Tutorial: Install VirtualBox in Linux Ubuntu Using apt-get

Installation VirtualBox can do with command:

apt-get install virtualbox-ose vboxgtk

Also need to install kernel module. There are some kernel module option, ie:

• virtualbox-ose-modules-386
• virtualbox-ose-modules-generic
• virtualbox-ose-modules-openvz
• virtualbox-ose-modules-rt
• virtualbox-ose-modules-server
• virtualbox-ose-modules-virtual

For example:

apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic

Make sure <user> have access rights to directory /dev/vboxdrv

adduser <user> vboxusers

Or the other way a bit more brutal

chmod-Rf 777 /dev/vboxdrv

Restart VirtualBox

/etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose restart
