VirtualBox install help

[Jockboy98295]

I installed VirtualBox through Ubuntu's automatic install program (i cant remember what its called, sorry), seems like a great program. But i found it didn't install libxalan-c and libxerces-c and need some help finding and installing both. I also am unable to add the Innotek public key to my sources.list, it has the repository but will not download from it. I am currently running Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn x386 on a 64 bit AMD and I installed VirtualBox 1.4.0. I am kinda new to Ubuntu, so please be "gentle" :)

Thanks

If you used synaptic to install virtualbox then it is downloading from the virtualbox repos as virtualbox isn't in the Ubuntu Repos

[Jockboy98295]

I used GDebi Package Installer because i didnt want to download it to my desktop

[tgm4883]

Did you download the key then add the key from the same directory using apt-key add innotek.asc

You might have to sudo that

[Jockboy98295]

i tried to download the key from the virtual box web site, but it will not let me download it. It just brings the key up in a different window. I have tried to add the key through synaptic, but it requires that i download a key specific file, so it wont work either. I tried apt-key add innotek.asc like the VB website says but of course nothing just this error

logan@logan-desktop:~$ apt-key add innotek.asc
gpg: can't open `innotek.asc': No such file or directory

When you sudo it the same error occurs.

I also tried to add the key via a web site like this

wget -q http://www.virtualbox.org/debian/Innotek.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

but you get this error

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.


not sure what to do. :(

[Jockboy98295]

ok tried it again this is what happened


logan@logan-desktop:~$ wget -k http://www.virtualbox.org/debian/innotek.asc -O---15:23:04-- http://www.virtualbox.org/debian/innotek.asc

Then i tried to add it with the "apt-key add Innotek.asc" it says it dosent exist. Could it have saved it as something else, or am I doing it wrong?

[tgm4883]

right click on it and say save as

[Jockboy98295]

I'm in the terminal, that option is not given.

However i just got it to work by inputting this code

logan@logan-desktop:~$ apt-key add innotek.asc | wget -k http://www.virtualbox.org/debian/innotek.asc

However i still do not have "libxalan-c" or "libxerces-c". Do you know where i can get them?
I tried updating VB but it did nothing and these files are not listed in synaptic or add/remove.

[tgm4883]

sudo apt-get install libxalan-c libxerces-c libstdc++

[Jockboy98295]

when i run that command it says it cannot find libxerces-c, libxalan-c
I have libstc++6 installed

Where can i find these?

[tgm4883]

did you sudo apt-get update after adding the new repo?

[Jockboy98295]

I finally got those files to install, and update. They were labeled with version numbers (duh) so they didnt look correct, and didnt match what i typed in. I had tried the apt-get update.
Now i'm trying to figure out how to put myself into the vboxusers group, the documentation is not very clear.

[tgm4883]

system > administration > users and groups

[Jockboy98295]

I cant believe i didn't think of that!!

why would i get this warning when i start VB from the terminal--

logan@logan-desktop:~$ VirtualBox
Qt WARNING: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
Major opcode: 147
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Qt WARNING: Failed to open device
Qt WARNING: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
Major opcode: 147
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Qt WARNING: Failed to open device

VB still opens and it seems like everything is operating just fine, but i dont really like to see errors, unless this is something i need not worry about.

[tgm4883]

Don't know, 1.4 is still a little buggy. I get that error too

[Jockboy98295]

OK
Thank you for your help, and patience.
I'll inform you of any problems when i actually get XP installed on it. I currently only have an upgrade disk and no other operating system to show that i had a different win OS installed.
Good luck :)
