Update Virtualbox via command line

Hello,

unfortunately there's something missing in the Virtualbox-Installation-Guide under OMV v5.

The process of updating Virtualbox.

I always got the error of still running VBoxSVC daemon therefore I couldn't update Virtualbox.

1. Stop your VM's

2. stop Virtualbox-services under CLI:

sudo systemctl stop vboxweb-service
sudo systemctl stop vboxdrv
sudo systemctl stop vboxautostart-service

3. Stop VBoxVSC daemon with:

sudo killall VBoxSVC

4. find and kill other process

ps -A | grep VB
sudo kill <pid>

5. Update Virtualbox. I've downloaded the VB-package (.deb) and installed it via CLI

dpkg -i virtualbox-6.1_6.1.x-xxx.deb

With these steps I was able to update Virtualbox

And to update the extension pack just follow the guide in the Guide-section by downloading

cd ~/
wget "link to the latest extension pack" (like today https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.10/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.10.vbox-extpack)

and with the command --replace you can update EP

sudo VBoxManage extpack install --replace Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.10.vbox-extpack 

after that I're rebooted my OMV-server and everything was up-to-date

I've updated the above how-to (point no. 2 and 4) because today I couldn't update to the latest Virtualbox. By killing all the processes related to VB I was able to update again (v6.1.12).
