The --oracle-repo command line option failed

Support

I’m on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

My PC is quite old. It was built in 2015 my PC specs are

AMD FX 4300 quad core CPU (which was released in 2012),

AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB GDDR5,

16GB DDR3 ram,

Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard which was released in 2013. And back in October I installed an SSD when I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and wow indeed it’s like a new computer! Boots up so fast now wow!

So yeah I entered

bash ./whonix-xfce-installer-cli --oracle-repo

And this is what I got back

Do you need the user log and debug log, how do I give you that?

Reply for users:

In case of Whonix Linux Installer issues, Whonix can be installed according to the following documentation: Whonix for Windows, macOS, Linux inside VirtualBox can be used as alternative.

(In that case, no use of Whonix Linux Installer required.)

Reply for contributors:

Most likely, this isn’t caused by --oracle-repo and would also happen without --oracle-repo option.

In the new version - which I’ve uploaded just now - there should be a more helpful error message. The error message would be as follows:

whonix-xfce-installer-cli: [ERROR]: Package Upgrade Simulation: Package upgrades available.

Please upgrade your operating system first. Otherwise this installer cannot proceed.

sudo apt-get full-upgrade 

The user is advised to attempt to debug this with the following steps:
1. Run above command as root (with sudo).
2. If there is an issue, use search engines, documentation and if needed
   contact the support of your operating system.
3. Once this has been fixed fixed, re-run this installer.

Could you please try the new version and see if the error message was improved? If not, please provide the debug log. (It’s should be mentioned in the console output.)

This one you can fix with:

sudo apt-get full-upgrade

This is a (for now) Ubuntu specific feature, which we haven’t considered during development for Whonix Linux Installer.

Two options:

  • A) Upgrade ubuntu-drivers-common.
  • B) Try the --noupdate command line option. So the full command line would be:

This:

bash ./whonix-xfce-installer-cli --oracle-repo --noupdate

(This probably results in ignoring the pending phased Ubuntu package update.)

(Optional. Not required for understanding this very forum post. Additinoal background only. We considered stages/phased updates for Whonix too: staged rollouts / staged upgrades / phased updates)

Patrick, so I used the GUI option, I went into apps and ran the app “Software Updater” and then just to be sure I did this in Terminal

sudo apt-get full-upgrade

and then I did

bash ./whonix-xfce-installer-cli --oracle-repo

And this time it worked, everything was a green Notice across the board. Except it installed VirtualBox 7.0.16

Here’s the output in case you’re curious

So did it install VirtualBox from the Oracle repository?

I really don’t wanna use VirtualBox 7.0 anymore because it’s not supported anymore, support for it ended in March.

vbox 7.0
vbox 7.01920×634 93.3 KB

5

Is it safe to use VirtualBox 7.0? I mean it’s no longer supported.

6

No.

That’s bug.

I’ll post an update once there is one.
