5 of 15 files downloaded during installation, then it stops

Post by skunkbad »

No matter how I try to install Virtualbox on this Ubuntu 9.04, it gives me an error that some files were not downloadable. This is a fresh install of Ubuntu. Any hints?

I am using virtualbox-3.0_3.0.6 52128_Ubuntu_jaunty_i386.deb, and also from package manager.

I'm just trying to install Virtualbox. I downloaded the package, and when I click on it, it brings me to a box to install it. When I click to install, it downloads 5 files, and then says the others are 404 missing in action. So, if the files are missing, then where can I find them? Or maybe there is something else I need to do?

This laptop does have internet connectivity. So, it is for sure not the connection. It seems like maybe the files that virtualbox needs to install are missing.

That would be a problem for Ubuntu to handle. The archive is coming from them.
If you can not get it to work then go to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and get the full (PUEL) version. Especially if you want USB support.
