's still working regardless.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
