I have Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon. There is no instances of older versions (afaik). I followed the instructon. But it didn’t work. The line of the source is in the list (as the last). and the update plus install command does install the aplicacion. I can only find it by searching though. When I clikc Oracle Virtualbox I only get an error message: Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.
The application will now terminate.
Start tag expected, ‘<' not found.
Location: '/home/frank/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml', line 1 (0), column 1.
/home/vbox/vbox-4.2.0/src/VBox/Main/src-server/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[525] (nsresult VirtualBox::init()).
And then nothing more
happenes .
