The command is “VirtualBox”, the “v” and “b” have to be capitalized.

I still get a kernel panic with VT-x enabled or not.

I’m using fluxbox and this version of VirtualBox has not been automatically added to my fluxbox menu butI don’t know the command to run it since virtualbox launches the repository version not this one.
How to I run it from the command line?

You don’t have to completely uninstall KVM in order to get it to work, all you need to do is before you run virtualbox just do:
“sudo rmmod kvm-intel”
or kvm-amd if your processor is AMD.

That way you can keep both KVM and virtualbox installed (I like KVM because of the ability to run the “Ubuntu MID” KVM module. I think I like MID better than the Ubuntu Netbook Edition.

Actually, you can run the 8.10 with current kernel in Vbox without VT-x/AMD-v, you just can’t install it. Installing to e.g. a vmdk in qemu produces a VM that boots and runs fine in VBox without VT-x/AMD-v.

You are not limited to 800×600 if you edit xorg.conf and add mode lines.

[...] If you’re upgrading from the version of VirtualBox you get from Ubuntu 8.04’s repository to the latest version from Sun, there are a few issues that could trip you up. I was doing this recently in order to run the latest Ubuntu alpha releases in a virtual machine, more on that in the second half of this post. VirtualBox 1.6 adds seamless windowing for Linux guests, virtual SATA hard disks, PAE support (lets you boot Ubuntu server kernels), and better support for newer guests OSs.
