Ubuntu Linux Install Virtualbox 3 .deb file
I usually come here as a last resort and probably should come here first. But if its Debian I go there and Ubuntu here. This is not a rant, but rather spoken from the perspective of who desires answers in ABC rather then calculus! I am sure I am not only one.
Ok now my question. 1. I had 9.04 with VB working fine, but had to re-install 9.04 and download the i386 version ubuntu. HOWEVER something changed. Befored I got the Blue box Sun icon and it was a breeze. 2. This time I received what you see in attachment. attempted to extract to load was told by 2 different forums that was unnecessary all I need to do was "run" it see what I mean by talking calculus rather then ABC Ok Jay I know you are ready with the ABC's Thanks to all on this forum

77,
Try this. Open a terminal. And type this: Code:
prompt>sudo dpkg -i Desktop/virtualbox-3.0_3.0.10-54097_Ubuntu_jaunty_i386.deb Jaysunn

Actually,
If you just downloaded the file type this: Code:
jason@jason-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -i Downloads/virtualbox-3.0_3.0.10-54097_Ubuntu_karmic_i386.deb

77,
Use the package manager to install this software. Like I posted above. Should do the trick. Here it is again: Code:
jason@jason-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get -f install virtualbox-3.0 Jaysunn

Also, try latest Ubuntu 9.10, it has easy to use and install software center. You can just search for software and than click install button.

Great Work,
Man I have to say that you have impressed me. I started to think that what if 9.0.4 did not have Virtual Box in the Repository. I was just about to teach you how to edit the apt-get sources list. when I came across this, I will post it for others: Code:
sudo apt-get update wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get install virtualbox-3.0 When I just read your last post. Quote:
