Hi there,

Support for VirtualBox 6.1 has not shipped yet and will be included in the next release. Downgrading VirtualBox to 6.0.x until the next release is available will resolve this issue.

Cheers!

Unfortunately VirtualBox 6.0 is not available for Ubuntu 19.10, so it would be great if the next release could be issued soon.

@RogerE The next release is coming soon (within the next few days). We have been in the process of updating our release pipeline which is just about complete. The next release will be pushed out as soon as everything has been finalized.

Cheers!

Thanks @chrisroberts, appreciated!

@RogerE You can also use this workaround while we all wait for a new release:

I've tested it myself and works great!

[RogerE]

@eurico-goncalves thanks for the tip, but the release of Virtualbox 6.0.16 a few days ago solved it for me since that works with Ubuntu 19.10.
