virtualbox not showing up in applications after installing package
I recently installed VirtualBox via the official website using the provided .deb installer. It installed and showed up within the Application Menu. However, after starting up a new iso it output an error that rendered VirtualBox useless (which I couldn't seem to fix at all). So I completely purged and installed the latest version through the Terminal.
sudo apt autoremove --purge virtualbox*
sudo apt update
sudo apt install virtualbox=5.2.18-dfsg-2~ubuntu18.04.1
After installing though, I noticed that the application does not show up in the Application Menu. I have no idea why I can't seem to find VirtualBox at all, so this is very annoying.
All help is appreciated.
