I am a serious Noob when it comes to Linux and I am trying to get VirtualBox up and running, I installed the one from the repositories through add/remove applications, but I kept having problems with the mouse capture. So I tried installing it from Sun's website by using the package installer, but I get this error when I try to install.
dpkg: error processing /tmp/virtualbox-2.1_2.1.4-42893_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/lib/modules/2.6.24-23-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko',which is also in package virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-23-generic
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
I think something went wrong having the one installed and then installing the newer version. But I have since uninstalled the version from the repositories, and the newer version still doesn't get installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I looked in the misc folder and there are no files in there at all to overwrite.
