[Bug 482486] Re: Ubuntu 9.10 and Vbox 3.0.8-3.0.10 lag issue in XP vm.

[Mario Schwalbe]

@Shareef Jalloq: In order to install a newer kernel package from lucid,
you'll have to do the folowing:

(1) Add lucid to your /etc/apt/sources.list or better a file in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d, e.g.:

# ubuntu standard repositories
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main

(2) This will upgrade to lucid the next time you run apt-get. Hence, set lucid packages to a much lower priority by adding a file
      to /etc/apt/preferences.d/ that contains:

Package: *
Pin: release v=10.04
Pin-Priority: 1

Package: *
Pin: release a=lucid
Pin-Priority: 1

After doing so apt will never install a package from lucid that is also
present in karmic. If you were to install a package that is only present
in lucid, this will be selected, e.g. linux-image-2.6.32-7-generic.

To override apt's default choise you can also use (see the manual for more details):
$ apt-get install <some package>/lucid
