Nov 3, 2010I have been using 3CX on Vista for 2 years now. I recently upgraded my PC to run Ubuntu 10.4. I installed Sun's VirtualBox and set up a virtual machine within which I run Windows 7. I then installed the latest version of 3CX in this virtual machine/Windows7 environment and used the back up config to setup the new 3CX system. It works great, but for one thing.... When voice mail messages are left by callers, it does not seem to exist. The message is not in the users account, and is not sent by eMail as a wav file as it used to

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Configure A HA Virtual Servers With Windows VMs?
Mar 30, 2010I have a project in school that the requirement is to show the proof of concept of a high availability virtual servers. the guest operating system for the test case will be a Windows variant and a Linux variant that if the main host that hosts both of this VMs fails, both VMs will be restarted on the backup host. Simple enough with VMware vSphere and citrix xenserver with essentials with their enterprise features, But I am not allowed to use a software that one will need to pay-for or is only a trial version, i need to use an open source solutions, and i am not allowed to use virtualbox.
the school has provided me 2 server class 64bit hardware with intel-vt support, i have my laptop for management tools and to also run a virtual appliance for a iscsi target (openfiler as a vm in virtualbox in my laptop).
I have figured that i will use KVM on a ubuntu server as my hypervisor but i cant find any how-to on how to implement a high availability setup that will run a windows variant as a guest. can some one give me a step by step on how to do this.
from my research it looks like i will need DRBD and heartbeat, but i dont know how to use them and if they are applicable in my needs. I wouldn't probably use DRBD since I have a sudo SAN with my iscsi target, so i can probably use open-iscsi.
Ubuntu Installation :: Install On Windows Virtual PC?
May 1, 2010I'd like to install the 10.04 32-bit inside a Windows7 VirtualPC.Got the cd burned, and my virt-pc set up (1 GB RAM, 16GB fixed size virtual disk).I started up the virt-pc, and it automatically booted up from the cd, getting as far as asking me what language I'd like to use, but after selecting English and pressing enter, the virtual-pc window just blinked away.Subsequent attempts to start the virt-pc result in a window popping up, listing some text (free memory, can't read the rest -- too fast), which then blinks away almost immediately.
I was using these URL... directions as a guide.Anyone know if this should work? Or should I go with VirtualBox?The host pc is running 64-bit-win7-pro, amd quad-core, 4gb ram, lots of free disk, in case any of that matters.
Ubuntu :: Updating Windows Vista Under Virtual Box?
Jan 20, 2011Ubuntu noob and a noob question. I have Ubuntu 10.10, Virtual Box OSE 3.2.8, which I've used to install Windows Vista. Why you ask? Believe it or not the intranet system my work uses doesn't run properly under Ubuntu. Warning message pops up saying so.
My question is, as I need the copy of Vista to run Internet Explorer (may download the Windows version of Firefox as I'm already fed up with IE) I don't need any of the extras like Office etc. So do I need to update Vista? Is it worth downloading the secuirty updates?

View 7 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: VM Virtual Box - Ubuntu 10.04 And Windows XP Home SP3?
Jun 26, 2010I am currently running WinXP Home w/SP3 only. I have downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 but has not been installed. I just came across "Virtual Box" in an article posted in Full Circle (issue #38). I kinda like the idea of being able to run different OSs without having to "reboot" to use one or the other. So, as a NEWBIE, I want to know how to go about installing Ubuntu on the same drive (if feasible), which Virtual Box to download and install, and basically .. what I need to do to get all this "stuff" working properly. I would suspect that .. with Win XP already installed that XP should (or mostly likely will be) the "HOST" OS with Ubuntu as the "GUEST".
Or, I guess that .. after installing Ubuntu, that I can designate Ubuntu as HOST. I am assuming that a "dual boot" configuration will be in order. I guess ultimately I would like to use Ubuntu solely and eventually do away with Windows. I use my computer as an "END USER" primarily for browsing, checking email, and such. No business, no office related stuff, no "on-line" gaming. I would like to keep XP ... at least for some time longer; at least until MS finally drops support! I cannot see continuing to BUY a new OS version every 3-5 years and just gets more and more expensive
General :: Ubuntu - Running A Virtual Machine On Windows 7?
Jun 5, 2010I want to do two things: Set up a virtual machine on Windows 7 to run Ubuntu Set up a way for the virtual machine to read the windows disk or windows to have read/write access to the virtual machine's disk. My goal is to have a place where both Ubuntu and Windows can read and write. What software is good for this task? Are their free programs that can run virtual machines? Also if my machine is running Windows 7 64-bit, can I install Ubuntu 32-bit? Or am I forced to use Ubuntu 64-bit? Or does it not matter?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Set Up A VPN Connection From With Virtual Windows XP - Virtualbox
Feb 1, 2010Trying to set up a VPN connection from with Virtual Windows XP (virtualbox) and the network shows verifying user name and password but then times out and give me a message that it could not connect to the serve.
Since I could connect from a Windows system at another location, I assume there is something in Ubuntu that is preventing the connection so I tried to set up a VPN connection in Ubuntu.
I installed "network-manager-pptp" and "pptp-linux" as mentioned in the documentation but when I try to create a VPN connection using [main menu]>[System]>[Preferences]>[network connections] the VPN tab has a padlock on it. I set up the VPN but did not put a DOMAIN name on it because the server does not have a DOMAIN and it did not appear to be necessary on the dedicated Windows machine.
