VirtualBox 3.2.6 update
« on: June 29, 2010, 12:34:13 AM »
Have seen an update to VirtualBox Non-OSE edition with USB support as 3.2.6. Since the getvirtualbox script was used to install ver 3.2.4, any ideas on how to go about updating to ver 3.2.6.

Thanks.

Its already in the PASS servers, but just wait.

Update and then virtualbox 3.2.4 will uninstalled.  Then you have to install VBox again via the getvirtualbox utility.  All your previous VMs will be retained.

Have just been trying to figure out what happened to my VBox install ........  I guess this explains it ......... 

Maybe it is time to mark VBox in Synaptic to not be upgraded without deliberate action on my part ......
