VirtualBox Extension cannot be installed

Support Third-party Applications

Before you ask, I have visited the topic here:

But the issue for me is that I cannot connect to oracle servers by the terminal (403 error)

So, I managed to download the extension pack from the VirtualBox website and double-click on it

It prompts for an installation and agreeing to the Lisence Agreement, which I did and it asked for a password. Which was given correctly, then it gave me this error:

    Failed to install the Extension Pack /home/arshiaaghaei/Desktop/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.14.vbox-extpack.

The installer failed with exit code 1: [sudo] password for arshiaaghaei: sudo: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxExtPackHelperApp --stdout /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-0t7e79/stdout --stderr /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-0t7e79/stderr --elevated install --base-dir /usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks --cert-dir /usr/share/virtualbox/ExtPackCertificates --name 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' --tarball /home/arshiaaghaei/Desktop/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.14.vbox-extpack --sha-256 b224e796e886b19bce69f0aaedf6ca82bad0ca29c61fb0ed86166efb84356942: command not found

I tried using FIle->Preferences->Extension

It shows there is just the VNC Extension, which I installed mistaking with the extension pack
I even uninstalled it and re-tried the process with the same error happening

But for the sake of making sure, I’ll paste it here:

Why is this happening, exactly?

2

Is the virtualbox package installed? Does /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxExtPackHelperApp in your filesystem?

3

Yes, I installed it

Yes, it does.

4

Have you tried installing virtualbox-ext-oracle from the AUR? Or other methods described in the linked thread? Please include why a particular method didn’t work in your post.

5

Yeah, it results in 403 error.

I used the manual method, the double clicking on the extension file method.

None worked. The errors were a part of those methods.

6

Have you tried this?

Result

Terminal result:

Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to install "/home/arshiaaghaei/Desktop/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.14.vbox-extpack"
VBoxManage: error: Extension pack 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' is already installed. In case of a reinstallation, please uninstall it first

OK, it seems to have actually worked.
The Extensions list was not updating, I had to relaunch it
