Hello, I've been trying to install virtualbox on Trisquel 8, and it keeps giving me this error:
error: dependency is not satisfiable libc6
So when I try to install libc6, it gives me this line of errors.
ERROR: Cannot create report: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/virtualbox-guest-dkms.0.crash'

Any ideas?
This is because of unmet dependencies. But since VirtualBox is in Debian's "contrib" and Ubuntu's "multiverse" repositories, there is certain freedom issue with it. Therefore it is not recommended.
i really like virtualbox... but if something is free your data is
probably the product (and sold).
virtualbox started as a German Tech company was bought by Oracle.
it is very interesting that they offer a "extension" that does not ship
per default, which enables USB 2.0 and 3.0 (more spy code?)
Oracle founder has/had ties to CIA in fact the name Oracle was a CIA
project.... having that reputation (also not for Java) is is not so great.
what alternatives are there? quemu kvm? (also pretty nice actually check
out GPU pass through with KVM:

allowing you to theoretically run windows games on a windows running on
linux host)

For a quick, simple VM, I like to use Gnome Boxes. Much better than oracle-box for simple stuff in my opinion. For something that's more configurable, qemu kvm is a very good way to go.
Use gnome-boxes or qemu/kvm instead.

Thank you very much. Let me try "gnome-boxes" and see whether it can be used as a simple hypervisor.
