Installed it on zangetsu, time to try out things..

Downloaded the .deb file:

sudo dpkg -i virtualbox_1.6.0-30421_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb

It’s telling me that I am missing some dependencies.. libqt3-mt specifically.

sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt

Then try dpkg again, and VirtualBox is installed successfully. You’ll have to add yourself to the group called vboxusers:

sudo adduser $USER vboxusers

Logout, and login again to make sure you are logged into the group vboxusers.

Start VirtualBox from Applications > System Tools > Sun xVM VirtualBox
