I installed Vista in VirtualBox 2 days ago and all has been well since. However I just started VB tonight and although it started up ok, when I clicked on Start (Vista) I get the following pop-ups.
Although one of the errors appears to say what I should do, I don't understand it
Could somebody tell me what I need to do to fix it please? Preferably in English
I've had a lot of success over the past year with Ubuntu 10.4; however, recently I've been experiencing nothing but problems. It all started with an upgrade a month ago that caused me to experience a boot error. Now every time I re-install the system, I will have a random boot error. I have been trying to install the system on a friend's computer and getting the same thing. I've tried a different download and burned different discs, but I am still experiencing problems with the system having a boot error. Sometimes it is immediate after installation and other times it might boot fine for a day or two and then suddenly it will no longer boot. Is there some kind of bug with 10.4 now? I never, never had this hard of a time with Ubuntu. I've installed it on several computers for myself and other people.

Say if I want to install openssh in traditional way with ./configure then make and make install which works fine in Fedora but not in Ubuntu as it gives error for a Mailer program when ran ./configure, as sendmail is by default installed in Fedora but not in Ubuntu. What I need to know is how yum/apt-get resolve this dependency problem? Is there any file in the OS where it's listed all the dependencies along with the package names like in Redhat installation CD there are some XML files where it lists all the packages along with their dependencies.

Recently my laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 has had an abrupt power shutoff (actually several times -- my battery has some problems).
Now when Ubuntu boots, I get the startup screen, but after a few seconds, the screen goes black. I can still boot from the live CD and in fact I am using my computer from the CD to write this post.
A few more details: When I press the power button while my computer is in this "blank" state, I get hard drive activity. Also, if I press "power", and then "enter", the machine actually shuts down.power
I'm trying to troubleshoot some strange networking problems. The pattern seems to be that only newer distributions are affected. CentOS 5.4 and Ubuntu 8.04 work fine out-of-the-box. But Arch, Sidux, AntiX, Fedora, etc. show the same pattern of errors.Certain websites cannot be found unless I disable ipv6 in Firefox. And certain addresses cannot be resolved using various terminal commands (wget, apt-get, yum, etc.). What I would ideally like is a permanent solution, perhaps changing some settings on my router, so that I don't have to deal with this each time I test-drive a new distro. I have a hunch the issue has something to do with my DSL provider (Fairpoint) filing for bankruptcy.
One more piece of information that may or may not be relevant: I recently switched a website from one hosting company to another. I noticed there was a delay of several days where I saw the old version at the old host, but viewing the site at a friend's house or the coffee shop showed the new site on the new host. This leads me to suspect DNS issues perhaps, but this is not an area of expertise.
Is there a way to set-up Virtualbox to auto-run upon startup.
I am working on my mothers computer and she has to have Windows for Internet Explorer. The websites she has to go on for work require IE6+, and there are a couple programs she has to run that only works with windows may work with Wine.
But she wants something more stable than windows... She has really bad luck when it comes to Windows, so I was talking to her about Ubuntu. After thinking everything over, If I could get her computer to startup with Virtualbox and run Win XP in it all her problems may be solved.She has 2 computers so I can play with one of them to figure it all out and she can play and learn Ubuntu.
I've seen similar posts but nothing that's been able to solve my issue.
System
Linux qbit 2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 11:55:36 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Gnome
Issue
Upon boot I can see the Ubuntu splash with the 6 white progress dots. No GDM or X11 session is started automatically with the progress screen simply remaining on display.
Temporary Solution
Stop GDM on vty7 and start it on vty1 or anywhere else for that matter - just not vty7 as this won't work. code...

Whenever I try opening the Gnome Activity Journal from Applications > Accessories > Gnome Activity Journal, it doesn't open, nothing shows up, and not even in the System Monitor.

I have a server that, due to the amount of data it's moving, tends to trash up the hard drive when I have a power outage or crash. It doesn't have a keyboard or monitor attached to it normally so it's a real pain when I have to boot it back up. I have to hook one up just to hit F to have it fix all the errors. Is there a way to have it do this automatically on boot rather then having to confirm it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMoved to virtualization forum: [URL].. I just upgraded my Ubuntu VirtualBox guest to Lucid. My host machine shares two folders with the guest. I have them listed in my /etc/fstab so they're automatically mounted:
share /mnt/share vboxsf defaults 0 0 For some reason, it looks like Ubuntu attempts to mount these shared folders twice. The first time, the mount doesn't succeed, but the second time, it does, so by the time I actually log in, the shares work properly.
Karmic would just print an error message at boot, but now Lucid makes me press a key to continue booting when the mount fails. Ideally, I'd like to figure out how to make the first mount attempt work properly. But if that's complicated, just disabling Lucid's prompt would make me happy.

I'm preparing a vitualization server (host) with VirtualBox. This machine, running Debian, is intended to run in HeadLess mode, without GUI.
I've got some guests VMs running. But I was wondering about the best way to start this guests VMs on startup and shut them down kindly when host is shutdwon.
Virtual Machines run under non-root user. I was thinking about making a script in /etc/init.d/ in order to start certain VMs and to stop every VM running when system is halted. Is this really the simplest and most secure approach?
Actually I couldn't find very much on this subject in user manual or googlin' around.

I've added httpd to runlevels 2-5 using chkconfig, and also double checked it using ntsysv, but it still won't run on startup, even though it works just fine when started manually (using "sudo service httpd start").The results of "chkconfig --list httpd" show it is on for levels 2-5, and I've confirmed the current runlevel to be 3.

I'm new to ubuntu, install was flawless, set up my email, chats everything was fine. Shut the computer off Weds night, turned it on Thurs now it won't boot. IS there a recovery anything built in so I can either repair the OS or get my file off the HD? Set up a dual boot of ubuntu so i could get my files but I dont know how to access them.
After a while I get the error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode"
"your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself."

i have 2 error messages while loading ubuntu 10.10:

ii)An error occurred while mounting /media/sdb1. Press S to skip.....
For (i) error I tried changing parameters in Startup-Manager but it still persists.Error (ii) is a result of my fiddling with fstab, psydm to auto mount drives on start up which eventually i solved through autofs however the error message is still coming.
I',m executing ping, but it didn't work, in order to find the mistake in my network I would like to know how to see the errors:
