I am currently running VirtualBox OSE but I need USB support. If I install the closed source version, is it possible to have it use the OSE's virtual machines or will I have to redo all of it?
View 2 RepliesBeing a former user of Fedora, i decided I'd like to give Ubuntu a try and install so i could switch from a windows environment for ruby on rails development.I downloaded the 10.10 ISO and burned the image to a DVD-RW (a cheap one) at 4xI'm deployed in afghanistan right now, and the only decent internet connection i have is in my office (i work in the network administration/operations office as a NETOPS NCO) and even then my downloads rarely exceed 50kbps. I also don't really have the best pick when it comes to writable media, i'm stuck with imation "plus" cd-r's and dvd-rw's.
After i burned the image to disc, i deleted the iso from my computer since i'm genereally not suppossed to keep personal files on work computers.When i boot to the disc it takes about 45 minutes on average to load into the live environment to do the install or try ubuntu, if i select try ubuntu it's another 10 minutes before it's done loading.The install is even slower, generally takes several hours to complete the install, once the install is complete and i select ubuntu in grub, i get a { DRDY ERR } ru When it tries to load ubuntu and kicks me back into the shell. Nothing appears to be wrong with my hard drive, checkdisk finds nothing.
General specs are:Intel Core i7 i7-720QM / 1.6 GHz 8GB DDR3 1333mhz ram2x 500gb hd'sBlu-ray/dvd/cd driveFull specs are at: the laptop is a g73jh-a1http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/asus...-33950895.htmlI'm downloading the iso again and i'm going to try and burn it to a cd-r at the slowest possible speed, I'm mainly curious if it could be fualt of the disc i burned or if it has something to do with my computer.
I recently had to get a new PC, I am left with one that while it doesn't do what I needed to, still works just fine so I would like to turn it into a barebones file server. I could do this under Windows, I have an old copy of W2K server install I got from my networking class... but I'd rather do it via Ubuntu.I know there are automated install options but I can't figure out how to make use of them. All I need to have it do, is on install:Install X11 as the desktop environment (lightweight, resource friendly).Install VNC to allow me to remotely administer the server and fine-tune any configurations Setup up the NIC so I can obviously network it.
If there's a way to strip off the extra programs (ie: games, office software, graphics editors, etc), that'd be fine. I'm unsure if I want to do any media streaming (specifically of music, unsure if the onboard graphics is suited to video)I don't have a spare monitor to hook this up with, and I want to stash this machine in an out-of-the way place where it won't be noticed.Can anyone help me or point out an 'idiot's guide to automated installing Ubuntu' by any chance?

I have used the same install media to install Ubuntu on a stand alone system and it works fine.
I want to install Debian 6 on an USB via VirtualBox. Then i gonna take the USB and putt it in on another computer, and boot it from there.
I have two questions:
1. How do I install Debian 6 on a USB via Virtualbox?
I have download Vbox from this http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... 12-Win.exe (i use winXp now).
2. How do a boot the USB via a floppy? My old computer, who i want to install Debian 6 on it, cannot boot from USB beacuse the BIOS dont have "Boot from USB". I have USB 1.0 i think.
I am trying to take a look at Fedora for the 1st time and usually like to have a good tryout of a distro in VirtualBox.
Firstly, the live cd image boots up fine and seems to work ok except for a Kernel crash at the beginning of the gnome session, but it does enable basic usage within the live system.
But, when trying to do an actual hd install (still within VBox) Fedora 14 just keeps on crashing the VBox??, every install attempt just aborts, I have given the virtual machine a 20gb virtual hd, 2gb ram, 128mb video ram and have not applied any "unusual" extra settings. All versions of Ubuntu, Mint and PCLinuxOS work flawlessly within VBox.
Has anyone else tried installing into VirtualBox here?? (not just running the live environment)
I've wasted a good few hours with this, is it just that some distros dont like VirtualBox or is this indicative of what Fedora would be like on a real non virtual install??
ps, I have the latest VirtualBox fully updated and a flawless host (Mint 9), and perhaps I should add that I'm not a Linux expert and have only been using Linux for just under a year now.
I have cleaned-intall 11.4
After the installation, the KDE environment is not booting as the default, but runtime level 5 boot instead.
I have checked my installation and ensured to have KDE4 installed.
Please advise how to have KDE boot.

I used to have my ubuntu 10.04 running with a virtualbox for a windows xp. I remove that virtualbox and create another one, bigger, with 10gb. On the process, my computer freezes.. now I'm stuck on that initramfs screen.I really need to recover my linux (I have apache, mysql, samba, all up and running).I can reach "grub" booting with right shift pressed, but I really don't know where I have to begin.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo i installed debian squeeze in virtualbox with xfce and i thought that it was persistent. when i powered down the virtual machine and started it up again later I only had the option of installing it again. Do i use save state to keep it in the installed stage? would i have to do that each time i made a change? i want to make sure so that i don't keep having to re install it.

I want to install Fedora by live disk on virtualbox.
1. I ran the live disk, it works.
2. I click "Install to Hard Drive", it shows normal.
3. I complete the installition and reboot.
4. The live disk ran again, where is the OS installed on hard drive? or it was not installed at all?

My laptop is running Linux Mint 9 and I am trying to install Fedora 13 in a virtual machine within Virtualbox. However, it's not working. It takes forever to get past the initial white/blue loading bar when it first boots and then it just goes white, so I can't see anything. I've already tried modifying the bootline parameter of the live CD to include noprobe, noacpi, noapic, nousb, and nofirewire. However, the result is the same. Am I missing something? Is it possible to install this?
