VirtualBox 2.2.0 for Linux

Note: The package architecture has to match the Linux kernel architecture, that is, if you are running a 64-bit kernel, install the appropriate AMD64 package (it does not matter if you have an Intel or an AMD CPU). Mixed installations (e.g. Debian/Lenny ships an AMD64 kernel with 32-bit packages) are not supported. To install VirtualBox anyway you need to setup a 64-bit chroot environment.

Note: The VirtualBox 2.1.0 deb/rpm packages do not properly unregister from dkms before the package is removed / upgraded. Please have a look at our FAQ for further details.

Please choose the appropriate package for your Linux distribution:

  • Debian-based Linux distributions: Add one of the following lines according to your distribution to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
    deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian intrepid non-free
    deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian hardy non-free
    deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian gutsy non-free
    deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian dapper non-free
    deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lenny non-free
    deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian etch non-free
    deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian sarge non-free
    deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xandros4.0-xn non-free
    
    The Sun public key for apt-secure can be downloaded here. You can add this key with
    sudo apt-key add sun_vbox.asc
    
    or combine downloading and registering:
    wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
    
    The key fingerprint is
    AF45 1228 01DA D613 29EF  9570 DCF9 F87B 6DFB CBAE
    Sun Microsystems, Inc. (xVM VirtualBox archive signing key) <info@virtualbox.org>
    
    To install VirtualBox, do
    apt-get install virtualbox-2.2
    
    Replace virtualbox-2.2 by virtualbox to install VirtualBox 1.6.6, replace it by virtualbox-2.0 to install VirtualBox 2.0.8 or replace it by virtualbox-2.1 to install VirtualBox 2.1.4

    Note: Ubuntu users might want to install the dkms package (not available on Debian) to ensure that the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv and vboxnetflt) are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next apt-get upgrade.
