I'm looking for virtual machine software that supports dual monitors on a Linux guest with a Windows 7 host.VirtualBox supports dual monitors only for Windows guests. VMware Player was extremely slow, so I gave up. I'm not sure it supports dual monitors, anyway. Can anyone recommend a product for what I want to do?
View 1 RepliesI have RHEL running in Virtual Box and my native OS is Win 7. From a purely educational standpoint, I want to be able to access RHEL from Win 7 over SSH. I download putty but don;t know how to make it do what I want. Ideally, I would like to use the linux command prompt at a minimum and preferably access the GUI apps also. IS this possible? I am just trying to explore and expand my linux knowledge.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Linux installed on my harddrive, sometimes I run it as the host operating system and sometimes run it as a guest in Windows using VirtualBox. It's a nice ability, I think.
I don't think it's possible with Windows though. Is it because your average distribution includes drivers for everything known to man? Are devices/drivers configured statically in Windows so when somethings changed it breaks?
I have a Ubuntu hosting a Windows XP box (using VirtualBox). The Windows XP box is connected to work using Check Point VPN-1. Essentially this enables me to go to my Windows box and do something like ping comp-at-work and it just works.
I would like to access the VPN resources from the Linux host though. The Windows guest is only there because the VPN client isn't working in Linux. If I could somehow ssh from the Linux host right into my computer at work (using remote desktop would also be great), that would save me a lot of round trips between my Linux host and the Windows guest.
I am new to linux, it was nice to work with linux on virtual machine, but suddenly yesterday when I try to connect using putty from my windowsxp machine its showing network connection error.

Migrating Virtual Guest to Native Host
I have been using ubuntu server and desktop on virtual box for a while now. I have come to enjoy it more than being in Windows. I would like to install it natively. I am wondering. is there any way I can take my virtual machine and apply what I have done there to a new ubuntu install?
I have a ntfs hard disk, will ubuntu resize that for me at install?
Any good apps for backing up all my my firefox data and then applying that to my firefox in ubuntu?
I need to keep windows for some stuff for work, and for some games I like.
FC13/KDE
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
We got a new server with 2 network interface cards with 4 MAC addresses in total. We would like to run two virtual machines (vserver1 and vserver2); one should connect via eth1, the other via eth2, and the host (mainserver) via eth0. The content of /etc/network/interfaces is as follows:

A connection from mainserver to vserver1 or vserver2 is not possible; a ssh connection from mainserver to vserverx ends with a login to mainserver.
I've installed VirtualBox OSE and have a couple of guest OS setup. I am running Ubuntu 11.04 and VBOSE version 4.x (the most current). Now this installs the guest OS virtual harddrives to a folder in my home directory. How do I get other users on the same host machine access to those virtual machines within VB? Currently logging in as another user and going to Applications/Accessories/VirtualBox OSE ... the list of guest machines is empty save of course on my login.

I couldn't find a clear answer to this, but is the linux-image-virtual package for host machines that will contain VMs, or a VM-oriented kernel for guest OS (ubuntu)? I have some guest VMs running on Microsoft's Hyper-V, and was looking for some further optimizations.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to share a folder from a Linux Guest with a Windows host (with read and write access if possible) in VirtualBox. I read in these two links: here and here that it's possible to do this using Samba, but I am a little bit lost and need more information on how to proceed.
So far, I managed to set up two network adapters (one NAT and one host-only) and to install Samba on the Linux guest, but I have the following questions now: What do I need to type in samba.conf to share a folder from the Linux guest? (the tutorial provided in one of the links above only explains how to share home directories) Are there any Samba commands that I need to run on the guest to enable sharing? How do I make sure that these folders are only available to the host OS and not on the Internet? Once the Linux guest is setup, how do I access each of the individual shared folders from the Windows host? I read that I need to mount a drive on Windows to do this, but do I use Samba logins, or Linux logins, also do I use localhost? or do I need to set up an IP for this?
I have RHEL 5 installed on VMware 6.0 and the host OS is Windows 7. My Host is connected to internet using a wireless connection and works on shared IP. Earlier when I had Windows vista as host I have managed to get the internet connection on the RHEL but do not remember how I managed it. Now I need help in setting the internet connection on RHEL. I have set up a NAT connection. But of no use.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to understand how Linux creates the network/interfaces on a machine (been reading the Linux admin guide), but as I'm pretty new to this subject, I've got lost in the forest.
To provide with my goal:

2.) Be able to maintain my own (virtual) network
3.) Configure my (virtual) network
I have a ThinkPad W520 with nVidia Quadro 1000M and Nouveau drivers. I use external monitor with extended desktop using XRandR. My beef with this setup is that I get just one virtual desktop of a (1440+1920)x1080 size whereas what I would like to have is being able to have one separate (set of) virtual desktop(s) on my 1440x1080 external monitor with, for example, some reference material open, while have other programs working on another (set of) virtual desktop(s) on my main 1920x1080 screen. I've read that this might be possible with so called zaphod mode, but it looks like it involves static rules in xorg.conf which I would like to avoid since from time to time I need to carry my laptop with me without external monitor.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.10 desktop in a VirtualBox VM on a Windows 2008 host machine. The end goal is join the the Ubuntu VM to a Windows 2008 domain.

But from this point forward, I'm completely lost.
1) How do I implement this likewise package?
2) How do I get files from my Windows 2008 host to the Ubuntu guest VM?
The likewise file is burned to a DVD. When I try to read the DVD, I get the "My Disk" icon but only one file gets displayed. In other words, the DVD the likewise file is burned to has a ton of files. Ubuntu doesn't see any of them expect one .exe file. The /etc/fstab had no entry for cdrom, so I put a line in that says
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 rebooted and that didn't do squat. There is no entry /etc/cdrom but there is directory /etc/My Disc. And I suppose that's what gets mounted because I can see one file on that disc. So then I thought, to hell with the DVD drive and I'll just get the Linux guest to see a "shared drive" on the host. I shared out a folder on the host via the Virtualbox "shared folders". But how I get the Ubuntu guest to see this shared folder is as big a mystery to me as is the creation of life.
I am trying to connect an ipad to a windows xp virtual machine running in a linux (opensuse) host machine. VMWare reports that usbmuxd running on the host machine (opensuse) must first release the usb port so that vmware can open it in the guest (XP) vm. VMWare knows that I have physically connected an ipad and when I click "Connect" reports the error and then displays the port as "Connected" although according to ITunes diagnostics there is no such connection. I have the same problem connecting a usb flash drive to the guest vm. Is there a way I can manually disconnect the port from the opensuse host?
