Dear Parrot enthusiasts

I have a problem with installing Virtualbox showing the error below.

Can someone tell me how I can resolve this or an alternative way to install Virtualbox.

Thanks

Hello! As you can see a libvpx5 dependency is missing, install that and you can proceed. Alternatively, install VirtualBox via terminal sudo apt update && sudo apt install virtualbox. For further informations here’s our documentation: Install Parrot on VirtualBox - Parrot Documentation

Congratulations on your installation, @Tosh . If there is any performance issue (i.e. slow) in using VirtualBox - make sure to set Settings properly and / or give it more resources in case needed.

I was able to get to to install and work with vagrant up, but I needed this older version (virtualbox-6.1_6.1.26-145957~Debian~bullseye_amd64.deb) rather than the current to avoid this business
