Not so sure if the virtualbox sage has got all the sources. IIRC, the 
virtualbox sage is also stuck at 5.1 for various reasons. I am not sure if 
the virtualbox Linux installation has an environment set up for 
development. Probably vbraun can give some insight into that. This is 
important because the virtualbox sage is a bit old and the new UI can be 
most easily set up,as described below, in sage-5.4beta1 (the latest dev 
release of sage). 

The new UI will run only on sage-5.2 and up. For sage-5.2 and 5.3, you will 
need to install a bunch of patches to the Sage library. All these patches 
have been integrated into the sage-5.4.beta1. In sage-5.4beta1, all one 
needs to do is

1. clone the git repository of samuela's sagenb, by (for example) issuing 
the commands
cd SAGE_ROOT/devel
git clone g...@github.com:samuela/sagenb sagenb-git

2. switch over the SAGE_ROOT/devel/sagenb symbolic link to the git version 
of samuela's sagenb, by using
rm sagenb && ln -s sagenb-git sagenb

3. change directory to SAGE_ROOT/devel/sagenb,
cd sagenb

4. run the command
../../sage -python setup.py develop


Then the new UI will be functional. There are still some bugs which needs 
ironing out. So, if you have the time and energy to tinker around, do join 
in in fixing the bugs! :)
