Hi all,

I was running the latest version of crunchbang, which is based on debian
wheezy and crunchbang waldorf.

I had some problems getting virtualbox going and was thinking of going
to debian stable until I realized it was going to make my commonly used
programs too out dated.

So I had another look for the solution, and this one just worked as i
followed the steps here.
The URL:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=80468

summary:
apt-get --reinstall install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms
 is replaced with:
apt-get --reinstall install virtualbox-4.1

Guest Additions were there too.

 Since it uses apt-get install dkms,
I wonder if virtualbox-4.2 could also have worked? 

Mel

PS
Not the first time I successfully installed virtualbox. But there are
too many how to's that do not seem to work out there.

ALSO, if you are not using crunchbang, you probably need some
distribution to tame Wheezy (testing) or you could run into problems.
Yet you could run into problems any way.
Your Mileage May Vary.
Hope this helps.
