Install virtualbox 4.x on ubuntu 11.04
You need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian natty contrib
Save and exit the file
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add --
Update source list
sudo apt-get update
Install virtualbox
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.0
Note: Ubuntu/Debian users might want to install the dkms package to ensure that the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp) are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next apt-get upgrade. For Debian it is available in Lenny backports and in the normal repository for Squeeze and later. The dkms package can be installed through the Synaptic Package manager or through the following command:
sudo apt-get install dkms
You should have posted how to install GA also.
just download deb package and double click lol
Just ran through the install. Had to boot up aptitude gui and run a dependency fix.
A few packages (Qt 4 lib) had to be downgraded in order to satisfy the VB package requirements.
Nice guide, fairly simple and useful, thank you very much.
I installed it but i got some error messages like
virtualbox is not supported in Xen environnement
Excellent guide, thanks
