I cannot work out how to install this package. It isn't deb or tar or whatever. If I double click I get an error msg. Please, how do I upgrade to this package?
BTW I am using Ubuntu 8.04

It's a self-extracting executable script. Do
Code: Select all
sh VirtualBox-1.6.4-Linux_amd64.run
Why not use the .deb for Ubuntu 8.04?

Ahhhh! I must have been having a blonde moment. I realize now I downloaded the Linux AMD64 version, instead of Ubuntu AMD64.
Tks for your quick reply. I am d/l the deb now.
