Steps to install VirtualBox 4.3.10 on Fedora 20. You need to first open a terminal and become root user:
$ su -
Password:
#
Install dkms package:
# yum install dkms
If Virtual Machine Manager is running, stop the same, and uninstall it.
# yum remove virt-manager
Remove the KVM modules if already loaded:
# rmmod kvm_intel
Download and install rpmfusion-free repo from rpmfusion.org:
# yum install rpmfusion-free-release-20.noarch.rpm
Install VirtualBox:
# yum install VirtualBox
Install the required VirtualBox kernel module for your running kernel. For example, on Fedora 20 with kernel 3.11.10-301, you can run:
# yum install kmod-VirtualBox-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64
Load the vboxdrv driver:
# modprobe vboxdrv
You can now start VirtualBox and use it. To convert Virt-manager images to VirtualBox, you can use:
$ VBoxManage convertdd ubuntu1204-lts.img ubuntu1204-lts.vdi
