Linux Mint Whonix Install Errors

Support

Using Mint Xia, had an issue earlier in which I had to edit etc/apt/sources.list and delete a line off of there as the install could not go through. Since then I’ve gotten further through the install but I got a new error that look like this

whonix-xfce-installer-cli: [NOTICE]: Executed script, function, command executed: './whonix-xfce-installer-cli' 'check_upgrades_simulation' 'return 1'
whonix-xfce-installer-cli: [ERROR]: Installer aborted due to an error.

Debug log required.

What exactly did you change that prevented the install from not going through as you stated?

Since you mentioned editing /etc/apt/sources.list, ensure that the entries are correct and that there are no syntax errors.

Check for Broken Packages via sudo apt --fix-broken install

Also since this is Mint I assume you are using the Ubuntu version not LMDE?
If thats the case then that could be the issue. Although it appears 22.04 and stable versions above should work so maybe that is not the issue?

I suggest trying this method of installation- http://www.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/VirtualBox

If you are having trouble, try using the repository for Virtualbox hosted by Oracle instead of the Mint/Ubuntu Virtualbox repository in your package manager.

Please try this and get back to us…

By the way, unless you sign the virtualbox kernel modules, you might have trouble getting virtualbox to work with Secure Boot. There is a way to do it, I have to look it up in my notes, but idk if that is your problem currently. If you have secure boot on your system, you can try turning it off and see if that fixes whatever issue this is.
