Calling DB from a guest OS in Virtual Box

Hi all,
I have a Oracle Db 10g installed in my windows vista.
I have also a linux installed in virtual box.
I tried to connect from the guest os (linux) but no way.
I used the 'ping' command and it work 4/4.
SO, should I configure the listner of the Data base to accept externel connection. If yes how??
the enterprise edition which i have is academic one (I am student)
plz help and sorry for my bad english
Thanks

Thanks for the reply! I am planning on putting it on Mac hardware, and understand the licensing requirements of OS X server.
What I'm mostly interested in is if it will actually work on XenServer and if so, then if the performance is worthwhile (ie: it performs nearly as well as being on the server natively). If the performance is poor, then I won't bother with XenServer and go with ESXi and probably won't virtualize my Mac hardware.
My original intention was to go with ESXi for multiple reasons. I wanted to be able to run the Cisco Nexus 1000v, but the licensing requirements with VMware for enterprise type features is completely outrageous and not practical for a SMB.

Installing ArchLinx+Guest Additions in Virtual Box(error during guest)

The Arch Linux install seemed to go through smoothly. I installed it using the wiki page, rebooted, and logged in as root. I am installing this for a class, so trying to follow the instructions to do so. Next, we are supposed to install 'Guest Additions' for Virtual box using the instructions below:
Now, you should install "Guest Additions" for VirtualBox. Guest additions allows you to share files between host and guest systems. This is very convenient for development as you will need to copy files back and forth between the host and guest operating systems. You can download Guest Additions at *link*.
You need to start the virtual machine before you can continue installing Guest Additions. To do that, just select your VM name from the list on the left hand side in VirtualBox and click Start. After logging into Arch Linux, you should mount this ISO image just as you had mounted the Arch Linux ISO file. You can then mount the cdrom inside the Guest OS by doing:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
Now install the guest additions by doing:
cd /mnt/cdrom
sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
This will compile and install the kernel modules necessary for Guest Additions functionality. Please note that if you
recompile your own kernel (later as a part of project requirements), you will have to run this again so that the modules are
compiled and installed for the new kernel too.
Under settings for VBox, I mounted the Guest Additions image file, started Arch Linux, logged in as root, and followed the instructions above. I was able to do all of the above, but when I excute the last line, I am given this message:
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3971/linuxd.png
I have no idea where to go from here, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I feel like I have installed Arch Linux incorrectly. All the videos and pictures I see show a GUI type interface, but all I am presented with is a text-based interface. When I boot it up, it asks me to log in, and I am then taken to the command line, but I don't see the same GUI interface everyone else seems to have. Is this normal for a basic Arch Linux install? Thanks in advance.

Arch has no GUI until you install one. Some people don't want a GUI, so it's left to the user. The base install has only a command line interface.
You should probably read the Beginners Guide.
In case you missed them, there's two short articles, also on the wiki that might help you understand Arch, Arch Linux and The Arch Way

Installation as guest OS on Virtual Box

Hi,
I have downloaded Oracle Enterprise Linux and am trying to use the same as guest OS in Virtual Box on Windows Vista. While I managed to complete the installation successfully, I am not able to use it. When I power on the virtual machine and enter my username and password, it only displays a blank screen and nothing happens.
Can you help me out with this please ?

frits hoogland wrote:
As advised previously, run system-config-display. Another way to modify the screen resolution is to modify it directly in the X settings. But please try system-config-display.Thanks for your reply. I tried modifying the display resolutions from "System->Preference->Screen Resolution", but the only options available there are "800x600" and "640x320". Incidently, when checked in "System->Administration->Display" window, the video card is shown as "Unknow Video Card". Selecting any of the video cards from "Configure..." button does not help either.
I am not used to Linux and hence am trying to do things using GUI interface. Please let me know if I have to use text mode to do something that can not be achieved in GUI mode.

