Hi:
When I install Virtual Box I generally don't use sbo.
Instead I download VBox from the site and than run the script as root like so:
Code:
./VirtualBox-5.1.14-112924-Linux_amd64.run
Once the script is done running VBox is installed and ready to use.

Ztcoracat Thanks for help! Finally I successfully installed Vbox!
Just few little note that may help other newbiee (like me) to solve similar issues in installing Vbox:
1) Don't download file.run with browser, probabilly this will cause system to freeze (see attached Image)
Use instead the following command:
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtu...inux_amd64.run
2) Remember the mentioned command place the download to the current working directory (check with pwd command)
3) File permission are related to user that is logged when wget is downladed, so use wget as root or chmod the file after download
Ztcoracat, please excuse my noobish notes, your solution was good and self explaning (to me), I added such notes in order to help who might need further details
Thanks again

O VBox has it own install and remove commands -- that is what I've used and it worked for me. sbo not really needed it is self contained rather well for updating also.
