This page will log every action taken on software downloads, installation, and setup.

This page started using debian 13.1 (trixie) but as of 10/19/25, this is too new for various other packages I want to use, IE virtualbox, minecraft, etc. I am backing off to 12.12 (bookworm) for the purpose of getting to know the system better and not having to deal with upgrade pains at the same time.

Initial setup

11/9/25 install standard utils

apt install curl openssh-server screen -y

install brave

curl -fsS https://dl.brave.com/install.sh | sh

Minecraft

wget "https://launcher.mojang.com/download/Minecraft.tar.gz"

getvbox

*** This is not working yet, debian 13 has incompatibilities with virtualbox 7.2 that looks like is still being worked on as of 10/19/25. The possible fixes listed in this thread did not work for me. *** https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=113902&start=30 Keep using virtualbox on Ubuntu until this has been resolved.

wget -O- -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc | sudo gpg --dearmour -o /usr/share/keyrings/oracle_vbox_2016.gpg

For bookworm

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oracle_vbox_2016.gpg] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bookworm contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list

For trixie

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oracle_vbox_2016.gpg] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian trixie contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install virtualbox-7.2 -y

wget https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.2.2/Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.2.2.vbox-extpack

sudo vboxmanage extpack install Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.2.2.vbox-extpack

sudo usermod -aG vboxusers $USER

Reboot and VM sessions should now start, just debian 12 for now