[SOLVED] Guest Arch in Virtual Box Internet Problems

I have installed Arch a few times already in virtual machines on Virtual Box and each time it is unable to configure the internet connection properly. Having gone through the beginner wiki-pages on starting with Arch, I have tried "ping -c 3 www.google.com" and get "ping: unknown host www.google.com". However, IP addresses usually work with 0% packet loss.
I then followed the "hwdetect" instruction and that yielded "-bash: hwdetect: command not found". The command "modprobe pcnet32" does not yield an error and returns nothing.
I have also tried other methods

Hi,
Pretty much the same here
That is strange but adding "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to /etc/resolv.conf enables me to access the internet. 192.168.0.1 is of course the IP of the host computer's vitual card but what is strange is: I need to use dhcpcd from guest to be given an IP that isn't even in the same range as 192.168.0.1 (for instance 10.0.2.15)!!
So to basically, host PC has that virtual ethernet card with static IP 192.168.0.1 and internet connection shared (don't know if this is compulsory though) and guest uses dhcp, is given 10.0.2.15 (don't ask me where it gets it from because I disabled it on VirtualBox). Then I just have to add "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to resolv.conf and I'm good... till dhcpcd rewrites the resolv.conf. How could we set dhcp to use a particular DNS?
As you can see, I am not a DNS expert. Using static IPs for both would be great but it doesn't work
Does it help?
The 10.x.x.x.x address range is assigned because you are most probably using NAT networking on the Virtual Box configuration.
Try with 'Bridged'.
If all goes well you shouldn't need to fiddle with /etc/resolv.conf.
Still, if you still need to change /etc/resolv.conf, put your changes in a file called /etc/resolv.conf.head which will survive
the changes that sometimes DHCP does on /etc/resolv.conf.

Cannot install Guest Additions Virtual Box

Hallo!I am a total newbie in Solaris and Virtual Box.
I have installed Solaris 10 (guest OS)via Virtual Box in XP (host OS). I would like to install other s/w in Solaris (SUNWi1cs and SUNWi15cs so that I can install Oracle 10g).
To do this,I must install Guest Additions first.I have gone to Devices ->Install Guest Additions but nothing seems to happen.I have tried to mount CD/DVD-ROM and also the Solaris.iso file but still nothing happens.
Eventually I would like to install SUNWi1cs and SUNWi15cs as below
pkgadd –d /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs
Please help me.
Thanks.

Did you follow the instructions at http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#id463751

How to install SUNWi1cs in Solaris 10 under Virtual Box

Hallo!I am a total newbie in Solaris.
I have installed Solaris 10 (guest OS)via Virtual Box in XP (host OS).I would like to install Oracle 10g in Solaris 10 but prerequisite s/w like SUNWi1cs and SUNWi15cs aren’t installed.
I have been trying to install this through commands such as
pkgadd –d /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs
but this directory does not exist.
How would I access this directory ?Will this mean mounting the CD-ROM with a Solaris 10 DVD-R disc or can I access the Solaris 10 virtual box files in the XP path shown below
C:\Documents and Settings\JOEY\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\SOLARIS_10\PRODUCT
The Oracle 10g for Solaris zipped file is in the XP OS.How do I transfer this file (and any other files in XP)into Solaris 10 to be able to install Oracle 10g in Solaris under Virtualbox?
Thanks.

Hi,
If u have installed Solaris operating system on some VMWare by iso file then it will treat iso file as CD. So that following steps will resolve ur issue.
1. Mount that iso file into /mnt file system.
For example ur iso mounted file system like this:-
/mnt/cdrom/Solaris_10/Product
2. Then run this command:-
pkgadd -d /mnt/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi512
It will ask would to like to add these then type Y
3. Successful installed package message will displayed.
It is the right way to add package from source

Internet in Virtual box

I am having windows xp as a guest in my virtual box.
I am connected to internet in arch through bluetooth by ppp method. using pon airtel command.
So how can i access the internet in my vbox.

You don't need these modules for NAT networking.

Virtual box xrandr - failed to change the screen configuration

I am using Arch as guest in the Virtual Box
xrandr -q says 36000x36000 is the maximum mode.
I want my screen to be of maximum mode 36000x36000 which will is needed in my project.
IN my xorg.conf I have added the mode 36000x36000 but when I try
xrandr -q it shows 36000x36000
but when I try xrandr -s 36000x36000 it says

do you have enough video memory allocated to the virtualbox? i'm guessing it would take a lot of video ram to produce such a high resolution.

