    So I went into "/var/log/vbox-install.log" and got this:
    "Makefile:75: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop."
    That's because you don't have your build essentials installed. Run the following command in the terminal then try re-installing virtual box.
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
    @tgpfx I ran into the same problem but can't remember what I did to get it working under Hardy Heron beta. Now that I did a fresh install, I just can't figure for now what I did to get it working. I'll give it a go when I get home and post back my results.

    I get this message too, when trying to enter the settings of my VM:

    For those getting the USB error, if you had followed the HowTo as described, you still will get the error message cropping up UNTIL you reboot. For those who haven't, here's the directions again:

    Enter
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
    in the terminal (substitute gedit with either kedit/kate/kwrite if you're using Kubuntu). Scroll down to the following lines
    #
    # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
    #
    #mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
    #domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
    #ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
    #mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
    remove the # mark from mkdir down to mount so it looks now like this
    #
    # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
    #
    mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
    domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
    ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
    mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
    The HowTo states to log out and back in, but the changes won't fully work UNTIL you reboot. So, restart and you'll notice that the error message no longer appears.


    On a side note, can anyone tell me why I can't get Internet using NAT on the xp guest in Virtual box? I'm thinking of purging everything and starting afresh.

    I have it working - but I was not able to figure a way to get WXP to use the other Hard disk partitions for getting a file into word, etc. Is this possible?

    Try adding that folder as part of the shared folders in the settings section of that virtual machine before it's booted up. There are other ways to do it, but I opted for that method. To me, it's the easiest.

    Can you give me a quick course on how to do that? I looked and don't see how to add a folder when I bring that up. I enabled guest extras, but the only thing that shows up is the primary master.

    This guide is wonderful, I think if you add a section about adding host networking then that would be great.

    Because NAT case will not help me when I am testing some configuration/services like web server, asterisk etc or using remote login with xp-pro installed in virtualbox.

    Re: How To: Install VirtualBox on Ubuntu 8.04LTS (Hardy Heron) [Tutorial]

    Thanks so much for the wonderful directions. I'm very new to Ubuntu, so those helped a lot. To betray my ignorance further, how does one start virtualbox after setting it up this way?

    Installing the ose version from the repository produces an icon under applications, but after installing virtualbox the way suggested in this thread, I don't see an equivalent icon or anything and I don't yet have the savvy to know what else to try .

    Thanks so much!
