Hello all,I'm fairly new to #! but already fell in love.Here's a rather fresh install of #! Waldorf.Now I ran into a dependencies problem while trying to install virtualbox. I followed http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/howto/virtualbox and had to fiddle with the public key.

Well, I've seen a lot of people having trouble with VirtualBox, me included. Here is the process of installing Oracle VM VirtualBox correctly on Fedora 18 Spherical Cow.

Go to the VirtualBox website and navigate to the Downloads page.

I have freshly installed 64 bit Win 7 and 12.04 ubuntu dual boot machine (via a wubi install).

VirtualBox 4.2 Guest Additions 37 weeks 5 days ago

Can't say I use virtualbox for anything too exciting - and I have never even checked for a wiki page...Setup goes like this for me:1. install virtualbox from community repo# pacman -Syy virtualbox2. Add vboxdrv to modules (only has to be done once) and load module# tee /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf <<< "vboxdrv"

# modprobe vboxdrv3.

I added a repo by putting a file in

/etc/apt/sources.list.d

and then i did an

apt-get update.

However it didn't do anything with that repo. I then noticed that it didn't appear to be including any of the repos in that directory. Only stuff in /etc/apt/sources.list seem to be noticed by apt-get.

When i run sudo apt-get update on ubuntu 12.04, it return following error(output limited to error).
