I can connect to my Ubuntu machine from a windows machine using windows remote desktop.
But I can't run programs like sublime as it crashes the xrdp. I can open terminals and simple text editor programs on Ubuntu without crashing the xrdp.
If I run glxgears while on the xrdp session, it prints the error :
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
While I can ssh to Ubuntu and run glxgears just fine.
What could be the issue here?
Thank you!
All fixed after installing the latest version of xrdp
I am using Windows 10 and VBox v5.1.6r110634 (Qt5.5.1). Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS and GNOME Terminal 3.18.3.
I am trying to copy from a Ubuntu system to my Windows 10 Visual Studio v14.0.25431.01 Update 3. I have set Ubuntu's settings to be bidirectional just as described on a web page (Settings->General->Advanced->Shared Clipboard and Drag'n'Drop to Bidirectional). But the copy/paste from a terminal to Windows does not work. I have verified that the Copy operation in Ubuntu works because I can then Past to Ubuntu. But when I try to Paste to Visual Studio it does not work. I have tried a complete shutdown of Vbox and restarted it but still no help. I have checked to be sure I have the guest additions loaded so that is not the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be going on?
Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD Image -> Install -> Restart.
Remember activate bi-directional shared clipboard!
You may also need to install some libraries if its from a standard Ubuntu desktop build
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-ext-pack
And Install Insert Additions CD Image from the device menu of the virtualbox window of the running VM.
How to enable bi-directional copy and paste on virtual box/ubuntu 16.4
pkill 'VBoxClient --clipboard' -f & sleep 1 && VBoxClient --clipboard
I ran this command on virtualbox(5.2)/ubuntu(16.4). It worked for me. I have enabled the bi-direction mode in settings->advance as well and after that ran this command.
Finally, trying so many methods, this one worked for me.
I am trying to install Mac(OSX-Mavericks) using virtualbox On Windows 8.1.
Everything works fine But, when MAC Installation setup starts in virtual machine, it keep on loading and do not start the installation wizard stays on the first screen.
I have waited for a log time like 3-4 hrs but unable to figure out the problem as there is no error.
I am using a dell(Inspiron 3537).
I have installed Mac on my previous Samsung laptop successfully in the same way.
I will provide other information on demand as I'm not sure where the problem is as setup loads but not starts the installation process.
Thanks in advance
enable virtualisation on your BIOS, it may helps.
Open an administrator CMD shell and try this:
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox"
VBoxManage modifyvm <name_of_your_vm> --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff
Then close/VirtualBox and open again (to save your new settings). Boot OSX with "-v" flag.
I've installed the genymotion+virtualbox package on Windows 7 64-bit and everything goes fine... But when I start Genymotion it presents me an error message Unable to load virtualbox.
VirtualBox is installed and I'm able to start it manually. I've tried to install the packages separately, updated virtualbox to 4.2.16 but nothing worked.
I've already read genymotion FAQ but it did not help.
I have spend all day to solve this error since none of the answers worked for me.
I found out that oracle virtual box doesn't install the network adapter correctly in windows 8.1
Solution:
Delete all previous virtual box adapters
Go to device manager and click "Action" > "Add legacy hardware"
Install the oracle virtual box adapters manually (my path was C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netadp\VBoxNetAdp.inf)
Now that virtual box adapters is installed correctly, it needs to be setup correctly. (the following solution is like many other solution in here)
Start Oracle VM VirtualBox and go to "File" > "Preferences" > "Network" > "Host-only Network"
Click edit
Set IPv4 192.168.56.1 mask 255.255.255.0
Click DHCP Server tab and set server adr: 192.168.56.100 server Mask: 255.255.255.0 low address bound: 192.168.56.101 upper adress bound 192.168.56.254
Now click OK and start genymotion
Had the same problem, Uninstall Genymotion, install VirtualBox stand alone from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads then install the Genymotion package without VirtualBox.
Try closing Android Studio/Eclipse if it's open. It worked for me.
In Linux at least, I had to restart VirtualBox, running this command on terminal:
/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox restart
Seems to be the same on Mac OS X.
What worked for me in Windows 7 is to remove the Host-only Network (in Oracle virtual box Preferences menu [CTRL+G] -> Network -> Host-only Networks). Genymotion will recreate it automatically at the next virtual device start. For the record; I'm using a Nexus S 2.3.7 virtual device.
Open Genymotion in Windows as an administrator. My Genymotion works only in this mode
FIXED SOLUTION
Run below command in terminal, It denotes where is your virtualbox install on MAC/Linux.
$ which vboxmanage
/usr/local/bin/VBoxManage
Genymotion search the virtualBox in /usr/bin/VBoxManage while it is located to /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage , you need to create the symlink to that location , Run in terminal to fix it.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/bin/VBoxManage
I am using Intellij IDEA and same error happened to me, I found that the path to genymotion folder was not configured properly. Either open settings using File > Settings or press Ctrl + Alt + S then in IDE Settings check if the path to the genymotion folder is correct or not.
Since Android Studio are almost similar to Intellij IDEA so you can apply the same steps above to Android Studio as well.
Actually it seems like Genymotion has an issue with the newer versions of Virtual box, I had the same issue on my Mac but when I downgraded to 4.3.30 it worked like a charm.
Verify that GenyMotion is in your PATH environment variable. I noticed mine was not auto populated, so once I entered it, it was fine.
For Windows there are 2 installers. Did you use the bundle containing VirtualBox installer?
It is call Windows 32/64 bits (with VirtualBox).
Don't ask what this has to do with that , but by right clicking the genymotion application file and changing to compatibility to Vista solved the problem!
I also experienced this when I upgraded operating system from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Un-installing Virtualbox and re-installing worked for me.
Close Android Studio (if Android Studio is running)
Run Genymotion as administrator
that's all! simple.
try launching it via android-studio/eclipse plugin. Thats how I had similar issue when launching it from ubuntu.
I have recently started using VirtualBox to get my Linux environment rather than fully using Ubuntu. For me this works well. But recently i have realized that in the Ubuntu vm the only thing I use a lot is the terminal, mostly just because I need the Linux environment and not the full desktop.
So I tried installing Ubuntu server into a VM, which worked. But as soon as I reboot the machine, it fails after the system boot logo. After BIOS and where I would log on from the command line I simply get a black screen with a non blinking cursor. So I am never fully able to boot into the vbox.
I read up on the command line version, trying to run it headless and then connecting to it from demote desktop. after starting the vbox I am able to connect to the desktop and see the grub screen but after selecting Ubuntu I get that same non-blinking cursor.
So is this really possible? I tried cygwin but it never really felt adequate to me. I like and am very comfortable with the Ubuntu/Debian command line. How could I (if possible) accomplish this? I want to be bale to start up the VBox and get the full command line for that vbox session. Any ideas?
Ubuntu version: 10.10, VirtualBox v. 4.0.4 r70112 and I am on Windows 7 Ultimate.
You didn't mention the versions of Ubuntu and Virtualbox.
I failed twice to install full Ubuntu 10.10 over the latest VirtualBox 4.0.4 over Ubuntu (problems like those you describe), so I switched to Debian 6.0.
All you require to install Ubuntu headless is to install the server version, which you already did. If you get blank screens, tweak the ioapic settings in both VB and Ubuntu. Another tweak is to switch between IDE and SATA drivers for the main disk (the Grub in my non-virtualized Ubuntu hangs if there's USB media attached at boot time).
If you can run full Ubuntu on a VM, you can try downgrading it by removing the xserver-xorg package, or changing the default runlevel.
If all you want is a Linux consule, you can install Debian 6 without any GUI components.
