Since VirtualBox 4.n the original packages from the producers are under GPL2, I.e it's open source, If you are not dependent on USB 2.0 you might get along without the PUEL-Extensionpack, Licensefree.
There is quite a number of bugfixes since the OSE packages provided in Maverick -> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog On another hand there were quite significant changes made within the Release of Natty 11.04 You could install these via http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads Read further down there as it describes how to incorporate the external source into the package managment of Ubuntu Remenber to uninstall all virtualbox-ose related packages beforehand. To my personal regret I have to admit my understanding that this underlies the SRU (StableReleasesUpdates) commitment within Ubuntu/Canonical to decide not to backport the newer version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683322 Title: gnome fails to boot to desktop completely with natty in virtualbox -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
