How do you install the extension Pack?
Aug 1st 2012, 06:33

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.
