I have been trying to run Centos 6 and 7 in virtualbox on this Fedora23 computer. Actually I also tried Scientific Linux and a DVD copy of Fedora 21 XFCE Live that I had on hand. The Fedora21 works as expected but I seem to be missing something in Centos and Scientific Linux. They boot and run with a text screen but startx reports "command not found" and a ping to other than

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

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

I need some help about kernels, modules and so on. I've installed CentOS6.5 (fresh install) on a DELL E7440 laptop. After all the updates I get the latest kernel: kernel-2.6.32-431. But with this config I've a problem: If I close the screen on the keyboard, the laptop hibernate. When I open it the system restart (I connect use ssh to reach the laptop) but the screen remains black

Dear all, I'm having trouble installing Centos 6.8, in a VM using VirtualBox, and hoping that someone on this distribution can help. I'm running VirtualBox Version 5.1.4 r110228 (Qt5.5.1). I downloaded .iso files for Centos 6.8: - CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso - CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso I proceeded to set up a new VM, selecting Linux / RedHat 64 bit. I selected the DVD1 iso

Hi, I've been trying to install Zimbra Desktop 7 on CentOS 5.5 using the usual perl script provided. The issue is, I get a warning that my system does not have ia32 libs. I dug a bit on google and found out that 'there is no such package as ia32 libs for Centos'. I also tried all the suggested work arounds like glibc & stuff, can anyone shed more light on this? Oh, the zimbra

I have some RPMs I've made of innotek's VirtualBox OSE (Open Source Edition) for both CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 (i386). These RPMs include the dkms support for the kernel driver, etc. I have a couple of subtle things to fix in the RPMs (like setting the permissions on udev devices, etc.) but they're already usable. Before I spend more time on it, and submit it for inclusion in the

Whenever I format a flash drive I'm always terrified that I'm going to fat-finger something in the terminal and accidentally blow away a partition on one of my hard drives. *shudder* Is gparted the best gui to handle this task? Or is there something better? I'd really prefer something more limited that just allows me to select whatever it sees as a removable drive and disallows any

The ISP that I do some occasional work for is planning to roll out a new and much faster Internet service, and as such they will be coming here on Monday to upgrade my connection so I can test and play with it for a few weeks before they roll it out for the general public. It would be convenient if I could set up a cron job that would run some sort of an upload/download speed test from me back to
