    Is there supposed to be a "v" before echo?

  • Rompastompa

    Command line doesn’t work…

    sudo: Only one of the -e, -h, -i, -K, -l, -s, -v or -V options may be specified

  • Rompastompa

    OK there should be a space in between:

    sudo -v echo

  • Rompastompa

    Command line above should still be fixed. Did you actually test it before posting?

    Run these commands:

    sudo -i
    echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian $(lsb_release -sc) contrib non-free #VirtualBox Upstream" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox-upstream.list

    (Leave out the "non-free" if you are installing on Natty")

    wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
    apt-get update
    apt-get install virtualbox-4.0

    I can’t get the usb to work. I have ubuntu 10.04 installed. I installed the deb file just fine, and the Virtualbox 40.12 works fine But it tells me that I need to install users group. I am not that skilled to do it in the terminal. what other recourse do I have? is there an install file that will do it for me? Or am I just out of luck? I was trying to install the usb in my Virtual Windows XP. I read the help file and it lost me real quick.

Andrew look into your httpd.conf file at line no 350. There might be a syntax error.
