Hello,

Installing the VirtualBox Extension Pack requires something else as you’re running Ubuntu 10.10 x64. In order to complete the installation, you have to do the task via Terminal using command lines.

 

1. Press “Ctrl + Alt + T” to open Terminal.

2. Type and hit Enter the following commands:

sudo chmod 744 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxExtPackHelperApp

sudo /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxManage extpack install OracleVMVirtualBoxExtensionPack-4.0.4-70112.vbox-extpack

 

Hope your VirtualBox Extension Pack installed successfully.
