Virtual Box Error

I have been trying to import solaris 11 on VM virtual box and this i have successfully completed. But while trying to open the solaris OS, i got the error message that "VT-x/AMD-V hardware accelerator is not avilable on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot". Can someone please tell me what this error is actually saying and how to overcome it.
Thanks.

What host os and CPU are you using? The message states that you need virtualization hardware support in the CPU (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) in order to run that 64 bit guets OS. Reasons for this error (that I could think of) could be:
- you have a very old cpu
- you have disabled virtualization in your bios
- you are running a 32-bit host os

Virtual Box error: error mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt

Hello folks,
After getting fed up with Ubuntu's bloated setup, I was trying to switch to Arch linux. But before that I wanted to try it in Virtual Box. I was using Arch Linux Core image for this. But after setting up file system and mountpoint I am getting this error:
error mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt
The steps I followed:
1. Source: Core local
2. Editor: Nano
3. Clock: As usual
4. Prepare hard drive:
a) Manually Partition (as this is what I will be doing during actual installation)
b) /dev/sda
c) New partition on all space available on virtual machine, making it primary, bootable, Type: Linux Extended (option 85).
d) Write partition and Quit and Done
5. Manually configure block device, filesystems and mountpoints.
a) dev
b) Do not recreate file system.
c) Set ext4 format and mount point, ignoring swap space or seperate /boot partition.
d) Now when I goto next step as Done, It gives an error : Error mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/.
Is there any problem with creating the filesystem as I have done? Can anyone shed some light if there is any particular configuration needed for virtual machine. I searched the forum for other options. But none of them seem applicable for me.
Thank you for your time.

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

ERROR installing MAC OSX onto my W510 Mint 9 Virtual Box.....

Hi all,
Im running Linux Mint 9 & trying to install osx 10.6.3 via latest virtual box. (for viewing purposes only!!) Ive tried it with Empire EFI, iBoot and Legacy boot cd.
All settings in VB are as tutorials that are out there on the web so im pretty sure my settings are ok. Once one of the above bootable discs loads it asks me to replace the disc with the msc os dvd (retail) and then press F5
So i wait for the osx disc to mount, wait for about 1-2 minutes (as advised), press F5 and the disc starts spinning for about a second then stops. The following error then comes up on the Virtual screen window:
Block 0x18a96a sectors 0
this continues to scroll down the page then nothing. Im pretty much useless at pc's and i only use them for wmy work (CAD) Ive been getting help from a guy who is trying to step by step me through the installation process, he has installed it but running Ubuntu.
Here is the link to our blog he has created on his web page. (which i have to say a big thanks you to him for)
Moderator edit; Link removed
So can anyone suggest why the disc is not loading from the DVD drive? possibly a simple setting on my w510?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Error installing virtual box guest additons

On my windows 7 laptop I have virtual box 4.0 . I installed Oracle enterprise linux 5.5 and i want to make a shared folder . When i run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run I get the folowing :
"Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules . If the following module compilation fails then this could be the reason .
The missing package can be probably installed with yum install kernel-devel-2.6.18-195.el5"
After this it invite me to see the content of file /var/log/vboxadd-install.log . In this log it tell me it can not find the kernel sources .
What can I do? I must download anothr version of Oracle enterprise linux? wihich one?
Many thanks,
Aurel

Hello,
I configured the yum tool (as I find out on http://public-yum.oracle.com/) and I run yum install kernel-devel . After that I run sh /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
The process of building kernel modules for Virtual Box additions is ending in error - it doesn't know about gcc tool. In what package there is this tool?
Thank you,
Aurel

Install stuck: SBS 2011 Essentials on a Virtual Box

I’m trying to do a test install of SBS 2011 Essentials on a Virtual Box virtual machine running on a Win7 64-bit machine. I put the install partition on an external
drive.
The install stops on a window that is titled Installing Windows. The screens says: “There was a problem during the installation. To restart the installation
click Restart. You can also view the installation error logs.”
When I open those installation error logs, I see no error. (It does have Info and Warning lines.)
I’m stuck there. If I could paste in the the contents of the error logs I would, but I can’t copy from the VM until there is an installed OS.
Any help appreciated.

