I cannot get VirtualBox to install on my Ubuntu Linux machine. I type in sudo apt install virtualbox And it reads the dependency tree and asks me if I want to install 161 MB of information. I confirm, and get the following string of error codes: Do you want to continue?

I recently installed Oracle Virtualbox from their website on Xubuntu 15.04 64-bit. Specifically, Virtualbox 5.0.4. However, when I try to install a virtual machine, it only gives me the option to install a 32-bit OS (as seen below). Is there a way to allow 64-bit OSes?

My Ubuntu 12.04.1 running on virtualbox ran out of space while I was installing software on it and now it is . I've got files I need to recover from it. I have the ubuntu64.vdi file on my Windows 7 (host) laptop and I was wondering if there is any way of recovering the files from the vdi file. In parallel, I generated a fresh 12.04.1 machine on virtualbox in the same laptop, and I'll use that one instead of the borked one. I can add the borked vdi to the list of disks in the working one. Then I used gnome nautilus to mount the borked disk. I can find the files in there, but they are about 2 months old. I think this coincides with the last time that I did a virtualbox snapshot of the machine, but not the last time I got a working machine, which was yesterday. Is there any way of mounting the vdi as of yesterday, just before it crashed? EDITED: Here is what Virtual Media Manager tells me about my ubuntu64.vdi file:  EDITED2: I copied my ubuntu.vdi to an external USB with plenty of disk space. I tried using Windows to clone it, but got an error:  I tried the same from the working VM via a shared folder of the USB drive, and it started the cloning. Took a good while, but finished successfully: root@precise64:/media/sf_E_DRIVE/copy_of_ubuntu64_vm_folder_20140224/ubuntu64#  VBoxManage clonehd ubuntu64.vdi ubuntu64.raw --format RAW 0%...  10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100% Clone hard disk created in format 'RAW'.

I have already dual systems : Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on my laptop. The Windows 7 had been installed when I bought this laptop, and I don't have a CD.  I just installed VitrualBox under Ubuntu, hoping that I could install another Windows in this virtual machine, so that I could run some applications of Windows even under Ubuntu.  But it seems that I need a CD or ISO of Windows to boot inside this virtual machine. Otherwise, there is an error: FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted. My question is where I could find a CD or ISO?  At the moment, I am downloading ISO from this , but do not know if it will work. By the way, I am not sure if I should pick the 32-bit or 64-bit? As my CPU is 64-bit but my Ubuntu is i386.  Could anyone help? Thank you very much.

Yesterday I was trying update my OS from 12.04 to 14.04.  This was done in my VirtualBox. I left the terminal open and continuing downloading during the night.  This morning when I came to my office, I saw the screen of my VirtualBox Ubuntu was deadlocked, I can't do any operation to it, it stays at some chromium interface I viewed last night.   So I forced restart it, and then I found I was enter into the interface of 14.04 . After I logged in, several error box popped out. But after I installed VirtualBox GuestAddtion package. No more error box popped out when I enter the GUI at the recently log-ins.  But I was still worried about if there may be some lethal bugs left when updating, at least it wasn't ended at an normal way.  So, is there a way that I can check if my update was complete?

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 from Windows, using virtualbox 5.0. I tried several options to make size of Ubuntu in virtual box larger, but none helped so far.   I am using latest virtual box with latest guest add on installed. sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 I went to Ubuntu 'software and Updates' and made sure that under 'Additional Drivers' tab, 'using x86 visualization solution...' is active. In virtualbox window, under view->virtual screen 1, all 'resize to' options are disabled.   None of these options helped. This is frustrating. Any comments or help? Can the problem be I am using 64 bit system? Does this problem occurs in earlier/later versions? If not, please suggest a 'good' version of Ubuntu for virtualbox.

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 using Virtual Box in my Windows XP. I have use Ubuntu 11.10 iso to install it. First time when I installed every thing was fine but when I shutdown the VirtualBox and start Ubuntu again, it asks me to install Ubuntu and try Ubuntu without installing.  Do I need to do some extra settings?

What did I do wrong?

I have been using VMWare on Windows for a long time. But after a long wait, I moved to VirtualBox on Ubuntu 11.10. I installed Ubuntu, 32 Bit, installed all available updates and installed Virtual Box. When I try to create a new Windows installation inside VirtualBox, I got the following error messages.  VirtualBox - Error  Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows XP. The virtual machine '**Windows XP**' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.

I have already tried reinstalling VirtualBox. Google result seem to indicate the the problem happens due to Kernel updates.   Is there anyway I can get this working? I need this for malware analysis and if VirtualBox is going to crash on me all the time, then I won't be able to use Ubuntu for work.

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)      The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or   there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the   kernel module by executing      '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'      as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install   the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel   changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.   This is a familiar message to everyone that uses Virtual Box. This "bug" has been popping up every few months at least since 11.10. I got it today for the first time on 14.04 and unfortunately the  of re-installing virtualbox-dkms is not having any effect:  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-dkms sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms   What could be the reason for this old fix to fail?  Update: In the comments user bain makes reference to an old thread that apparently reports to the same problem. While the error message is similar, on Ubuntu 14.04 this issue seems to have a different nature, unrelated to the virtualbox-dkms package. For instance, on Ubuntu 14.04 the virtualbox package is up to date:  $ sudo apt-cache policy virtualbox virtualbox:   Installed: 4.3.10-dfsg-1   Candidate: 4.3.10-dfsg-1   Version table:  *** 4.3.10-dfsg-1 0         500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I am installing on VirtualBox on Mac.  During install it asks: Erase disk and install Ubuntu  Question: Is it asking about the virtual disk - hopefully. Is it safe to answer OK?
