Bug Description

I just installed virtualbox and got an error/bug message. I started to set it up, but decided to wait until another time to do so because my son installed it for me on my other computer and it was asking me questions i didn't know how to answer, so i'm going to wait and finish the installation when he can talk me through it. I use virtualbox because there are several windows-based fractal programs that i like to use that do not, as far as i know, have linux versions available.
