On my last setup I installed VirtualBox on a Debian 11 system following the instructions on the page listed below. That was maybe 4-6 months ago. I do remember having to add that repository and I did not have any problems.
After installing Devuan in qemu, after 2nd reboot this error comes up.
Code:
Error starting domain: Requested operation is not valid: network 'default' is not active
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in cb_wrapper
callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 101, in tmpcb
callback(*args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/libvirtobject.py", line 57, in newfn
ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/domain.py", line 1329, in startup
self._backend.create()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 1353, in create
raise libvirtError('virDomainCreate() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Requested operation is not valid: network 'default' is not active
First, my attempt at a useful response to the original poster (@OP):
A web search of the title, simply copy and pasted into the search box, seem to return lots of useful links (but I did not look through them because I don't use this distro) e.g. https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com...seems-to-work/

TL;dr (my 5 Second attention span can barely read about a single --switch)
but I hope that looooong (mega)thread doesNOT say that: you have to install systemd on slackware to make virtualbox work!!! (I'm sure it doesn't, and maybe you were just joking in the above post. Virtualbox is half my life, so I'm hoping to get it to run on a slackware host, maybe in my next life)
@ondoho: I missed you, almost as much as I would miss LQ!!! (I wondered what happened to you... I hope #5 won't cause you to 'disappear' for 2months again)
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

Yes!
The Linux-64-bit.run package from virtualbox.org always installs. Of course, you would want to make sure it is a version compatible with the kernel you are running, but that applies to any Linux distribution.
At the moment the most recent test build, VirtualBox-6.1.37-152741-Linux_amd64.run, is running on this box with the 6.0-rc2 kernel in Slackware64-current.
