Virtualbox manager

Post by Bumble57 »

Hello VirtualBox Team,

just upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and installed the new VirtualBox Version 5.0.20 r106931.
Starting the VirtualBox there is no more VirtualBox manager, it starts directly to the virtual machine (in my case XP).

Any ideas why? I'm missing the manager because I can't even export or import appliances.

Best regards
Christian

What happens if you open a terminal and type virtualbox then press enter?

Hello Perryg,

thanks for your answer. Via terminal by typing virtualbox and enter, the manager opens.

Then your shortcut that you used to use is no longer valid. Use the search function in the ubuntu programs and find the right one.
