| 4 | | 1) Uninstalled VirtualBox-4.3.30 (without uninstalling the extension pack for 4.3.30).[[BR]] |
| 5 | | 2) Install VirtualBox-5.0.0 and then noticed extension pack 4.3.30 and attempted to uninstall it (which caused the failure.)[[BR]] |
| 6 | | 3) I further reinstalled 4.3.30, and was unsuccessful at removing the 4.3.30 extension pack.[[BR]] |
| 7 | | == The Resolution == |
| 8 | | I found out that I had to be logged in as a user with root privileges to be able to uninstall the extension pack of any version. Whenever I attempted to uninstall the extension pack while logged in as a non-privileged user, I would not get the password prompt to complete the installation of the extension pack. Why? Because I was not logged in as a user with root privileges.[[BR]] |
