sorry i'm just a normal user with no skills , i have used virtualbox in the past with no problems or issues and have had good results as a normal installation. however i recently installed ubuntu 12.04.2 and this has been my first time to have had an issue with using virtualbox. i might make another installation of the prior 12.04.1 as vbox was working with no problems, although i do like the feel and reduction in cpu that the new kernel shows to be a very good improvement.
thank you.
