Try sudo apt-get --reinstall install virtualbox-ose-dkms -y Joshua Alrighty... here's the scoop.... I did, in fact, get the dkms. After muddling through the man pages for DKMS i did build, install ... reboot and happiness... I have my win7 and XP virtual machines back... YEHHHHHH. It does bring me to another question. Whenever i try to 'reboot' this box (gateway 6801, core i7 920, 9 gig ram, 750 + 500 gig hd, NVIDIA gtx260) it hangs on something called ACPI... if I shut it down (as opposed to reboot) then let it sit for a few it starts up just fine... what's up with that? All this so I don't have to boot to win7 to watch NETFLIX! -- Michael Comperchio michael.comperchio@gmail.com 860 387 2650 44 Eagle St, 3 fl Torrington, CT. 06790 Computers were created to help people become more productive... then someone invented the internet. -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users |
