I tried the general install for any linux system which didn't run, as there 
seemed no repository for 'precise' which I thought was the kubuntu 12

From the virtual box website:

Debian-based Linux distributions

Note: VirtualBox has been moved from non-free to contrib with 4.0, so please 
adjust your repository settings.

Add one of the following lines according to your distribution to your 
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian oneiric contrib
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian natty contrib
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick contrib non-free
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib non-free
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian karmic contrib non-free
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian hardy contrib non-free
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian squeeze contrib non-free
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lenny contrib non-free

I tried substituting precise, but to no avail.
