VirtualBox 是一个很不错的虚拟软件.也是我最喜欢的.同样你也会喜欢上它的.那么这次安装是基于ubuntu10.10.上进行操作.版本为VirtualBox 4.0.

下面是安装过程:

root@ptubuntu:/home/ptubuntu# vi /etc/apt/sources.list

使用vi进行修改sources.list文件添加下面源的连接.

root@ptubuntu:/home/ptubuntu#　deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick contrib

添加完进行update会提示更新由于没有公钥，无法验证下列签名：NO_PUBKEY 54422A4B98AB5139

　　进行下载oracle_vbox.acs进行添加.就可以使用了.

After that you have to download the Oracle public key and add it. To do that execute the two commands below in the Terminal.

root@ptubuntu:/home/ptubuntu# wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc

root@ptubuntu:/home/ptubuntu# apt-key add oracle_vbox.acs

如果你安装旧的版本先进行删除再次安装新版本４.０.

root@ptubuntu:/home/ptubuntu# apt-get remove virtualbox-3.2
root@ptubuntu:/home/ptubuntu#apt-get update
root@ptubuntu:/home/ptubuntu#apt-get install virtualbox-4.0

安装完 VirtualBox 4.0, Oracle 支持usb2.0接口.

1.添加Installing VirtualBox源列表.

2.#sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

#deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian karmic non-free
#sudo aptitude update
#sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r)  build-essential virtualbox-3.1 dkms


(在安装VirtualBox 会提示你输入相关的内容.)

Creating group 'vboxusers'
 Users of VirtualBox must be members of that group. Host network  interfaces will be assigned to that group. <-- Ok

Should the vboxdrv kernel module be compiled  now? <-- Yes

3.添加Vboxusers用户.

#sudo adduser administrator vboxusers
4.安装完可以查看帮助.
#VBoxManage --help

5.我们现在有一台基于Ubuntu9.10 Server VM with 256MB 内存和10GB的硬盘,安装ubuntu9.10 Server iso文档 (文档存放的目标在/home/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso):
 VBoxManage createvm --name "Ubuntu 9.10 Server"  --register
 VBoxManage modifyvm "Ubuntu 9.10 Server" --memory 256 --acpi on  --boot1 dvd --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 eth0
 VBoxManage createhd --filename Ubuntu_9_10_Server.vdi --size 10000  --register
 VBoxManage storagectl "Ubuntu 9.10 Server" --name "IDE Controller"  --add ide
 VBoxManage storageattach "Ubuntu 9.10 Server" --storagectl "IDE  Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium  Ubuntu_9_10_Server.vdi
 VBoxManage storageattach "Ubuntu 9.10 Server" --storagectl "IDE  Controller" --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium  /home/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso
 6.启动VM.
 VBoxManage registervm Machines/examplevm/examplevm.xml
 VBoxHeadless --startvm "Ubuntu 9.10 Server"

停止VM, run
VBoxManage controlvm "Ubuntu 9.10 Server" poweroff
暂停VM, run
VBoxManage controlvm "Ubuntu 9.10 Server" pause 

重启VM, run

VBoxManage controlvm "Ubuntu 9.10 Server" reset
