i installed from sun and it is working directly

pleas get my problem and help me. i think it must work on xp because the problem was there i can't create folder on the xp desktop

Oh, so "installed it directly" means not using the Ubuntu repositories...

It seems the sun version might ship the binary as
Note the capitalisation.

I'm now beginning to think that you may not have read the manual.
Here is the relevant section.

So? i post this if you have any idia anyways i will let you to know when i read the guide
Thankzz

The Sun package installs to /opt/VirtualBox and installs VBoxManage instead of vboxmanage so you need to run notBTW, I do not understand why you added gnome2 when ev02 advised you to use AFAIK the --type gui is default so is not required.

I understand you are in a hurry to solve this problem. I observe that it would have been solved more quickly if you had given more information sooner.

The program 'vboxmanage' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
vboxmanage: command not found
achu@achu:~$

I alredy install virtualbox it is now virtualbox-ose but it is the latest version. is this command work for virtualbox-ose? or what can't i do?

and

what is the problem with this:-

achu@achu:~$ /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage startvm winxp
bash: /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage: No such file or directory

To see if there is a vboxmanage command on your system, try this
