Install VirtualBox on Ubuntu 14.04


Rakesh KR

I downloaded virtualbox from here . I tried to install it by running the following command

sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-4.3_4.3.20-96996~Ubuntu~raring_i386.deb

and during installation an error occurs as follows:

Selecting previously unselected package virtualbox-4.3.
(Reading database ... 345499 files and directories currently installed.)

How to solve?

Leopard

dpkg doesn't manage dependencies.

so now

sudo apt-get install -f

then reinstall

sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-4.3_4.3.20-96996~Ubuntu~raring_i386.deb

Otherwise, I totally agree with the recommendation to use KVM (virt-manager) instead of virtualbox, and if you must use virtualbox, install it from the repositories.

See : http://virt-manager.org/ _

The advantage of virt-manager is that it is open source and requires no third-party code. Although virtualbox is in the repositories, not all features available for virtualbox are open source.
