Once downloaded this virtual machine can be kept up to date, just as any other
NeuroDebian VM, please rebuild the version available from the
backports::
- sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-2.6-amd64 # or -686 for 32bit
+ sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-2.6-`dpkg --print-architecture`
sudo apt-get install -y -t squeeze-backports virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms \
virtualbox-ose-guest-utils virtualbox-ose-guest-x11
and reboot VM.
+ My VM lost mounted host directories, and display auto-resizing after upgrade
+ NeuroDebian VMs ship without Linux kernel headers pre-installed to
+ minimize distribution/running footprint for one time throw-away
+ usages of the VM. To install headers package(s) just run
+
+ sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-`dpkg --print-architecture`
+
+ and reboot VM.
