Reluctantly, yesterday I went ahead and updated Ubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.04.<br>After 45 minutes of downloading and 50 minutes of installing, I had problem with "gcc-3.3-doc" (which I finally deleted it after searching for an hour for solutions).<br>
Ubuntu 8.04 brought with it Firefox3, which is a welcomed Browser, but lost all my "add-ons". </blockquote><div><br>Some former add-ons have been incorporated into FireFox 3. To get add-ons click on Tools and the Add-ons and make a selection.<br>

After 7 hours of figuring out how to install the "tar.bz2" and "vboxusers" rejections, when I finally saw the OS working came the most disappointing issue no USB entry, plus I can't connect to my network. VB1.5 was working like magic before.<br>
I need HELP, but please in very simple language with no abbreviations, I am 68yo and a candidate for a Heart Transplant.<br>VB 1.6.0-OSE is built in Ubuntu 8.04 with Windows XP Professional.</blockquote><div><br>Innotek, the firm that created VirtualBox has been sold to Sun Microsystems.<br>
<br>The -ose version in the Ubuntu repository does not currently have USB support. If you need USB support you will have to remove your current -ose installation as well as the hidden file (.virtualbox) in your Home directory and then install the Hardy version of VirtualBox, version 1.6.0 which you can download from the Sun site. That version does have USB support as well as the usual network support that you had in the previous version.<br>
