That doesn't work, https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=84623&sid=255ddb223689adba4a433f51a9e7500d&p=401997#p401997it just shows a progress bar for a fraction of a second and then the button appears again, it does nothing, gives no error message. But that probably is a bug in Ubuntu. So in a terminal I did: {{{ $ sudo apt install ./virtualbox-5.1_5.1.28-117968-Ubuntu-xenial_amd64.deb }}} And this is the output: {{{ Reading package lists...
