I simply couldn't install virtualbox on Ubuntu 18.04 (Kernel 5.4.0-90-generic). Trying different versions from 5.2 to 6.1 and always have the same error when requested /sbin/vboxconfig:

vboxdrv.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vbox-setup.log to find out what went wrong.

I have tried all approaches mentioned out there, like this, that, there (already had UEFI secure boot disabled), none of them works.

It's getting really frustrating. Anyone got some ideas?

    What is content of the file /var/log/vbox-setup.log ? – pasman pasmański Nov 12 '21 at 07:48
  • @pasmanpasmański It's a pretty long file, and this is one of the errors ./arch/x86/include/asm/tlbflush.h: In function ‘__native_flush_tlb’: ././include/linux/compiler_types.h:214:24: error: expected ‘(’ before ‘__inline’ #define asm_inline asm __inline – EternaLCompleX Nov 12 '21 at 17:58
  • @EternaL You probably has too old gcc. Best is to install newer release of Ubuntu, 20.04LTS or 21.10 (only 9 month support) – pasman pasmański Nov 12 '21 at 18:54
  • @pasmanpasmański Good point, I upgraded to gcc 9 and the error went away. Thanks a lot. – EternaLCompleX Nov 12 '21 at 23:08
