    Can't install Virtualbox

    Trying to install the virtualbox 4.2 deb from virtualbox's site. Says it's missing libqt4-opengl. This doesn't show in the repository when I try to apt-get it. Any ideas?

    Can you show your /etc/apt/sources.list files ?

    Okay, I think I've got it mostly working now. Found a post on the forums with a more complete list of sources. Not sure if they're right, but hey, it installed this time!

    I was wrong, still not working. Wasn't this hard when I ran Ubuntu.... Maybe I'll just go back to that and compile whatever apps I need there.

    this is my sources.list file:

    Code:
    # 
    
    # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 _Kali_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL$
    
    #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 _Kali_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL $
    
    ## Security updates
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
    deb http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-bleeding-edge main
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
    deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main
    And i'm able to install libqt4-opengl

    Code:
    root@kali:~# apt-get install libqt4-opengl
    Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
    Construction de l'arbre des dépendances       
    Lecture des informations d'état... Fait
    Les NOUVEAUX paquets suivants seront installés*:

    Il est nécessaire de prendre 0 o/337 ko dans les archives.
    Après cette opération, 1 250 ko d'espace disque supplémentaires seront utilisés.
    Sélection du paquet libqt4-opengl:amd64 précédemment désélectionné.
    (Lecture de la base de données... 239786 fichiers et répertoires déjÃ* installés.)

    Got it! Ended up having to reinstall Kali, but still needed to edit the repos. Not sure why they're not set right from the start... Thanks dude!!
