Unable to install virtualbox - !no internet connection
« on: June 29, 2011, 11:38:37 AM »
I have a fully updated install of PCLinuxOS on my desktop.

I tried searching Synaptic. Only thing there is 'getvirtualbox' the script that will install it. I installed the script.

I ran getvirtualbox in a terminal after 'su' / password routine. It says that I have no internet connection. But the fact that I am able to post this thing proves that I do  ;D

So what to do now?
-SS.

It's possibly being updated to Version 4.0.10 so the link may have of been "removed" for a short while

You can always go to virtualbox.org and download and run their runtime package. That is all that getvirtualbox does.

Yep, it's probably looking for a version that isn't there. 

What is the exact error message you are getting sling-shot?  Can you cut/paste the text?
