Virtualbox for Puppy 5 (lupu)

#1 Post by fabietto0102 »

Hello All,

I understood from some other posts that Virtualbox (any version) is not yet been developed for Lupu 5 or 5.1. Who's developing it so that I can follow his thread?

Will it be available from Quickpet once is ready or how can I found out more? Who I should contact for this?

Thanks for your help!

VirtualBox has been made as an SFS file for Lightouse Pup.
Since it uses the same kernel, you might try it with Puppy 5.
I would run it initially from a terminal to see if all dependencies are met.

I tried that one of Lighthouse puppy and it doesn't work somehow. I'm sure it works within Lighthouse puppy but not on a normal lupu.
Lighthouse puppy has way to many application installed it's too much, while i like something very vanilla, see my signature...

I'll try contacting Playdayz who's developing lupu...
My ideal puppy: latest Puppy with OpenOffice.org, Amarok/Exaile, Virtualbox, VLC, Skype, Transmission, Firefox. Once I know how to do it I'll publish it!!
