Taufan >>> That matches exactly what I'm using. Last night I tried installing virtualbox according to the instructions in the ubuntu community docs at <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox?highlight=%28virtualbox%29>, which gives instructions for building and installing the kernel modules. But I ran into this: ##################### Done with /usr/src/virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic_1.5.0-dfsg2-1ubuntu3+2.6.22-15.54_i386.deb . dpkg -Ei /usr/src/virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic_1.5.0-dfsg2-1ubuntu3+2.6.22-15.54_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic. dpkg: regarding .../virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic_1.5.0-dfsg2-1ubuntu3+2.6.22-15.54_i386.deb containing virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic: virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic conflicts with virtualbox-ose-modules virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic provides virtualbox-ose-modules and is to be installed. dpkg: error processing /usr/src/virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic_1.5.0-dfsg2-1ubuntu3+2.6.22-15.54_i386.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic Errors were encountered while processing: /usr/src/virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic_1.5.0-dfsg2-1ubuntu3+2.6.22-15.54_i386.deb ################### Reading around this topic, it seemed that there is a packaging problem; but I don't know enough to see whether that's the issue above, or whether I've done something that caused this build to fail. Anyway, I've just tried to 'purge' my previous attempts, and had another go with sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-generic But towards the end of the installation I still get Setting up virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic (6) ... * Starting VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found. * Modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why. Given the trouble I'm having installing virtualbox on this machine (and potential issues about USB and networking), I'm going to research this a bit more, and either try setting up virtualbox on my Hardy machine, or checking out the VMware alternative.
