[ubuntu-za] Quantal bugs

[Jan Greeff]

Hi Wikus, many thanks. You hit the nail on it's head!

I found this site 
http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/w-duplicate-sources-list-entry-ubuntu-12-10-12-04/
then deleted the duplicates, installed ext pack and ran the rest of the 
commands and Vbox is up and running. Hooray and praise to our King!

What gets met about these upgrades is that I don't know when to install 
software from the repositories and when to use the software centre or 
synaptic.

Up to now I have been under the impression that it is bad news to go 
beyond the Ubuntu software resources, but I received advice that these 
repositories are not up to scratch for Vbox when my Vbox did not work 
first time.

Kind regards,

Jan