Hello Rob,
There may still be a problem with two things.'
1) Installing it on your external hard drive. If it is a 'usb' drive, then it seems at times the software\drivers still causes some type of conflict depending on what type of system you have.
2) Your network interface card is configured set.
Going off the assumption that you have the latest virtual box software, your problem may be point number '1'
Solution that works for some: Installed the virtual machine locally. (Remember, you can still set the disk dynamically to 160 whether you have the space locally or not) Then transfered it to an external drive after everything was installed and
working.
Caveat: Shame to say, you may not have local storage large enough to hold the vm. This is why you probably bought the external drive in the first place. Hope this helps. Just find a machine that will allow you to create the vm locally first
if you can.

Need help installing Virtual box Windows VM's

I am installing virtual box on wife's mac.   I got the instructions here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/04/internet-explorer-for-mac-ie7-ie8-ie-9-free/
I did it previously and it all worked well. Recently the windows session license expired so I reinstalled that portion and it worked for about a week. Then the Virtual box program just stopped working.   So I uninstalled the virtual box and am attempting to reinstall all components.
First step is install Virtual box from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads   This went ok andvirtual box runs but there are no VM's.
There is then a script to install the windows VM's. It is failing.
Script is accessed by copyinf this command into terminal:
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | bash
This is the error I get.   It seems there is a file that already exists but I'm stumped as to what to do.

Here is how I install mine, for numbers I will assume you have a 100GB HDD and 2GB of RAM:
Boot from Win7 DVD and create two partitions, then install Windows7 on one of them. During the install Windows will create a 3rd partition to boot from. You will now have:
sda1 - 100MB - Windows Boot - boot flag
sda2 - 50GB - Windows 7 - no flags
sda3 - 50GB - Unpartitioned Space - no flags
Next boot into Arch and choose to manually partition the drives using cfdisk, using the unfinished space create 3 logical partitions of the sizes 100MB, 2GB, and 50GB. Mark the 100MB one you just created with a boot flag and unmark the 100MB one Windows created.
Now you should have:
sda1 - 100MB - Windows Boot - no flags
sda2 - 50GB - Windows 7 - no flags
sda3 - 50GB - Unpartitioned Space - no flags
sda5 - 100MB - Linux Boot - boot flag
sda6 - 2GB - Linux Swap - no flags
sda7 - 50GB - Arch - no flags
Click OK/Confirm/Write and then continue to the next step - File Systems and Mountpoints.
Here you need to set the FS for sda5,6,7 and make sure not to touch sda1,2. Choose ext2 for sda5, swap for sda6, and ext3 for sda7. You will also be asked for mountpoints. Pick "/boot" for sda5 and "/" for sda7. Click OK/Confirm/Write and then continue to install Arch like normal, when you get to installing the bootloader make sure to install it on /dev/sda and uncomment the Windows part of the grub/menu.lst file.
Reboot the system and you are done

Can't install oracle 10g on windows XP(Virtual Box)

Hi all,
I have installed windows XP in Virtual Box, trying to install Oracle 10g in it. It won't start the installation..no clue about it. I installed winrar(as the 10g setup was in rar format, had to extract it).
without any issues winrar got installed, where as Oracle 10g simply wont get installed...no error message is thrown..
in fact I have installed 10g on a XP PC just last week..not sure where what I am missing
i am using "Briged Adapter" Network
If anybody has experienced same issue, kindly let me know....

Hi Srini,
Thanks for helping me with the link to be frank I had looked into it long back...
yes the software worked just yesterday, I had installed on XP(different machine).
I added my PC to domain, logged in as Administrator & double clicked, same....no response.
At last I used "command prompt" and it worked!! not sure how or why...but worked.
Now my database is created successfully
Yes would like to know why this happened....and how things worked via command prompt & not by double click....would greatly appreciate if anybody helps me on this.

[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.

