How install VirtualBox 7.0.20 on Linux Mint 22
by Indispansoye from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PJPA)
As a satisfied Linux Mint 21.3 user, I am testing the new Linux Mint 22 on my laptop. The installation finished and updated with no issues at all, and everything goes well for me, with the new version of Mint.
But before adding the last 7.0.20 version of VirtualBox to the distro (not from the Software Manager who only offers and earlier version) I need to solve one doubt.
On the web page:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
you can see (on the section Debian-based Linux distributions) that before proceeding to the installation of VirtualBox you must add to the /etc/apt/sources.list file a line with the following text:
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oracle-virtualbox-2016.gpg] https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian <mydist> contrib
and you can find too instructions for changing in this line <mydist> in the case you operate with Debian 11 or Ubuntu 22.04. But I canit find any note explaining what to do in the case of Ubuntu 24.04 (Linux Mint 22 is based on Ubuntu 24.04, and this on Debian 12, if I understand the situation).
Any suggestions?
