Which you do how on a stock Ubuntu system (no cheating and going and manually removing files, etc. after installing the kvm package)? And once disabled, how do I run kvm when I want to? And how do I clean up after running kvm so that I can run VirtualBox again? > I do understand.

That's really a red-herring. So let's say I do all my testing and I come the conclusion (that I already have,) that I cannot have kvm installed (and enabled -- and if not enabled, what's the point?) and VirtualBox installed at the same time? What do I do? I don't install kvm on the live environment. Why not save the admin all that work and just have apt tell him about this up front? > So if your sys admin installed both and expects everything to work is > because he/she didn't do some testing. I am the sysadmin. My point is that in testing, I have come to this conclusion. Why did I have to waste my time discovering this when apt could have just told me? You seem to be missing my main point here and that's having everything working "out of the box" (for a regular user). Right now, with kvm and virtualbox, this is not the case. Anyway. I've about said my piece on this. It seems that even Frank disagrees with having virtualbox Just Work(tm) "out of the box" (for a given configuration) so I'm just wasting my time. No hard feelings. I made a suggestion and it was rejected. No biggie. b.
