Hello!
To install virtualbox on F22:
Download the appropriate version from: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux...
From terminal:
cd Downloads
sudo dnf install VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.4_102546_fedora22-1.x86_64.rpm
or for 32 bit:
sudo dnf install VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.4_102546_fedora22-1.i686.rpm
After it is installed, you can open it by clicking on the icon or from terminal to configure.
Good luck!
on f26 enable rpmfusion, then install virtualbox of rpmfusion, this is made for fedora and will avoid you kernel problems
Following the instructions here, you can not only download the rpm file and install VirtualBox but also install the software repository for VirtualBox (.repo file) and thus receive updates regularly (using dnf)
In order to do so, download the .repo file here, and copy or move it to /etc/yum.repos.d (you must be root to write to that directory, so sudo mv ~/Downloads/virtualbox.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/ should do the job).
You should also install the Oracle's GPG key: wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | rpm --import -. Moreover, you should have dkms installed. If not yet, do it using sudo dnf install dkms.
After that, run first sudo dnf update, then sudo dnf install VirtualBox-5.0.x86_64.
Have fun, and consider using gnome-boxes as an alternative...
Agreed - particularly the use of gnome-boxes as an alternative. VirtualBox is a type 2 hypervisor, making it quite sluggish in comparison to the integration with QEMU and KVM (a type 1 hypervisor) provided by gnome-boxes. I always recommend QEMU/KVM over VirtualBox; the only counter-argument is ease of use, and gnome-boxes resolves that issue quite nicely.
