upgrade to ubuntu 20.04 removed vboxweb-service.service

[jayshomebrew]

Any pointers would be helpful.
I updated my system to ubuntu 20.04, and now remotebox no longer works.

I'm just connecting to my localhost, and vboxdrv appears to not exist in 20.04.
I followed the documentation for ubuntu:
apt-get install libgtk2-perl libsoap-lite-perl freerdp-x11 tigervnc-viewer
works.

I updated /etc/default/virtualbox and added:

VBOXWEB_USER=jay
VBOXWEB_TIMEOUT=0
VBOXWEB_LOGFILE="/var/log/vboxwebservice.log"
VBOXWEB_HOST="192.168.1.40"

also

sudo chmod 644 /etc/default/virtualbox
touch /var/log/vboxwebservice.log

then tried:

sudo systemctl status vboxdrv
Unit vboxdrv.service could not be found.

also:

sudo service vboxweb-service status
Unit vboxweb-service.service could not be found.

So I'm stuck here.

Might be a stupid question, but you definately have VirtualBox installed right? Those files belong to the VirtualBox package. Are you using a VirtualBox package made by Ubuntu or the official VirtualBox one?

Yes, its the ubuntu package. I didn't realize that when I upgraded to 20.04, it disabled the other repositories, thus installed the ubuntu package.

Here's how I fixed it:

sudo apt remove virtualbox
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
REPO=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] $REPO $(lsb_release -cs) contrib"
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install virtualbox-6.1
