Apologies if this is a duplicate, I saw other threads with similar errors, but no one of the answers fixed my issues.
I am trying to install virtualbox,first thing I tried is the download link for " Ubuntu 18.04 / 18.10 / Debian 10" here https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads however when I double click on it and click install, nothing happens.
So I tried to install it via the command line :
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -`
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Both commands output OK
.
sudo apt-get update
Output

So, last two lines seems to indicate that the command is trying to update for 32 bits, but my system and OS is 64 bits :
And finally doing sudo apt-get install virtualbox-6.0

Some packages can not be installed. This can mean
that you asked for the impossible, or, if you use
the unstable distribution, that some packages have not yet
were created or did not come out of Incoming.
The following information should help you resolve the situation:
The following packages contain unmet dependencies:
virtualbox-6.0: Depends: libqt5x11extras5 (> = 5.6.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to fix problems, faulty packages are in "keep as is" mode.
I totally removed virtualbox and tried again but without success. (using the answer of this question)
However when I do sudo ps aux | grep -i "vbox"
I have
louis 25612 0.0 0.0 15664 1060 pts/0 S+ 13:23 0:00 grep --color=auto -i vbox
Even after doing
sudo pkill VBox*
and
sudo pkill vbox*
So I don't know how to fix my problem and correctely install virtualbox
Cosmic
ppa to Bionic system ? Could you have made a mistake ? Cosmic is 18.10, while Bionic is 18.04
