I am using Ubuntu 11.04, I also like Fedora, Opensuse and Mandriva. How can I run these Linuxes in Ubuntu with Virtualization? Which virtualization software is the best? Can I download it?
View 12 RepliesI am running Fedora on a VirtualBox. Sometimes to allow for performing some real hardware testing, I need to run my development environment on a physical machine. So I need the hard disk of the virtual machine (the .vdi file) to be interchangeably working on both the virtual machine itself and my physical PC by booting a bootable image, mounting the vdi file, and then chrooting to it.

Windows will be used mostly for rdp and for serving asp.net webpages, linux will host some django-applications and a postgreSQL server etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of building a new desktop machine for work and fun. I am looking to run a undecided flavor of Linux (guessing Ubuntu) as my primary OS and several Windows installs with a Windows 7 install for .net development and gaming as virtualized environments.
From my previous experiences with virtualization software in Linux I was never able to find an application that offered descent video card support / graphic acceleration etc. to be capable of playing any games within one of the virtualized environments. And since I will be investing quite a bit of money into this system for gaming I would naturally want to find the best option available to achieve this setup.
So Onto my question: Is there any virtualization software available for Linux that has full video card support, graphic acceleration and capable of taking advantage of everything the video cards have to offer within the virtualized environments?
Or am I stuck with running Windows 7 as my primary OS and using virtualization for Linux and the other OS's?
Also I have no preference on open/closed source and price range would be up to $175.00 to support at least 3 virtualized environments.
if anyone of you have shifted using Paid Red Hat Linux with CentOS, and what are your experiences of moving from Paid Linux to Unpaid Linux CenOS. When do you suggest a person use Paid Linux and when to use Unpaid Linux?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAt linux-kvm.org it is stated: "KVM ... consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko that provides the core virtualization infrastructure" and yet there's no mention of Xen, which runs as the hypervisor with KVM. The site seems to be implying the module is the hypervisor. My question to you is: What is the relationship between KVM and Xen on a server that is "running KVM"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI messed up my kvm virtualization, I think. I want to reload it. I think I'm supposed to type yum install aptName.Is that right?Also, I don't know what to put in for aptName. I can't find the package names on the Fedora site. Where did they hide it? Also, where do I download apts. I searched with Google and find all kinds of sites I don't trust.

The fact is that I want to run both VM's at same time and I need aid and tips with Xen 4.1 because all the Tutorials and guides that I've seen are from non updated versions (3.0, 2.2...). Do I need 3 partitions to virtualize by hardware (one for the host and the other 2 for the VM's)?? Which host OS do you recommend me?
Is it hard to configure Xen and anyway, how to do it? Basically I'm a novice use of linux and my doubts come up refering to Xen configuration, installation and Hardware virtualization selection ( Graphic Card Virtualization above all) because if I have to touch the BIOS settings tell me how, or the application sets it by itself? What I want to virtualize is a 7 Professional 64bits with most of the Disk space (at least 1 TB)for gaming&multimedia, and Opensuse 11.4 64bits. I'll use suse to work & test software.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone can assist me. I am looking to build a server with Debian as the host. When I installed Debian (Squeeze) the default kernel was "2.6.32-3-trunk-amd64". When I tried to install 'Virtualbox' application, I got a failure because I didn't have the 'kernel-headers' installed on my machine. I noticed there are no specific header package the 'trunk' kernel I was using. I have a few questions so I guess I should begin:
Is it safe to remove the 'trunk' kernel and boot my system on just the regular 2.6.32-3-amd64 kernel? Is this OK or not recommended? Please explain whatever is the correct answer. This is my 1st time using a 'Trunk' kernel so I don't know the in's and out's of it.
If I am using Debian 'Testing' for virtualization via 'Vbox', is there a specific kernel I "should" be using?

Host: Ubuntu server

What open source virtualization software do you recommend for this purpose? I am trying virtualbox but heard good things about KVM. I have some questions regarding vbox and posted them on vbox forums - [URL].
I am leading a project at work that will require at least one new server. There will be a development server and a production server, which changes from development will be rolled onto. Unfortunately, I am more of a web programmer than a Linux guru, and I really don't know whether or not it is better to have two physical servers or two virtual servers on one machine. I don't think there will be a huge toll on the machine, as there will probably be around 1000 total users and less than 100 on at any given time. We are also able to spend quite a bit on the server, so I'm sure one could handle it, but I just wanted to check and see what the advantages and disadvantages would be in this situation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a customer who has (currently) three servers running Centos 5.5, one running Windoze 2003 and around thirty or so workstations running XP Pro.
I've just been reading about RedHat's product - RHEVD and was wondering of anyone knows if this product (or anything similar) is aavailable under CentOS.
Basically what we need to be able to do is to virtualize the XP workstations so that the staff can connect via a browser (inside the office or off-site - or for that matter anywhere) and be presented with a standard desktop.
I know I can achieve this using Citrix XenDesktop or VMWare View but I would prefer to use a FOSS solution if one exists. Having said that it has to be robust and well past Beta
One of the things holding me back from building a new system with nothing but Linux is the vague possibility that that I might need to use some proprietary program that only works on Wind'ohs in the future. So far it has been easy to keep dual boot systems around, but a new system will be > 4 Gb of RAM of course, so I can't just install one of my copies of Win XP on it. But buying a new 64-bit version of Wind'ohs for ~$200 seems a waste.Is it now possible to run XP in a "virtual" machine under Debian? More importantly, is it possible to install XP completely from within the virtual machine so it never sees the > 4 Gb or RAM and freaks out? What sort of hardware is required to do something like this? I presume a CPU with certain special capabilities is essential, but wouldn't those special instructions (whatever they are) be pretty standard now? Would the virtual XP install need its own partition?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to try putting some kind of free "bare metal" visualization for desktop useage on my laptop. I've been googling about the possibilities, but still I'm not sure which would actually work in my case. I've seen VMWare ESXi which looks ok, but unfortunatelly it is meant for servers and I can't have ESXI and Sphere client on same laptop. Another candidate I found is KVM, but as much I've seen it requires VTx VTd support from hardware, which my laptop can't provide. The same requirements must be met for Citrix Xen Client, which is meant for desktop virtualizations, but because of lack of VTx and VTd, can't be used in my case. Is there any other possibility? Currently I'm using VirtualBox and VMWare player for virtualization purposes, but I would like to pull out more performance out of it, and a heavy OS on top of another heavy OS just isn't the best way.

How I can to kill this? If I reboot the server it doesn't help.
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on [url] Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running 'virsh start solhvm123'; otherwise, please restart your installation.

Every shutdown/reboot always hangs on
Code: Select allkvm: exiting hardware virtualization
I have tried rebooting/shutting down with
Code: Select allshutdown -h now
reboot
shutdown -r now

init 6
And all hang on the same line. This is 100% reproducible. I am not actually running a virtual machine. I don't have qemu-kvm installed. I do have separate partitions on my system. I have a /boot, /, swap, and /home partition.
From looking at other posts: [URL] .....
Solutions tend to be across the board: not unmounting properly, acpi settings in grub, using a different shutdown command.
My fstab file is:
Code: Select all# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda2 during installation
[Code] ....
and the result of Code: Select allmount is
Code: Select allsysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

Only asks for root PW, and then does nothing else. Xen is installed.
