LUbuntu 18.04

Post by JEBjames »

I noticed that VirtualBox now has Ubuntu 18.04 bionic packages available. :D

Code: Select all

sudo su
grep download.virtualbox.org /etc/apt/sources.list || printf "\ndeb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic contrib\n" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | apt-key add -
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install -y virtualbox-5.2
I can't comment about performance. This pc doesn't have any space so I just grabbed an old laptop hard drive from spare parts bin #6 and usb mounted it to my /home/myuser/VirtualBox VMs directory.

I ran my test script that creates 4 vms, mounts 4 different isos, then does four installs at once.

Everything seems fine. :D 8)
