Note: On upgrading Virtual Box to a newer version we also have to manually upgrade the extension pack. Replace with the path to your downloaded extension pack and use the option -replace in case you have an older version of the extension pack already installed. To install an extension pack from command line we run the following command VBoxManage extpack install Install is done by double click or with the Virtual Box Manager GUI under File -> Preferences -> Extensions: Note: Extension packs always need to be for the same Virtual Box version. You have to visit the Oracle Virtual Box Download page to obtain the present download link with Virtual Box and the current of the extension pack available for download. To gain extended functionality such as USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 support or support for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) you can make your Virtual Box installation closed source ( see the Personal Use and Evaluation License) by downloading the Oracle Virtual Box Extension Pack. If you don't want to compile the kernel driver every time your kernel updates it is also recommended to install dkms by: sudo apt-get install dkms Replace -5.0 by the current Virtual Box release. Install Virtual Box via the Software Center or command line sudo apt-get install virtual-box-5.0 Udate your sources cache sudo apt-get update Download and install the signature key wget -q -O- | sudo apt-key add. You may also read notes on how a repository or a PPA works.
For 64-bit multiarch systems we add the repository with ( source here) sudo add-apt-repository "deb $(lsb_release -cs) contrib"
The Oracle repository does not support multiarch. The recommended way to install and maintain the Open Source (GPL v2) Virtual Box >= 4.0 in Ubuntu would be to Add the Oracle repository to your sourcesįor 32-bit system or when multiarch is not enabled: sudo add-apt-repository "deb $(lsb_release -cs) contrib"
