Yes, I have read the other suggestions.
I'm running a machine with OpenSuse 12.1 KDE3.
I'm trying to install Virtual Box.
I've been following the article Install the Sun/Oracle VirtualBox in OpenSUSE 11.4, 12.1 or tumbleweed.
So far, I installed the Oracle repository at download.virtualbox.org
I used Yast to install Oracle VM VirtualBox version 4.1.18_78361.
I installed kernel-devel, gcc and make.
I added my user to vboxusers.
I rebooted.
I went to
www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and downloaded the file Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.1878361.vbox-extpack
I saved it as a file in my downloads directory.
If I browse to it and click on it all that happens is that Ark comes up and asks what I'd like to do with it. I can unzip it and extract the files into a folder, but none of this lets me install the extension pack. Doesn't matter whether I'm root or not.
At this point I'm quite frustrated. I think I followed all the instructions carefully, but the extension pack just doesn't install!
Any ideas here?
Thanks, Bob.
