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 -

After some thought, it makes sense to use VirtualBox for teaching, since many people will probably start testing Linux using VirtualBox on Windows or macOS. Too

I have an older quad-core AMD processor that supports hardware virtualization on a motherboard that does not support it in the bios. Eventually I'll swap the mobo out on this box for one that will support hardware virtualization and use qemu-kvm. I prefer kvm because of SELinux and sVirt that protects the host from VM breakout should a VM become hostile. In the meantime, I want to start work

Anyone else having issues getting the VB drivers to load on 1708? I keep gettting an "Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel..." message. I do have kernel-devel installed and I had no issues running 1611 on the same host. Thanks

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with CentOS 7 and KDE 4.14, and I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised. This is one of the cleanest implementations of KDE I've ever seen, and with some tweaking (a lot, in fact) this can be turned into a highly functional desktop with all the bling and bells and whistles. But right now, I have some minor problems to solve. First things first. My system is

Hi, I just updated my installation media for CentOS. I have a few sandbox PCs in my office, and I'm testing CentOS 7.6 1810 on them. There seem to be a few issues with the CentOS 7.6 1810 DVD. Checked DVD integrity on startup : OK. First attempt : installer froze on root password dialog. Second attempt : installer froze on dependency calculation. Third attempt : installer froze on network

Hi I just upgraded a virtual Centos from 7.5 to 7.6 and now the VirtualBox Extensions won't compile with the kernel. I looked into the log file and found that I should try to execute: make oldconfig && make prepare but I get this result: scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig # # configuration written to .config # scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig make[1]: ***

Hi, I'm having a very weird problem with CentOS as a VirtualBox guest. Let me explain it step by step. tl;dr: I can install VirtualBox Guest Additions and configure a fullscreen 1280x1024 graphical resolution on a full install, but not on a reduced install with a lightweight window manager. Here's what I did. 1. Install vanilla CentOS 7 with KDE. 2. Boot to reduced 1024x768

Hi, I have a CentOS 7 (GNOME) desktop installed as a VirtualBox guest on my Slackware64 14.1 workstation, to fiddle with it. Guest Additions are installed and configured OK, and 3D acceleration is working too. In its default configuration, the GNOME desktop under CentOS shows an "expos?" (I don't know how you call this), a list of all open windows, when you move the mouse cursor to

Hi, Some time ago I installed CentOS 7 on an older MacBook Pro for a client, since she couldn't install a more recent version of Mac OS X on it. The installation was a bit of an adventure, and I wrote a little article about it: https://blog.microlinux.fr/centos-7-macbook-pro/ I made this installation about a year ago, and the only thing I changed since then is replacing Xfce by GNOME. I

Ran into this rather frustrating bug when working with VBOX on a Windows 10 host. It should come as no surprise that I would hit this bug when installing CentOS, and also with RHEL 7 Server with GUI (since you get the same kernel). Based on information from your bug list, I was fortunately able to workaround the trouble with: wget

Hi, Looks like the Audacious audio player from EPEL (which has worked fine in previous versions) is broken under CentOS 7.6. It refuses to start, and when I try to start it from the command line, here's what I get.

I just spent a few hours experimenting with the CentOS 7 installer in a VirtualBox guest with four virtual hard disks. I can now confirm this is a very stupid bug in the (very stupid) installer. Or at least one more random
