I appologize for not posting that I gave this approach up already. The issue was that I wanted to run virtual pc because I knew it would handle .vhd files. I'm testing out virtualbox at the moment. I need everthing to run from a flash drive on a bare metal machine for emergency disaster recovery situations. I was merely exploring all avenues that I found and wine was one of those avenues.

I see that Microsoft has a utility that (apparently) can read a running system and create an image that can then be imported and run on Virtualbox. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/disk2vhd "You can even have Disk2vhd create the VHDs on local volumes, even ones being converted (though performance is better when the VHD is on a disk different than ones being

Hi all, I have a Sun x2200 named Adra running OpenSolaris 2008.11 set up as a Dom0 per Levon''s instructions on this site. It hosts some production services and has been running nice and stable for a number of months now (with NetWare DomUs running GroupWise, believe it or not). The machine is pretty nicely speced out and there''s room for more virtualisation, so I was

Add ''-C'' (nocow) option to vhd-util create. Btrfs has terrible performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files (since having copy on write for this kind of data is not useful). According to ''chattr'' manpage, NOCOW

hi! what is the difference between wine and a virtualisation like virtualbox? what are advantages and disadvantages compared to each other? peter

My only use for VirtualBox is making screenshots of the installer, and sometimes for a quick test, because it's easy to make a VM clone in a single click. Niki -- Microlinux -

Hi, I'm currently working on my next Linux book, which will be an elementary course about CentOS administration. I'm using VirtualBox for all the installer screenshots. Since CentOS has recently been upgraded to version 7.6, I thought I might as well base all book references on this version. So I downloaded the 7.6 1810 minimal ISO and started a fresh installation in VirtualBox. I'm

Hi, at [Tails] we're in the process of shipping hybrid ISO images by default again. We're using `isohybrid -h 255 -s 63' to do that (thanks to the advice we got on this mailing-list a few months ago!). And then, we've discovered that sometimes, isohybrid produces ISO images whose size is not a multiple of 2048 bytes. Who cares? ... may you ask. Well, apparently, VirtualBox does:

Hi There, I''ve been trying to get this to work for the last couple of days, but found no information on the internet that would help. Essentially, a tap-ctl opencommand with a qcow2 image does not work (error code 2) and produces the following line in syslog: tap-ctl: tap-err:tap_ctl_open: open failed, err -2 I have attached a shell script that reproduces the problem on my machine.

> Wine's goal is to be compatible with Windows software including copy protection. For what I understand, although it may not be an easy job to do, Wine developers are planning to fully support copy protection at some point. They're not saying "it's never going to happen", it's just a matter of work.

Hi Is anyone here using VirtualBox? I've had it working rather well for some time, but after some recent upgrade or the other it's started exiting with a Segmentation fault just after startup, before windows are opened or anything. I've tried a few different versions, all with the same result. I'm using binary packages http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el. So,

I installed CentOS 7 in VirtualBox in OS X Yosemite, but the NIC is not getting an IP address. So I thought it was a problem with the thunderbolt adapter. ?I then installed CentOS 7 in VirtualBox on a box with CentOS 6.5. ?The network doesn't work in the VM either. ?Anyone tried CentOS 7 in VirtualBox (latest version) and have the network working? Thanks, -wes

Has anyone gotten virtualbox to run on Centos8? I did the install, and it complained about missing elflibs, so I installed those, and the virtualbox install finished without any reported problems. when i try to run virtualbox, it fails with this message: Qt FATAL: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this

Hello there, currently I have Windows on my machine because I need it for school. And because of my small hard disc (only 80 GB) I cannot install Linux. I have a magazine about Linux with an introduction to Samba. That's why I wanted to try out Samba. I downloaded VirtualBox and installed Archlinux. Samba is installed and I created a shared folder on Windows and on my Archlinux, but I
