Hi
Today I’ll post how to configure / use the Oracle VM virtual box on Ubuntu / debian distro , first we gonna need to do some actions to prepare our system , we gonna use the oracle virtual box packaged version and add to the repo the sources , install the key , etc…
1. Download & Install Headers of your kernel
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
2. This command adds virtual box repository and install vmvirtualbox
sudo sh -c “echo ‘deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian ‘$(lsb_release -cs)’ contrib non-free’ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list” && wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add – && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.3 dkms
3.You’re done , if the process fails please read the info at the end of post
Info:
if this process doesn’t work please run before installing linux headers the following command , usually the error is
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908), please execute
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
This command rebuilds the virtual box kernel driver
See you all!
