First of all, if you're going to use VirtualBox with Ubuntu, and either dual-boot, or even if Ubuntu is the only thing on your machine, you will probably need to deal with EUFI Secure Boot. For example, if you have a Hewlett Packard system, you'll find instructions [https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04784866 here] for enabling and disabling Secure Boot. (hint; hit <kbd>F10</kbd> at POST). While you're in your system setup (aka "BIOS" although it's not BIOS anymore) make sure you enable [[wp:X86_virtualization#Intel_virtualization_(VT-x)|VT-x]] / VT-d | |||

The packaged version of VirtualBox on Ubuntu 17.10 is older than the upstream (like normal) so you should just add the ppa for Oracle. | |||