In spite of configuring the VPN connection, I cannot find the connection anywhere so I can see the server at the other end.
When I try to use [main menu]>[places]>[Connect to Server] using [windows share] and enter the IP number of the server, I get the message "Cannot display location smb:// {server IP address}"
And if anyone knows why the Virtual windows cannot connect.
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Lucid In Windows 7 - Microsoft Virtual PC
Aug 15, 2010Do not attempt to make any changes to your operating system without fully understanding and accepting that if you screw up, you get to start from scratch. This tutorial involves editing files and folders independent from your Operating system and is relatively safe.
From this point, we'll assume your running Windows 7 and have Virtual PC installed. And before anyone thinks "Hey, what about VMWare or blah blah blah", don't clutter this thread, if they want to do that, they'll Search for Ubuntu on VMWare :wink)
I wanted to run a couple linux apps without rebooting my machine. What follows is an exploration in self mutilation and approaches voluntary masochism. I have discovered that while patience is a virtue, there is nothing virtuous about her. After reading over and over article after article on how you can't use Microcrap's built in Virtual PC for Windows 7, you have to use 3rd party to run a Linux VM. I called ******** and found some lingering threads buried deep within the ubuntu forums. This example is kind of thorough although it lacks the ease of use for people who don't know what they are doing.
A little primer on virtual machines. A virtual machine is a translatable snapshot of an operating system that will play on any machine. It does so by providing a known set of generic hardware with varying levels of complexity based on which OS is running on which machine. In this example, a copy of Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (lucid-32bit) is being run within a window on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine.
Now for the why don't you just set up a dual boot machine and take full advantage of the power of the penguin. Well, it's not that easy, for a multitude of reasons. The biggest is convenience. I have instant access to files updated on either machine within the other, without the wait of a reboot just a quick ALT-TAB. I'm also not stuck to just terminal linux commands through a telnet session to another box. I rarely go beyond the terminal prompt in normal testing, however there are some network tools and testing consoles that I prefer in Linux. And yes, I do have a dual boot option should I want to flaunt my super 64-bit penguin power.
So, on with the story... After spending nearly a day trying this and that and seeing who did what and what wasn't working on my machine, it boiled down to what can Windows Virtual PC do, what hardware does it present to an operating system when it's enhancements are turned completely off (coincidence they would only support RedHat linux? I think not, see approved government operating systems).
When getting setup to start your image, you need a few large downloads, and you need to make your list before you start the process, so you can walk away and watch some tube or mow the lawn. Files needed to get you started: (these will not change typically)Microsoft Virtual PC There will most likely be 3 downloads for this. The upside is you get a "free copy" of windows XP professional out of it. The next file you will need is an ISO of the version of Linux you would like I chose Ubuntu 10.04 32bit, but this will work on most debian kernels I do not recommend 64 bit linux anything at this point unless you dual boot only, it's problematic. Do not burn the ISO to a DVD or CD (I'll explain why later)
Okay, we have all we need downloaded to a common location that we remember right? Great, let's get started installing Microsoft Virtual PC. If your install is similar to mine, you'll install in this order:
WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe
Windows6.1-KB958559-x64.msu
Windows6.1-KB977206-x64.msu
Of course change to -i386 if your running 32 bit Windows 7.Now that we have this installed, reboot the computer, after you log back in, check for windows updates by start button and type 'wuauclt /detectnow' without the quotes. Install any updates and reboot yet again.Now we've prepped the computer for adding Virtual PC's. If you want to see what a virtual machine will be like, you can go ahead and run the Windows XP Mode and see how nifty it is to have a clean system to try software on (that's isolated from your real system of course.)
Now on to creating some penguin powered windows. Open Windows Virtual PC. You will see a file explorer type of window with the option to Organize, Include in library, Share with, Burn, Create virtual machine, New folder.
Select 'Create virtual machine'
This will open up a wizard that we will use to setup the environment for Linux. Because this is not a Microsoft innovation, we want it to be as stable as possible.Type in the name you'd like to use, something to identify the OS you intend to install, I used AnotherOS but I would choose something more memorable, especially if you plan on creating multipe VM's The Location should be set for you, although you may put it on another Hard Drive if you would like (perhaps you don't want to allocate space on your SSD and prefer it on your SATA drive) Now for RAM, this is the amount of ram that will be reported to the new operating system, in this example I chose 512, I would recommend at least 1024 if you plan on doing anything graphically intense. For the most part, this will be a chunk of real memory that Windows 7 will not be able to use while the virtual machine is active. You don't want to set it to 3096 if you only have 4096 available and then try to run Autocad on Windows 7 and open your pocket Linux to do some geological survey conversions.
Networking, just leave this checked, we'll address this later. On with the show We want to create a virtual hard disk using advanced options. NEXT Choosing Fixed size because we want this to be as stable as possible. As far as name and location, it's typically simpler to keep it the same. It will have a different extension so NEXT. Now we specify a size. For reference, a typical Linux install, including swap drive portion is around 5gb (assuming you end up installing nearly every package available). I chose 16384 because that was the number that popped up and it was big enough to download nearly anything I could ever want to. Now we are ready to hit Create. You should see this screen and assuming everything happens like it's supposed to, you may close the window.
