Re: installing moagg...
You can delete it from within Vbox using the media manager - you must "Release" it then "Remove" it. Sounds like you tried this? Without seeing the actual error messages I can't say why you can't delete it, but if you've released it and the file remains, open a terminal and navigate to the file location and type rm 'Ubuntu 8.04.vdi' if you used a space in the filename you need the quotes. If the file somehow got root ownership (see below) add sudo before the above command.
FYI: You shouldn't use "sudo" to launch a GUI program as root. It can cause permission problems by assigning root ownership to temp files and other things. The proper way is to use "kdesudo" which is the KDE graphical interface root program launcher. Think of it this way: KDE is the graphical overlay on top of linux. So, sudo is the linux program and kdesudo is the Desktop version.
If you're frequently in the need of root access for things - you might consider adding "rootservicemenus" to your install. This package adds a list of Root Actions to Dolphin when you right click on something. It allows you to open a root terminal, root file manager, or root text editor. It's very convenient
On a final note: Linux, like life (or Windows
) is full of little obstacles - you'll get past them - just take a deep breathe and try again!
