vboxmanage missing from 1.6.2 (Ubuntu host)

Hallo,

I upgraded to VirtualBox 1.6.2 and was trying to clone a guest system. Unfortunately when I try to run vboxmanage I get the following:

Code: Select all

The program 'vboxmanage' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
bash: vboxmanage: command not found

Now, to install the ose version I need to uninstall version 1.6.2 loosing the USB support

Is there any way to get a vboxmanage installer that can be used to clone 1.6.2 (and possibly future) guests?

thank you so much,

Linux is case sensitive, try 'VBoxManage' instead. You can see if you have the command by typing first (few) letter(s) and hit tab once or twice.
