Install VirtualBox 4 1 2 on Ubuntu

In the previous article we have discussed how to install VirtualBox 4.0.10 on Ubuntu Natty, now we will discuss how to install the latest VirtualBox, VirtualBox 4.1.2. Actually, how to install both types of VirtualBox are not much different. Oops, before we discuss the installation steps, let see what is new in VirtualBox 4.1.2

VirtualBox 4.1.2's new items:

• VMM: fixed 64-bit guests on AMD Fusion CPUs (bug #8824).
• VMM: fixed handling of the sysenter/sysexit machine instructions in 64-bit guests on Intel hosts.
• GUI: added linked clone support.
• GUI: fixed error check when changing the VM controller settings (4.1.0 regression; bug #9246).
• GUI: fixed the inclusion of additional information (license, vendor, …) on OVF export.
• GUI: when taking a snapshot from the VM selector, don’t do a live snapshot.
• GUI: fixed immediate crash during start on certain environments due to a library version conflict.
• Guest control execution: implemented copying single files from guest to the host (directories and filters not supported yet).
• Guest control execution: limited to serve up to 5 guest processes at a time by default.
• Main: return the correct RDP default port fixing settings warnings in the GUI if the remote display was enabled at runtime (bug #9368), etc.
