For now, VirtualBox 4.2.18 + Vagrant 1.3.1 is the good combination.
A few tips:
better start to get your hands dirty with commands instead of software center (even synaptic is better than that crap). For VirtualBox
To check what the virtualbox-4.2 package contains =>
dpkg -L virtualbox-4.2
, you'll have a better understanding of what installing the package means. Removing the packages removes all the files contained in the package.apt-get purge
removes the package as well as the configuration files, I think that is what you want.to clean up unwanted configration files system wide, try =>
aptitude purge '~c'
start to use
deborphan
andgtkorphan
(GUI) to cleanup orphaned packages.
To answer your questions:
NOT really. Only configuration files and your virtual machines remain.
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-4.2
or after you've runsudo apt-get remove
do aaptitude purge '~c'
You can also delete
~/.VirtualBox
, it's safe to delete.
