Earlier in this thread, a 3rd (and IMHO, best) option was mentioned. You can use the LocutusOfBorg PPA. He is the maintainer of the Ubuntu build. His PPA has the latest version (currently 5.0.4) fully open source version of VirtualBox, with VNC enabled, so the commercial Orcale extension is not necessary.
As I understand it, the only reason this version is not in the Ubuntu repositories is due to red tape. $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costamagnagianfranco/locutusofborg-ppa $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install virtualbox guest-additions-iso On Tue, Sep 22, 2015 at 3:19 PM, Lonnie Lee Best <1457...@bugs.launchpad.net > wrote: > Are we close on this bug? > > I debating whether to wait on an official Ubuntu Update to fix this OR > do an "outside of repository" install from > https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads > > Please advise. > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1457776 > > Title: > virtualbox-dkms 4.3.10-dfsg-1: virtualbox kernel module failed to > build [error: macro "alloc_netdev" requires 4 arguments, but only 3 > given] > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualbox/+bug/1457776/+subscriptions > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1457776 Title: virtualbox-dkms 4.3.10-dfsg-1: virtualbox kernel module failed to build [error: macro "alloc_netdev" requires 4 arguments, but only 3 given] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualbox/+bug/1457776/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
