Juhtprogrammide tugi

Linuxis on juhtprogramm (driver) sisuliselt laaditav tuuma moodul. Kui tuum uueneb, siis tuleb uuendada ka juhtprogrammid. Sellega tegelebki DKMS Linuxis.

Enne VirtualBoxi paigaldamist tasub veenduda, et DKMS on paigaldatud:

dpkg -l|grep dkms
ii  dkms                                       2.8.1-5ubuntu1                        all          Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework

dpkg otsib paigaldatud pakettide hulgast ja ii näitab, et on paigaldatud.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-6.1 && sudo ldconfig && sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get clean

Laienduste pakett

Lisaks paigaldada siis laienduste pakett (Extension Pack)
