    1. Yeap, before oracle vbox adds support for Ubuntu 13.10, you can use the DEBs for Ubuntu 13.04 Raring which works great in my machine! It’s available for downloading at vbox homepage.

    1. At the moment, the Virtualbox repository is not ready for Ubuntu 13.10. Download & install the DEBs for Ubuntu 13.04
