when attempting an install of vbox 5.0 it makes the attempt and fails to install and I get a window stating could not be completed, when (details) is selected it says “installation aborted by user” I am downloading vbox rpm from virtualbox.org and installing via apper. What’s up?
Don’t use Apper to install it.
Probably the package is not signed or there is a conflict. PackageKit therefore aborts (“aborted by user” is a misleading error message).
Use “zypper in virtualbox.rpm” to install it instead, or “rpm -i virtualbox.rpm” (change the file name accordingly).
Or add the repo and install it with YaST or zypper.

You could also just install the openSUSE package via YaST or zypper (install virtualbox-qt to get the official Qt GUI, vboxgtk doesn’t work).
The latest 5.0.4 is available from the Virtualization repo:
http://software.opensuse.org/package/virtualbox
Thanks! I installed using YaST and installed virtualbox-qt as well and things went fine. Appears to be OK will see when I start loading vm’s? Once again thanks!!
