Ultimate Edition Forum

I am trying to add virtual box to 1.8 via synaptic but find the list mind boggling. Can anyone offer any advice what I should mark for installation?
Thanks in advance

Is it not listed there under Add/Remove ?? (Not in Synaptic but under Apps)

No, I tried that first as it is easier.

Sorry Benbow...forgot I'm on the 32 bit edition...take it your on 64bit...going to reboot under 64bit also so I can see for sure what you're looking at be right back...

Hi Saddletramp
Well I am on 32 bit as well and it doesn't appear on my add/remove!

Looks like the one you want to install would be the 'virtualbox-ose'

Edit: your were posting same time as well....before you install anything...did you run the Upgrade Icon ??

Hi Saddle tramp
The last time I clicked upgrade it replaced my Ultimate Edition with Ubuntu Hardy basic. I am a bit nervous as to whether to do it again.

Awww man, that's no good!! Did you run it by selecting "Custom"?? That way you can 'select' what you wish to install...other wise what I had show up under "Add/Remove" when I was under 32bit was 'virtualbox-ose', so I figure that is the one to install under Synaptic

Yup! "Virtual box ose" is it and I thank you for your patience. I have been using Ultimate Edition since last November and Ubuntu for not much longer so I think I am still a bit green. Can you tell me what you mean by selecting "custom"?
Thanks again

I have virtual box running without any problems. The OSE version I believe doesn't allow usb support and a few other things. I downloaded the full version here: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=innotek-1.6-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI and like I said, no problems.
