I tried installing vbox on a Ubuntu Edgy machine and run into problems with it.
The installation ended with an error and pointed to /var/log/vbox-install.log, its contents: make: Entering directory `/opt/VirtualBox-1.3.2/src' Makefile:42: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR= and run Make again.. Stop. make: Leaving directory `/opt/VirtualBox-1.3.2/src' Seems that I did not have the sources for my current kernel. Decided to uninstall, but that would not work either, not even a forced one. On every attempt (or apt-get/synaptic operation) it would say "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1". Two notes: 1. If the kernel source is required can it be added as a dependency of the .deb package? 2. Is the same script run on both install and uninstall? Can you have two separate ones? (so at least you can uninstall if the install fails). Instead of just installing the kernel source I followed instructions in this blog (don't ask why): http://www.ubuntugeek.com/create-and-manage-virtual-machines-using-virtualbox.html#comment-185 Now synaptic is completely hosed (cannot run any searches). Any suggestions how can I get out of this mess?
