Eine neue Version vom beliebten Virtualisierer ist im Netz aufgetaucht. Im Prinzip schon ein „must have“ für Ubuntu User die ab und zu auch noch ein anderes OS nebenher laufen haben. Eine typische Zweitinstallation auf eine gesonderte Partition mit Bootloader mache ich schon lange nicht mehr. Ein wenig RAM sollte aber für einen störungsfreien Betrieb eingeplant werden.
Im wesentlichen handelt es sich hier um Updates und Fehlerbeseitigungen. Viel Spass beim Virtualisieren.
Ein Update geht wie immer schnell über den Paketmanager oder manuell über das deb paket.
für 10.10. Ubuntu sind folgende Sachen nötig.
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick contrib
Der key
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Paketupdate
sudo apt-get update
Programmupdate
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.0
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
* GUI: don’t crash if a removable host drive referenced from the VM settings vanished
