virtualbox5 in ubuntu 7.04 zesty.md

Hi! You're lucky enough to have stumbled onto this link.

Here's what you do:

1. Uninstall previous virtualboxes

   sudo apt remove virtualbox-5.0

2. Download one of the virtualbox 5.0s such as 5.0.38 from the virtualbox site. The xenial will do.

3. Now install it like this:

   sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=libvpx3 virtualbox-5.0_5.0.38-114632-Ubuntu-xenial_amd64.deb

4. Make sure you have libvpx4 installed:

   sudo apt-get install libvpx4

For step #5 you have two options:

5a. Downloand/install vpx3 manually. It's at:

 http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libvpx3/download
 
 sudo dpkg -i libvpx3_1.5.0-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb

5b. Link libvpx4 to libvpx3:

 cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
 ln -s libvpx.so.4.1.0 libvpx.so.3

That's it! ft
