I looked into /var/log/vboxadd-install.log, saw:

I check the path /usr/src/vboxfs-3.1.8 exist there right, so why do I get this kind of error?

How do I make a Guest img on hard drive and install Guest on a FC13 host? Is there a set of instruction for doing it on a FC13 host? I went to this website for the FC13 KVM instructions, but near the bottom of page 1 he starts off with making a Guest, Debian Lenny, on ubuntu. Chapter 4 Creating A Debian Lenny Guest (Image-Based).
He has got me so confused at this point on whether he is installing a Fedora or Ubuntu Guest. On that 1st page all steps for making a Host is completed on my Host computer. [URL]. I have got the Windows XP disk in the CD ROM ready to go. If you do a Google search on KVM. Any prior instructions just does not work for Fedora 13

View 7 Replies View RelatedI seem to recall earlier versions of Linux that allowed virtual screens larger than the physical screen that scrolled...I would really like this functionality because I am running on an Acer Aspire One, and I would really like to run Eclipse, and some windows in Eclipse crunch down and hide options I need. Is there a way to have my 1024x600 display operate as 1024x768? I am running openSUSE 11.2 and a pretty much default installation (KDE).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to get a list of all packages that provide a certain virtual package. A way of doing this would be to write a shell script that parses all output of Code: apt-cache search -f .* And spits out all packages that have the virtual package in the provides section. The problem with this approach is that it takes an awful long amount of time to execute. I guess that there should be a simple command that does this in an efficient manner, but which I wasn't able to find.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI generally prefer Kubuntu over Ubuntu, but the one thing I have an issue with is how tricky it can be to install software, or at least find new software to try. KPackageKit is a bit unwieldy - at least for me - having only a rudimentary way of searching though collections of applications, where applications and "-data" packages are mixed up together. Its just my main gripe with the whole thing - is there an alternative? (I'm thinking an analogue to the "Ubuntu Software Centre" but for KDE) I'm running Kubuntu Lucid Alpha 3

View 2 Replies View RelatedI intend to setup a Linux Virtual Server cluster behind a firewall. I have two machines which will run Centos 5.3 and act as the routers. I have two other boxes for now, also running Centos 5.3 which will run the server applications. All these machines are connect on my local network behind a firewall. I will ask for the two LVS router machines to be granted access through the firewall for web access (port 80) and ssh access (port 22). These two ports should be sufficient for me to receive my web application requests, as I will use NAT translation on the LVS machines to redirect to the applications on the real servers.
I've read the documentation for the LVS but I would be grateful if someone could give me some guidance on the whether I will have any problem with the firewall and the LVS routers machines, as I have described it above. Do I need to ask for anything other than access through the firewall for these two machines. They will get DHCP IP's I guess. Also, its not quite clear to me where the LVS router machines LAN cards get connected. Do all of the NIC cards connect to my local network, or do I need an independent hub to connect the second NIC of the LVS router machines, and as such use static IP address for them on this private network.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to install Ubuntu on my girlfriends laptop, She is pretty much fed up with windows, and has been seeing me rub linux in her face (Compiz helps haha). The major problem for me is she does not have a CD/DVD drive, Nor do we have USB drives. Daemon tools will let me boot a virtual drive at boot (in theory according to their forum) so this will be my choosen method. The concerns/questions I have are these:
1) If I install from a virtual drive, Will the Ubuntu partition list that as a device and try to load from it? (When I am done, I am deleting windows and thus the drive) will that cause any major issues?
2)MS Will have to stay on the drive for awhile, I plan on shrinking it down as far as possible (Most likly with gparted) then formatting it as EXT and extending Ubuntu to occupy the whole space, Can gparted do that? (I've only used it with Linux, Never tried with MS)
3) Is there anything I should do PRIOR to installing Ubuntu, other then backing up files?
I've got a problem with installing 64bit systems on Virtual Box. It is reporting that my 64 bit virtualization abilities (something like v-AMD or so) are present but not enabled. There is also an advice to enable it in the bios but I can't find anything like this actually. My motherboard is Asus M4A88TD-M EVO with quad-core AMD processor. IS there any trick to enable this feature somewhere in the system or it is a limitation of my hardware?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst off I am new to Linux and fairly new to working in Networking and Server config's. I have been using Windows for years and have been learning Windows Server 2003 as I have a Technet account, I can get any MS software. I would like to learn Linux and use this as my Server environment. My project looks like this: I have a Quad core, 8gb machine. I want to install a distro of Linux (server or desktop) and run Virtual Machines on it.
My perferred way would be to use Virtual Box but I could use VMware products if that was better. I would like to run WS2003, WS2008, Linux Distro and anything else that will run in a VM. I can figure out that part pretty easily. I want the Linux host machine to run all these VM's and access and use them on my MAC remotely. I have done some research on ESXi as well, but I don't think my Hardware is going to support that. My exact PC spec's are:
AMD x4 940
8gb DDR2
Gigabyte MA770-UD3
2 Velicoraptor Drives
GTX 260
I will be dual booting this machine on one of the Raptors for gaming as well.
I have an acer laptop (TravelMate 7320) which came with Windows Vista. I have made copies of the recovery disk for vista and installed Ubuntu 10.04 and would like to run Vista from a virtual machine in Ubuntu and for this purpose I installed Virtualbox. The problem is that the recover disk that acer provide require the hard drive to partitioned in a certain way otherwise the installation process error outputting "No partition available".
Acer do provide a bootable CD for download from there website to partition the drive before installing from their recovery disk but I have tried this with virtual box and the process doesn't detect the virtual drive. So my question is does anyone know of a virtualisation software for Ubuntu that they could recommend that allow for the partitioning of virtual disk before the installation of an OS? Or even better does anyone know how to do this with Virtualbox?
I am currently using windows xp, but I have acquired another hard drive and wish to install ubuntu to it, unfortunately i do not have a working cd drive. I have loaded the newest iso in daemon tools and it asks me if i want to install it in windows, or restart my computer to do a full install. i wish to do neither. i want to install a full copy to my other drive with the virtual cd drive. I have found alot of help dealing with installing it on the same drive as windows or something that would require a floppy drive. this task seems like it would be alot simpler than installing on the same drive, buy maybe not. Did i miss a tutorial somewhere?
