virtualbox.org

(sorry, no time yesterday to try out anything) In short: It worked. And it was really easy. Once one has the right plan in mind, that is. Now I wonder how I managed NOT to manage for such a long time - but I did learn a lot about Ubuntu this way, no doubt about that. :idea: Thank you very much for y...

I managed to get rid of the additional versions without difficulties - I almost can't believe it ... Thank you so much, at least that much is solved now. As for vbox: I get an error message informing me that there would be conflicting packages between vbox and vbox - ?? If I deinstalled everything c...

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I was worried it might matter, and I wouldn't be seeing the right list or something like that.

I'll try it tomorrow,
good night for now,

umm ... I can't find anything called "linux-kernel-image-2.6.24-19-whatever, only
linux-image2.6.24-19-generic etc.

I know that I'm clueless. Sorry. But I have enough braincells left to suspect that I shouldn't tick off the wrong ones, here.

Thanks for your help!

Sasquatch, you give me hope ... It would take me quite long to re-install all the programs in my vbox that aren't linux-compatible ... I sure didn't delete any vdi-files. I tried the command line again, without success I downloaded the package via sun, but can't install it. The message is "Coul...

output is could not find virtualbox. please reinstall. :cry: I'm still quite new to ubuntu - I think there's no advice concerning deinstallation in the manual. Do you happen to know a good link? (I never had to deinstall anything before, actually) I assume there's no way to rescue the XP installatio...

Maybe someone can help me with this issue? I used vbox for a while without any problems, until I installed a kernel upgrade for my hardy heron. (Yes, that old problem). Meanwhile, I managed some improvement, since the command sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv status produces now "VirtualBox kernel modul...

thanks for your instructions!

So far, I didn't manage, though. Maybe I didn't click enough packages? Do I need everything with 2.6.24-19 in it? There are a few - are there others that need to be included?

Thanks again,
mala

Thanks for answering!

The first line you suggested produced the output that linux-headers-2.6.24-19 are already the current version.
The second one got me exactly the same results as before.

Any further suggestions, please?

forgot to mention: I didn't hear about Xen before (just visited wikipedia). I'm not aware of it running on my system, but vbox worked fine for several weeks, so why would it matter?
(once more: truly a newbie)

Thanks for your reply! ls /dev/ does not list vboxdrv. After trying the line you suggested, sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start produces "No suitable module for running kernel found" sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv status produces "VirtualBox kernel module is not loaded" I don't know what to...

I am quite the newbie, please consider this if you answer :wink: After a long time without connection to the internet, hardy heron updated quite thoroughly - after which I could not use vbox any longer. I found a description for this issue under #1622 . I had the same problem as user timtripcony, I ...
