packages for virtualbox installation

[mrvst]

this is my method of installing virtualbox on ubuntu 22.04 LTS:

sudo apt install virtualbox
sudo apt install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso virtualbox-ext-pack
sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER

but in some sites on the internet they mention that I must install the following packages:

1. Before proceeding with the installation I must execute:

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

2. and after or during the installation I must execute:

sudo apt install dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-guest-x11

So I am confused because I don't know what is the purpose of these additional packages and whether or not they are necessary for virtualbox to work And therefore, I would like to know what are the necessary packages for the installation of virtualbox in ubuntu (preferably ubuntu 22.04)

Thanks in advanced

Hi mrvst,

You are referring to packages provided by Ubuntu, not by us. If you install an official version of VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads, you might want to refer to https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#install-linux-host for additional details.

Closing, not a bug.
