Comments on Installing VirtualBox On Ubuntu
Installing VirtualBox On Ubuntu This tutorial shows how you can install InnoTek's VirtualBox on a Ubuntu desktop. With VirtualBox you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux and Windows under a host operating system. There are two ways of installing VirtualBox: from precompiled binaries that are available for some distributions and come under the PUEL license, and from the sources that are released under the GPL. This article will show both ways.

Thanks for this nice tutorial!
One thing you forgot is to add the user to the vbox-group.
For me the tutorial did not work exactly. I was able to start vbox but I could not start a virtual machine. [I always got VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE)]
Reinstalling with dpkg -i /tmp/VirtualBox_1.3.8_Ubuntu_feisty_i386.deb solved this.
To fix your issue, simply
modprobe vboxnetflt
echo vboxnetflt >> /etc/modules
I was trying to install the open source version and the http link does not work. Any suggestions??
svn co http://virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk vbox
Hi.
You have to use
http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk
instead of
http://virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk
and that's all.
It work for me. I just changed the virtualbox version for the latest. Thanks
I got an error Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows XP.
Virtual machine 'Windows XP' has terminated unexpectedly during startup. when trying to start the virtual machine.

Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root.
