I installed VirtualBox 5.1 using as follows:
When I run apt-get update, it returns this:
This causes Software Updater to stall and return:
Failed to download repository information
Check your Internet connection
About 10 seconds later, Software Updater returns:
Your software is up to date
So, I go into Software Updater and uncheck the VirtualBox respository, and I no longer get the failed to download message. But that also means that I won't be getting updates for VirtualBox, I presume. Is this normal behavior? What does everyone else do?
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtu...racle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian $(lsb_release -sc) contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1Code:
