UPDATE to given issue.
In order to solve this given issue with the error prompts that I
received at the terminal and when I ran a VM, the issue didn't relate to
a bug, but rather a few configuration problems I had. After scurrying
the Internet I discovered that Secure Boot in my bios was stopping
VirtualBox from completely downloading. This is due to Secure Boot not
allowing third-party programs from completely executing. In order to
turn this off I accessed my bios settings upon boot and disabled Secure
Boot. To do this it varies from system to system but there's a plethora
of information to do this on the Web.
However after this I found that Virtual Box was still not working
properly. By looking on the Internet some more I discovered that two
versions of VirtualBox were on my host (specifically VirtualBox 5.0 and
5.1). In order to discover this I typed the following script at the
command line:
dpkg --list | grep virtualbox
>From here I typed that following lines to uninstall multiple versions:
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-\*
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-\*
Then I followed these scripts to reinstall VirtualBox:
[Add Virtualbox Repository]
$ sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian
'$(lsb_release -cs)' contrib non-free' >
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list"
[Import Oracle Public Key]
$ wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O-
| sudo apt-key add -
[Install dependency packages]
$ sudo apt-get install dkms
[Update Repository Index]
$ sudo apt-get update
[Install VirtualBox]
$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1
I hope this helps as it took me days of troubleshooting to discovery what I
needed to do.
