  • sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-2.0_2.0.2-36488_Ubuntu_hardy_xxxx.deb # Install the package (change the version to suit your needs)
  • sudo groupadd vboxusers # Add the "vboxusers" group (seems to be already created by the current (>1.6.2) virtualbox install process)
  • sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a $USER # Add users who will be using the program to the "vboxusers" group. Add more users after $USER
  • To get USB support, you just need to execute the following code:
    echo "none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=$(grep plugdev /etc/group | sed 's/plugdev:x:\(.*\):.*/\1/'),devmode=664 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
  • sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup # Run the Virtualbox kernel setup routine
  • Logout and Login again # for the changes to take effect.
