Hi Leandro,
There is a brand new Unix VM that has just been released, and that contains many improvements. I suggest that you go to this web site and download the latest version:
This updated version of the VM has not yet made its way into general distribution, but I think that you will find it to be the best available version.
This VM is compiled as a 32-bit executable, which means that you will need to install various 32-bit runtime libraries on your system in order for everything to work. The VM can of course also be compiled as a 64-bit executable, but some of the features for multimedia do not yet work in 64-bit mode, so overall it is best to use the 32-bit VM even if you are on a 64-bit Ubuntu system.

Many thanks for your info Dave!
I'll try to install it using the 32 bits vm manually. any news i'll let the list know about it. :)
cheers
