Upgrade problem

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 11.04 desktop 64bit

Just upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10. But virtualbox can't be located on the menu. Neither I can start it. Please advise how to start it and get it added to the menu. TIA

Interesting.. I'm not sure 100% on how the Ubuntu upgrade process works, but you should be able to start VirtualBox from a command line to verify it still exists on the system. Type the following into your favorite terminal:

VirtualBox

If it starts, verify that everything is still configured the way you had it.

If everything appears to be there, here is a guide to add applications to the menu: Howto Add entries in GNOME Menu

If VirtualBox doesn't start, it shouldn't hurt to install it again. Just be sure to check ~/.VirtualBox for your virtual machines and back them up to play it safe.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

It didn't work. I have to uninstall VirtualBox 3,2, the running version. Download and install;
virtualbox-4.0_4.0.6-71344~Ubuntu~natty_amd64.deb
including USB extension

Now VirtualBox revives.
