Unable to Get Virtualbox Running - XenialPup64v7.5 (Solved)

[MrDuckGuy]

*** SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR SOLUTION ***

I downloaded the latest version for
Debian 10 (v6.1.2).
The popup says to install both devx
and kernal sources for the first run,
from quickpet. So I installed devx and
kernal_sources-4.9.58 (the highest
version).

When I ran the rcvboxdrv setup, the
output says:
failed: Cannot change group vboxusers for
device /dev/vboxdrv.

Screenshots below:

Might be helpful, seems to be a work-around for a similar issue.

Thanks.
I had done everything on the list except:
4. Edit your /etc/group file to add the following line:
"vboxusers:root,spot,fido"

Unlike the other user, I have not succeeded
in any GUI running yet. Still the advice is
helpful.

So, the error messages have not appeared.
However when I click on VM Virtualbox in the
menu, nothing happens.

Tried running from a terminal window.
The outputs say I'm missing some
required files.

1) Error output states: libQt5Core.so.5 is missing.
2) Error output states: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found.

I always recommend downloading virtualbox from virtualbox.

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Get this file:

https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... _amd64.run

Download the .run file, make it executable and run it

Downloading the virtualbox which has been compiled for Debian 10 is a mistake if you are trying to run it in XenialPup64. That is why you are getting the error about your libc.so.6 version being too old. Try the Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) version instead, or try using the .run installer package as suggested.
The error about libQt5Core is just telling you that you need to install Qt5 libraries which are not included in XenialPup. You can probably do this via PPM.

Sounds easy enough.

This seems simplest, since
I'm either doing this or uninstalling
everything I've worked on up to now.
I'm trying this now.

UPDATE: installed these, but it's not happening.
I'm uninstalling and trying the other suggestions.

UPDATE II: installed suggested version from the
correct website, and the program is running, it
seems! Thanks to all for the help!
