ubuntu 14.04 server Virtualbox 5

[Bert7]

Hi Folks,

when i install Virtualbox 5 then i don't have any configfiles.

The /etc/vbox and /etc/default folder is empty.

How can i solve this?

Thanks for any hints

Where did you download the VirtualBox "5.x.x" from? Note that there is no "5", so far there is "5.0.#". You have to be precise. If you downloaded it from the Ubuntu software center, it is not supported in these forums. You have to download the official one from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads .

I did it from you sorce and with apt-get install virtualbox-5.0.

After apt-get purge and apt-get install
cat /var/log/vbox-install.log

Looks good so far. So does VirtualBox work?

What happens if you run the following on the host

Code: Select all

VBoxManage -v
