I am running Crunchbang Linux (Waldorf), a distribution based on Debian Wheezy. I downloaded the most recent virtualbox from here
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
, which is VirtualBox 5.1 for Linux. I run the command
sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-5.1_5.1.0-108711~Debian~wheezy_i386.deb
And here is the entire output:
(Reading database ... 196982 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking virtualbox-5.1 (from .../virtualbox-5.1_5.1.0-108711~Debian~wheezy_i386.deb) ...
Setting up virtualbox-5.1 (5.1.0-108711~Debian~wheezy) ...
addgroup: The group `vboxusers' already exists as a system group. Exiting.
Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme ...
Processing triggers for shared-mime-info ...
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
When I enter the command
virtualbox
I get the following error message:
Qt FATAL: This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".
Available platform plugins are: xcb.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
I installed the package xcb
but no change. Any suggestions?
