I ran into an odd situation today when I installed Virtualbox on a fresh install of LL2.2. I installed virtualbox from the "Install Additional Software" in the system menu. When I finish installing it says virtualbox can be found in the menu under system. I look and it is not there, so I open Install/Remove Software and type virtualbox in the search box and find that it didn't install the gui. I install the gui "virtualbox-qt", close the package manager and start a backup copy of a virtual machine with win xp on it, and i get an error telling me it can't find the kernel module. After closing virtualbox I reopen the package manager and install "virtualbox-dkms", I was not sure this would fix the problem, but it seems to have worked. I was able to start up my virtual xp and haven't had any problems yet.

Hopefully this will help others with this problem.

Hi guys, I'm new to Linux, long time Windows user. Linux Light looks really good, very easy to get around in. I still need to run Windows apps for work. I'm wondering if you have a 'walk through' on how I can install Virtualbox or any other good VM software so I can run up a few Windows machines.

The more pictures and hand holding the better ;-)

Thanks again.
