Hey guys I am new to linux, sorta, and have got Arch set up with XFCE4 and Compiz. I got a good amount of configurations how I want them but the next thing I want to do is set up VirtualBox. I have been trying to google a fairly good tutorial to fallow but I am having no luck. Could anyone help point me in the right direction?
The error I get is but plenty of other things I get with the pacman tool work perfectly
pacman -S virtualbox-ose
virtualbox-ose package not found, searching for group...
error: 'virtualbox-ose': not found in sync db

Did you take a look at ArchLinux Wiki yet?

That doesn't work for me, and I can't figure out why.

Neither can anyone of us if you don't tell us what you did/didn't try.

I'm going to guess that you're using a 64-bit system? In which case, I suggest that you have a look at the AUR. Of course, all of this is explained on the wiki page for VirtualBox, which you should probably take a look at. There are also many forum threads on why there is no x86_64 package for VirtualBox.

Exactly right haha thanks. The information about x86_64 missing is after that command. Didn't read too far into it with even the get command just not finding the package.
