I have been trying to install VirtualBox on Mac os High Sierra but installation is failing. I tried all the steps provided here Virtualbox not installing on High Sierra but nothing worked for me. Basically, while installing, it is not asking me if I should allow outside app from Oracle or not. After the failed installation, I see that the VirtualBox still got installed but when I start a vm, it errors out and gives all sorts of other errors. Any thoughts?

I am using MacOS Mojave and have installed VirtualBox VM. My OS in VM is Ubuntu. My problem is that I want my VM machine to be fullscreen. I have tried every method given on stackoverflow but none seems to work.
I have read that
Oracle VM VirtualBox does not provide Guest Additions for Mac OS X at this time.
I found the above statment on https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch14.html Does this mean that fullscreen is not possible?
If there is a way to fullscreen, then kindly let me know.

It is possible for Guest Ubuntu to get fullscreen in Host Mac. You need to install Guest Additions. You can get them(for virtualbox 6.1) here-
Guest Addtions
-
Open your Terminal.
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils
Virtualbox and Genymotion are up-to-date.
I can create and start VMs in Virtualbox.
System Integrity Protection is enabled.
Upgrading or installing VirtualBox fixed it:
Download from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Open the dmg (mac)
Run the uninstaller
Run the installer
same here. Genymotion on El-Capitan is completely broken. Tried several Virtual box versions (4.3 5.0) and the latest genymotion 2.5.2. Still no luck.
Update: Finally got it working using this:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/vboxmanage /usr/bin/vboxmanage
See:
Genymotion Error: "Unable to load VirtualBox Engine" on Yosemite. VirtualBox installed
I have installed Inkscape 0.48.2 on my brand new mac mini running Mavericks but I can never get it to work as it crashes. It once asked me about the X11 server which I have installed but it never worked ever since. What should I do?
Make sure you installed Xquartz for the X server. http://xquartz.macosforge.org/
To see the logs you can try from the command line:
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/Inkscape
I upgraded my OSX to Lion. As I went to install couchdb locally I found that the installer link for mac on http://couchdb.apache.org was gone and replaced with "Mac OS X binaries coming soon". I haven't used couchdb before but I know it was there at one point.
A friend sent me a copy zipped up which he installed on his Snow Leopard OSX. This installed and I could access the Admin Console, but I was unable to access futon.
Is there a reason the button is missing, or is there another way to install it?
My guess is that the site is detecting my operating system and they just aren't ready for 10.7.5 yet. But How do I go about installing a local version?
To install I followed the steps in this post Couch DB installation not working on Mac OSx Lion.
It worked like a charm step by step.
The new version 1.2.1 has recently been released and packed for Mac OSX. You can download it from http://couchdb.apache.org/#download or from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/couchdb/packages/mac/1.2.1/Apache-CouchDB-1.2.1.zip
I am trying to install Mac OSX on Windows XP using virtualbox and keep getting this message: BSD root: disk1s3, major 14, minor 3. I have assigned an 80gb virtual hard drive and have tried other iso files, but get the same message.
Technically installing MAC OSX on a virtual machine is against the EULA. That being said it's not a trivial operation to get OSX running on a VM. You might want to check out The OSX86 Project
