Anyone running virtualbox?
Hey Guys
I spent the last 2 hours installing virtualbox on squeeze and have
run into a little problem. I can't add users to the vboxusers group
because ther isn't and vbox'anything' group. The Debian wiki doesn't
help, probably because it is out of date, so wonder how others got it
working.
I have these packages installed
+++-==========================================-==========================================-====================================================================================================

I am currently upgrading all of the 3.0.10-dfsg-2 versions to the
sid 3.0.12-dfsg-1 versions in the hope that they will fix things.
<rant on>
In the not to distant past, packages didn't go from sid to testing
unless they worked. Buggy maybe but they at least ran, to a point.
That seems to have changed in the last few months. Is that a new
policy? If so, maybe testing should be to 'could-not-fixed-in-sid'.
<rant off>
TIA
