Installing Virtualbox 2.2 in Ubuntu Jaunty

This is basically a direct rip from the virtualbox site minus all the other stuff they have on the download page:

1) Open up terminal --> "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
2)Add "
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian jaunty non-free
" and save + close
3)Back in terminal:
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
and

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-2.2


4) done (installed under "system tools")

Edit: you need to add yourself to the 'vboxusers' group. (under administration select user and groups..unlock...manage groups...scroll down and select the virtualbox group ...ensure your username is checked off.)
