VirtualBox Closed Source Edition [SOLVED]

Postby sproot » Thu Jul 23, 2009 15:28

Hi,

I know that VBox-ose is in the repo's, I've seen the install instructions, but is it possible to install the closed source edition?
The ose version doesn't (crucially, for me) support USB.

Has anyone used the generic installer from their site?

I've used it on a headless debian server, it worked fine but it didn't provide any kind of GUI, only CLI tools.

TIA

The package you want is called "virtualbox-bin"

emerge -av1 virtualbox-bin

Or

equo install virtualbox-bin

(emerge it with the native-qt4 flag to make it you your qt4 theme rather than its own)
