VirtualBox Tutorial - How to Install VirtualBox in Ubuntu 20.04?
In this tutorial you will learn to install VirtualBox in Ubuntu 20.04 by step by step instruction. We have prepared the video tutorial of installing VirtualBox in Ubuntu 20.04. You will also learn to install the Virtual Extension pack. In the video you will find the steps of installing the Extension pack as well.
VirtualBox or Oracle VM VirtualBox is a type-2 hypervisor developed for x86 architecture and its a product of Oracle Corporation. Previously it was with the Sun with the product name Sun VirtualBox, Sun xVM VirtualBox and Innotek VirtualBox. Oracle later purchased Sun Microsystems and now this software is with Oracle.
The VirtualBox is a powerful software from Oracle for creating the various OS VMS of many supported operation systems on the host computer. It supports x86 and AMD64/Intel64 version of operating system. This software is available under Open Source Software GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 licence and it can be used to run virtualized operating system on the host computer.
VirtualBox is available for Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts. VirtualBox can be used to run many guest operating system including Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x and 4.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD.
How to Install VirtualBox in Ubuntu 20.04?
We will learn how to install VirtualBox in Ubuntu 20.04 step by step. So, following the steps given here to successfully install Oracle VirtualBox on your Ubunut 20.04 box.
Step 1: Download the installer for Ubuntu 20.04
To install the VirtualBox in Ubuntu 20.04 login to your box and then open the browser and browse to https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads as shown below:
To download for the Linux distribution (Ubuntu 20.04) click on the Linux distribution link in the above page and you will be shown with the options to download it for various Linux Operating system as shown below:
To download Oracle VirtualBox for Ubuntu click on the "Ubuntu 19.10 / 20.04 / 20.10 / 21.04" link and the deb will be downloaded on your system. During the installation of I downloaded "virtualbox-6.1_6.1.30-148432~Ubuntu~eoan_amd64.deb" file from the above website. In your case the version might be newer.
Step 2: Install Oracle VirtualBox on Ubuntu 20.04
The next step is to install VirtualBox on our Ubuntu operating system. We have downloaded the deb file (virtualbox-6.1_6.1.30-148432~Ubuntu~eoan_amd64.deb) for installation and it is stored in the Downloads folder by default.
So, we will open the terminal and then go to the Downloads folder in the Ubuntu Operating system as shown below:
To install run the following command:
sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-6.1_6.1.30-148432~Ubuntu~eoan_amd64.deb
Above command will install Oracle VirtualBox on your system.
In my case following error was coming:

To solve this we executed following command:
sudo apt-get install libqt5core5a
After this following command was executed:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
Above command fixed the issue and installed Oracle VirtualBox on Ubuntu 20.4. Here is the full log of the installation process:
