Debian :: Virtualize Win7 As Host On W520
Aug 4, 2015
My current situations is this:
I got an W520 with an i7-2720QM and Nvidia Quadro 1000m. I want to virtualize with Debian as host and Windows as guest. Therefore i want to assign my Nvidia GPU to the guest.
The reason for this choice is because I'm an mechanical engineering student, and that requires alot of windows-only programs (CAD/FEM/matlab etc)..
I got stuck at Nvidias error 43 problem.
Current situation:
I know all my hardware supports VT-d and is activated.
I got the intel-iommu=on as a boot parameter in grub.cfg.
I have stubbed and blacklisted my Quadro gpu so the Win7 guest can acces and use it.
I got win7 installed and running, it detects and refuses the quadro card because its virtualized. I have tried used the 377.88 Driver and the newest, with and without kvm as hidden. I have deleted all hypervisor tags.. It still reports error 43 ..
This is my config file over my virtual windows machine:
Code: Select all<domain type='kvm'>
 <name>win7</name>
 <uuid>5ebc2f74-7bbd-482d-99f4-660155187f8d</uuid>
 <memory unit='KiB'>6291456</memory>
 <currentMemory unit='KiB'>6291456</currentMemory>
 <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu>
[Code] ....
Do I use Xen insted?

Just d/led Fedora 11, installed in Sun Virtual box 3.04. New to Fedora and can't figure out how to install guest additions to get my resolution up to par. I have the iso mounted and can get to it via "file management" no problem.

I have a Win7 laptop with the latest version of VirtualBox installed. It's a dual core proc with ram to spare. So, I installed Slack64-13.1 and it rocks! I'm really impressed that Slack is running at what appears to be native speed, but in virtual machine. Hardware response is normal, WIFI and LAN are both working great for my normal tasks.So, I downloaded a few much needed patches, and new ISO image for one of my old desktop PCs. Now, my problem is I can't connect my USB cdwriter to my virtual slackware or share folders in the Win7 install with the virtual slackware. I read a few of tutorials on the Oracle VBox website, and several of the ones here on LQ, and none of them seem to solve my problems.

Setup:
1. Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit Professional HOST Operating System
2. Oracle VirtualBox 4.0.6r71416 on top of Windows 7
3. Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx 32-bit GUEST Operating System in VirtualBox
I successfully installed the above configuration on May 15, 2011. I had some difficulty getting the Host-Only VirtualBox Adapter to work. I was forced to make a subtle change to the Windows Registry in order to get the Adapter to work correctly. I was successful. I used the Debian Update Manager to update my installation of Ubuntu. Nothing changed on the Windows 7 side. Now, Windows 7 says that the Host-only adapter is enabled, but I don't have a connection to the Ubuntu OS. I can't use PuTTY or WinSCP. When I invoke ipconfig on the Windows side, 192.168.56.101 is the IPv4 address. When I invoke ifconfig on the Ubuntu side, there isn't anything.

I've just acquired an Lenovo ThinkPad W520, installed openSuSE 11.4 - and tried to install the Nvidia driver... but the X won't start at next reboot due to the following error: "GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors." Revision: 0x09I've tried to install drivers as described at: SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE - both with click install, and the repositorie way, I blacklisted the "nouveau" driver and "NO_KMS_IN_INITRD" is set to yes!

virtualization means putting more virtual computers on 1 physical computer. What my question is about is the other way around. Namely: how to make from different physical machines 1 virtual computer? The point is that I would like it to have the following features: data redundancy: data should be stored on at least x other physical computers access should be able to done on any physical node (so no master node).I would need to be able to place a normal Linux system on top of the virtual layer, so I can get all the benefits of Linux.I would like data to migrate automatically and physical computers to be able to be pulled/added at will.
I've been looking through Google for those things but I didn't find anything that only remotely resembled what I needed.Maybe you can give me a hint where to look at, or on what terms I would need to search?

I'm trying to install openSuSE 11.4 onto my brand-new Lenovo W520 laptop, using the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (FakeRAID?) controller, ROM version 10.1.0.1008. I have 2 physical 500GB disks configured in a mirror (RAID-1). Everything looks fine, the installation program comes up and asks if I want to use mdadm to manage the RAID, to which I answer yes. I go through the normal setup screens, and select the partition layout that I want (for sake of this post, I'll limit myself to the layout that the system itself recommends).
The problem comes when it becomes time to format the partitions. Somehow the partitioning program gets it into it's head that the root partition is 10TB, not 20GB, and the ext4 partitioning fails in various ways (short reads to sector zero, unable to map using 4096 byte sectors, etc, etc) depending on exactly which partitioning scheme I'm attempting. I pretty much get the same result no matter how I play the partitions, which file systems I use (XFS, ext4, etc [of course, I can't use XFS for /boot...]).
For now I've gone ahead and set myself up using software RAID, since this system is unlikely to become dual-boot with Windows for a few years at least. (As an aside, but as a hint to others, when the installation fails, I end up having to go back into the Intel RAID controller BIOS boot to clear out the entire RAID setup each time it fails - the disks are left in a completely useless state).

I'm probably in way over my head, but have recently been given a job that will be utilizing the systems in the Subject. My employer will be sending me to school for the basics (Red Hat System Administration). I currently have a Macbook Pro that I would like to be able to virtualize a server and install RHEL 5 to begin to read through manuals and anything else I can get my hands on. Wondering if the community has any advice for operating/installing RHEL 5 on a Macbook (virtualized preferably), as well as any other useful advice or comments in regards to 'speed learning' these systems.

In my recent tribulations getting Linux based tools working at work I've gotten a lot of good answers just by searching here. But since this question is very subjective, and details are important, my searches just weren't quite working out.
I've been using Linux off and on since 94, Slackware... a stack of floppies as long as my arm. I say off and on because I've always been of the opinion that Windows had a superior selection of ready-to-run desktop software... I still think that's true, but since I'm pushing open source more at work ($44K a year to use Exchange? Seriously?) I figure it's time to throw in behind it at home, too.
My biggest hangup with a total transition is gaming. I can handle my desktop suite needs just fine with Open/LibreOffice and Seamonkey. The limited work I do with graphics and sound can be handled just as easily with existing open source applications (though I'm not really sure about video playback, yet. Finding good codecs for HD video that work well with Linux based players, WMP and Windows Media Center is kind of a pain in the ass.) Hell, pretty much everything I do on a day to day basis... a drastic improvement over 5 years ago.
The games, on the other hand, are killer. Two of my off and on favorites, World of Warcraft and EVE Online are reportedly well supported by Wine. A good chunk of my game collection, though, was purchased through Steam, which I understand has some issues with Wine. And there's also concerns about future games that get released ... some of which is offset by the constant improvement in Wine and similar packages.
What I'm considering as an option is simply going with Xen for a paravirt Windows guest and running my games in that. What I need to know, though, is how well will that conceivably work? Will a Windows XP or 7 (which one would I want?) guest in a Xen DomU have better gaming support than Wine provides? What other things am I not taking in to consideration that I should? Should I use Xen or whatever the free VMWare is (I'd prefer Xen, open source and all, but it VMWare would really do the job where Xen wouldn't...)?
AMD Phenom X4 955
8GB RAM
SATA 30GB SSD
2TB RAID storage which I would prefer to keep as a single chunk, but meh... it's 2TB.
I have installed CentOS 5.3-5.5, FC 13 and 14. Ubuntu, Debian and., all the major distros and all the hardware is supported by the prebuilt kernels.
Actual uses: MP3 rip/playback. Web browsing. Quicken. Occasional word processing/spreadsheet, media conversion including the dreaded DVD ripping (I buy the DVDs for my kids, but they can't touch them :P), and... hell, whatever it is that we do with our desktops and take for granted. Games. Lots of DirectX games.

I'm having this issue with a Linux server that thinks it owns an IP that it doesn't.Background: We used to have a central server connected directly to the DSL modem with two interfaces. interface eth1 was setup to respond to three of our external IPs, I'll call them ext54, ext55, and ext56. The internal interface, eth0, was setup as a gateway for the LAN on IP 192.168.0.1.
We wanted to install a hardware firewall and virtualize the existing server. So now it's setup so that the WAN interface of m0n0wall is connected directly to the DSL modem and responds to ext54, ext55, and ext56 and its LAN interface is the gateway for the 192.168.2.0 network. The server was virtualized and it's eth1 configuration was changed to be 192.168.2.2 with a gateway of 192.168.2.1. Everything seemed to be working fine.
Problem: The server runs apache for our webmail system, which works fine from the outside (since I have m0n0wall NAT port 80 through to 192.168.2.2), but inside it fails.
As best as I can figure the server (which is linux Centos 4.3), thinks that it should still respond to IP ext54 instead of forwarding it on to m0n0wall to figure out where it should go. I've looked through all the config files I can think of on the linux server (ifconfig, route table, hosts file) and I can't see anything that would make the server think it is ext54. I've also checked the logs and config of m0n0wall to see if the packets are getting dropped, and again, I don't see anything.
I guess I should say that our DSL provider gives us the IPs ext54, ext55, ext56, ext57, and ext58. When I tracert the IPs on the server ext54, ext55, and ext56 don't hop at all as if the server itself serves those IPs, but ext57 and ext58 tracerts hop to the m0n0wall gateway correctly...which makes this even crazier in my opnion.

Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 onto my new netbook from a USB stick. The laptop came with Win7 Starter, which I kept on a small partition. Installation was apparently successful, but when I start up the computer, it will go straight to Win7 and GRUB doesn't appear.

I had vista installed, then I installed Win7 on a dif. partition. Then I installed Ubuntu 11.4 over the vista partition (formatted first), and now I can't get into Win7. I'm really at a loss. I've tried the Win7 disk, and it doesn't detect the Win7 installation. I've also tried sudo update-grub, and it doesn't seem to detect the win7 install either. I've tried making the Win7 partition bootable using gpart as well. I'd like to dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu, however I need to do that.

This is the first time I have run into issues mounting windows shares but I really can't figure this out. Can someone put me out of my windows misery please.
First off, last week I rebuilt my work PC fromWIN7 32bit to WIN7 64bit since then I can no longer mount the window share on my ubuntu server:
I recreated my windows share called "Linux" and used the properties, advanced sharing and added everyone, full access and my domain account full access.
If I browse to \ipaddress I can see my share and access it. From a XP machine I can see the share and access it.
From linux I use the same mount point as before, /linux I use the same fstab and it fails
Code:
I try this manually now:
Code:
Next I try to mount it:
Code:
I looked at my firewall rules and they seem ok.
Next test was connecting to my 2nd pc on windows XP no probs mounted first time.
What is wrong with my new Win 7 setup?

I'm somewhat familiar with Ubuntu (familiar but not sharp!) but have never tried Debian OS until now. I've installed Debian 5 64bit as a guest on a Mac host. I'm impressed how smooth the install went; even installing VB Guest Additions went smoothly. But, I get a "Your system had a kernel failure" error after booting. I have searched the forum & didn't find this error. Everything seems to work okay but is there an update that isn't showing in the Update Manager? Could this have something to do with VirtualBox 3.1.4?

It may be not correct place for asking but I will give a try. There is a "strange" problem with network on computer of my wife. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not (under WIN7), it complains that LAN cable is not plugged in. On the same computer it always works if I boot computer from Ubuntu CD. And it always works on my computer (Debian testing). Under Linux i can see intensive blinking of LAN card diodes, under windows it blinks few times and than stops. I have little, if any knowledge about LAN hardware. But based on what I see and same logic i supposed the following: Driver of network card is programed to recognize certain levels of signal, and probably in win driver those levels a set a bit higher than in linux. when because of some reasons signal in LAN cable goes below some level, the card under win7 cannot see the network.

I have two sata HDs. One of these has Debian an Winxp installed. Grub is the bootloader. Grub resides in MBR (on the same disk). Now that I've added that second disk, I would like to test win7 on it. What I would like to do is to be able to choose -at boot time (maybe in bios setup)- between booting from the disk containing win7 or from the disk containing Grub with winxp and Debian. I thought that when installing win7 it would let me choose the disk where to install it and here is where the problem arises.
Win7 installer detects my partitions and lists them as if they were not on different disks. What would happen if I choose to install win7 on the partition I want to (second disk, partition1)? Will win7 create a new bootloader? Now I am a little confused and don't want to keep on going not being sure the results are what I expected. What steps should I follow to install win7 on the second hard disc not affecting the disc with winxp, debian and grub letting me choose between these two Operating Systems?

I need to find the best way to triple boot XP Win7 and Debian, with Debian installed first on my laptop. VMWare, Wine and Cedega cant do what I need with how I run my laptop, which is equivalent to my portable laptop/workstation. Is there a partitioning tool in Debian that I can install to make a small partition for each? I also hace to set up GRUB instead of the Windows BL.

I am kinda new to Linux but because I started a linux-course I decided to install it on my desktop. Before I used Virtual Box or VMware so it was pretty straightforward but now I have a problem with booting into Win7. I decided to install Debian along with my Win7. From a hardware perspective the things are like this, I have 3 HDD, 2 on a RAID0 and the third will be the one with Linux. On the RAID0 matrix I installed Win7 first, all ok there.
Then I started installing Debian. I followed the installation wizard, I partitioned the 3rd HDD and selected it as the drive for Linux. Then after I installed Linux and rebooted I only saw Debian in the GRUBs boot options, no sign of Win7. I think it has to do with the RAID0 matrix which "houses" Win7. I disconnected the 3rd HDD, and now when I try to boot no sign of the Win7 bootloader thou the RAID0 is ok. The only message I get is "insert boot disk".

This my scenery:
1 pc windows 7.
1 pc linux debian jessie.
From jessie, mount a share folder in windows 7, in this way: mount -t cifs //windows7/sharefolder /mnt/windows7 -o user=pychi,password=mypass,uid=pychi,gid=pychi
And work fine, the user pychi and root, copy to windows share folder perfect and fast, but the big problem is:
when i copy a big folder, example 40 gb, after 30% or similar, stop the copy, and this is a list of different errors:
- It's not possible change file proprietary on destiny.
- not enough space
- can't fix attributes, date, time, proprietary, group.

I believe a windows7 addition to a multiboot system has buggered up the time displayed on two other debian installations on the same computer, a X86_64 and an AMD64 respectively. I'm running unstable on the two Debian installations but #dpkg-reconfigure tzdata can't fix the problem. At the moment the local time is displayed as 15:59 when in fact it is 19:59 and UTC is displaying the correct local time. (19:59) when it should be 23:59 I'm sure this is related to something win7 did, because I only noticed it after the additionalinstallation. I just don't know how to change things back like they were.

I have been trying to send some messages from my Debian GNU/Linux to my Canaima GNU/Linux, i have tried with write: write user@host
But it says user is not logged in, apparently the write daemon have to be running in both machines to do this.
And i wanted to use talk, but i should install it in both machines ¿?
The thing is that i have like 10 machines i wanted to send messages to, but i cant find an easy way to do this.
Is there any other way i am missing? or it has to be the "hard" way

I'm curious to know whether it is possible to upgrade the host to 64 bit. This is a virtual machine. I'll install 64 bit new guest on it.
I made search on Internet. My findings are as follows;

I am working on a cluster for a molecular dynamics class and I have to edit my FORTRAN code (only the newest and best for me!). In order to get through to the cluster I have to ssh in. The network on which the cluster resides is behind a firewall, so I have to ssh through the firewall into the network first.
this is fine, I can login and move files and folders as needed, including sftp-ing into host 1, then into the cluster so I can transfer files from cluster to host and then host to me. This gets rather tiresome, so it would be nice to edit the files in place.
The problem is that when I access my code with emacs it launches the emacs client on Host 1, with no mouse support. I know the purists will howl about how I should be using keyboard shortcuts, but I am a chemist and not a programmer, so the mouse is very nice for me. Is there any way I can perhaps mount the cluster using sshfs so that when I open my code it launches a local instance of emacs? Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I thought it was network related.

I got a bunch of machines (~10) that I share with my co-workers. I have appropriate .ssh file(s) set up so I don't get prompt for password when I try to ssh.Currently I ssh into these hosts and then do a top to check the load before I start using the machine. Because I don't want to be on a busy host.Can someone show me how to write a script that find a least-busy host given a list of hosts to check? (hardcoded is fine)
