I am running Ubuntu 8.04 AMD 64. I managed to reinstall Virtual Box, this time version 2.1.4 from the version I downloaded from their website.
I have not upgraded Ubuntu as I prefer to have something that is well-supported and stable, as well as having at least some of the latest software. Currently I cannot get VLC reinstalled, due to dependency errors. Is there a log file that I can look at that lists all that the system did when it reinstalled the nvidia drivers and deleted many other programs?