Hi, this is amit from india. just started using iphone 4s. i am observing that when an incoming call comes, the phone smtimes shows two virtual buttons of red and green color so as to attend or reject the call. but smtimes it just shows green button. why?

Hi, this is amit from india. just started using iphone 4s. i am observing that when an incoming call comes, the phone smtimes shows two virtual buttons of red and green color so as to attend or reject the call. but smtimes it just shows green button with a slider to attend the call and there is no red button to reject the call. is it a bug or some setting?

Because it behaves differently depending on whether the phone is locked (in standby) or unlocked (in use) when the call comes in.

Start host process from within guest OS

I am using VMWare Workstation 10.
Some of my vm's are dedicated to compiling code using CruiseControl.NET.
What I am attempting to do is add a step that automates testing a completed setup on several clean virtual machines. From what I can see, the guest OS will be required to 'announce' to the host OS that a build has completed and then launch a process to revert the virtual machines, start the virtual machines and then launch a process that does the following:
Copy the setup.exe from a known location to a directory on the virtual machine
Launch the setup.exe with parameters from a command line
Wait for setup.exe to finish
Launch an automated testing tool to validate basic functionality of the application.
Wait for automated testing to complete
Shut down the virtual machines
Wait for next successful build
I am attempting to work on this problem using vmrun.exe within a powershell script. With this script I can successfully revert virtual machines, start and stop virtual machines.
What I am trying to work out is how to pass data from CruiseControl.net in the guest operating system to the host operating system. So I am turning to this community to see if anyone here has any ideas?
I have not read of any ideas of communication from the guest to the host while there is a 'host' <yeah, pun is intended> of information of sending info from the host to the guest. Note that the guest OS does not have VMWare Workstation installed, nor is it desirable to do this.
My initial thoughts, even as I write this question, is that all of the guest OS build machines map a drive to the host. At the end of of a successful build the setup is copied to a directory and a sentinel file is updated with information. The host OS will have CruiseControl.net installed and will monitor for file changes for the sentinel file. When changed then it will start the automated testing process.
Is there a better way to accomplish this goal?
I appreciate any suggestions.
Sincerely,
Dan Lee | Release Engineer

>I guess I was expecting VPC to work like Remote Desktop, where you would automatically see the host drives listed in Windows Explorer ("C on hostname", "D on hostname", etc).
It really should, but there's a RDP update that messes up this
functionality.
>Edit 2: I've just set up a mapped drive, but it seems very unreliable. It gets slower and slower as I "drill down" through folders on the host, and right-clicking a file to copy it to the guest causes Windows Explorer to hang, and never
shows the context menu. I've tried uninstalling IS from the guest and re-installing/enabling it, but it made no difference. Thoughts?
Turn of all TCP and UDP offloading in the NIC properties on the host. Not
all NIC's are fully compatible on that feature.

[SOLVED] Arch Linux Guest Virtual Box OSE problem

So I am installing my Arch Linux as a Guest in my Ubuntu partition, through Virtual Box OSE (3.2.8). I followed the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … lBox_Guest ) but still have an issue:
sudo pacman -S kernel26-headers xorg gcc make
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
sudo /mnt/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
But It fails on Shared folders, and cannot recognize X:
:: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions Kernel Modules [BUSY]
:: Building the main Guest Additions module [DONE]
:: Building the shared folder support module [FAIL]
(Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find otu what went wrong)
:: Warning: Unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not installing X Window System drivers.
:: Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components [Done]
/var/log/vboxadd-install.log states:
/tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:406:9: error: unknown field 'clear_inode' specified in initalizer
/tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:406:9 warning: initalization from incompatible pointer type.
Which is strange, because as far as I know, clear_inode is part of the linux headers.
Any idea why this is happening? Do I just need to update VirtualBox to a newer version?

It'll depend on which networking mode you're using on that guest. If you're using the default (NAT), you can simply reach your host os on the default gateway ip of the guest's network adapter.

Is it possible to transfer stuff from a guest ipod to your ipod??

is it possible to transfer stuff from a guest ipod to your ipod??

Yes, if you use a little bit of software called Podplus. You can use it for free for 15 days. All the info is on