Network Limited Conectivity & Virtual-Box

Just bought a new Dell Inspiron 3137 laptop, with 64-bit Windows 8.0 installed (not 8.1). I have four legacy 16-bit programs (Bible study, Sermon editor/reference, 2 games) that I need to use as cannot find more recent versions on the market. So initially
tried to use MS Virtual-PC but it would not install, so then installed Virtual-Box followed by Win-Xp. The W8 OS now (after serious setup efforts) connects ok under Wi-Fi and Ethernet to the internet and to computers on my home network. But Virtual-Box
and Xp fails! looking at my "Networks" W8 pop-up window I see an entry of "Unidentified Network" and that it has limited connectivity. Xp indicates "connected" but received packet count is 0.
Think this is a result of my attempts & connections under Virtual-Box. I go to Network and Sharing Center and find first 2 category are enabled but "All Networks" entry is disabled/off and I cannot find any way to enable! I go to
"Network Connections page and I see 6 entries (Bluetooth, Netgear router, broadband, Virtual-Box, etc). I run the troubleshooter on the Virtual-Box link and am informed that it cannot fix & no useful help provided to me by system! No progress
w/ comparability mode on legacy programs.
I have initially informed Dell Technical support then most recently Oracle of this problem >>> both say it is not their product malfunctioning and that errors are in configuration of Windows-8 >> but no help.
This is serious irritation as have already wasted about 40 hours chasing/messing with this problem >>>> NEED HELP AND SUGGESTIONS - PLEASE!

Thanks Kevin for the reply, but no progress here. I am completely new to Windows 8.0 and slightly new to any networking, so keep that in mind should you decide to reply again, A.K.A., I might need a bit of step-by-step assistance .....
The symptoms here : My new Dell computer finally now connects by wi-fi to home network, has always connected to internet. I am using Virtual-Box v4.12.18 w/ Xp Pro, SP-3. Under Xp in Network I note that it shows "Connected" but received packet

will enable). Have tried with Network Discovery on & off, and with File Sharing on & off, and with 56-bit & 128-bit encryption selected alternatively. So run the Troubleshooter = first pass informed
it could not fix problem : later, troubleshooter stated it fix some problem(s) with incoming connections = at that point I looked and found that under W8 both sent & received packet count was into low thousand but Xp still showed 0 receive.
When I look at Networks under W8 I see "Netgear52" W/ no errors, then see either "Unidentified Network (limited connectivity) OR randomly see "VirtualBox (Limited Connectivity) and so think Netgear52 is what I should be using.
Again under W8 networking pages, I try "Setup Network - Chose Wireless Router" am asked for SSID (whatever?) but showing nothing after 10-minutes. Have made all efforts both with & without Firewall on Xp & I think on W8 also, no changes
to Security Essentials Xp is in NAT mode and have not yet tried "Bridged."
"ipconfig?"
Base system here are : Dell 3137 Inspiron laptop, Win 8.0 + Win-Xp Pro. Motorola Surfboard cable modem. Netgear52 router. Various home networked Eithernet connected computers. Various Tablet & eBook readers connected Wi-Fi. No other component is
reporting any errors and all work Ok. Xp is Ok except zero connectivity to Internet and home network. Need to get Xp connected so can access data for legacy programs off home & church networks.
So your help seriously appreciated! Bill

[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?

Updating Virtualbox fixed the issue.

Suggestions?

Hi,
I have upgraded my VirtualBox Vm to 10049. I did not have any problems, it took a long time though. As others have said, check your video memory (I have 128MB) also your free HDD space, You should need at least 8GB free. I am running VirtualBox v 4.3.24.
Hope this helps.
Paul

Do you use Virtual Box VM... Please help with this.

hey everyone I'm extremely new with all this stuff...
I have a iMac 10.5.4 with the most current version of Virtual Box.
When i load Virtual Box everything is rocking and extremely cool... but after an hour or so my network/server connections dies off on the mac side.
when i go to GO >> Connect to Server >>
smb://ipaddress
I get this pop up...
error connecting to the server >>
I click OK and i get an error code -36
the only way for me to connect again to the server is to shut down everything and restart the iMac it works just fine and i load VB back up and than everything works for about another hour or so and than i have to restart everything again.
any clues to my issue?
thanks for helping a newbie!

...but since you are learning, and would like to know where was the bug, I tried your code and updated it.
The only two small problems I found:
1. You have a while loop that checks if there are more tokens.. it's not needed and this while loop will only run because by the second run, you would have consumed all the tokens in the for loop, check would fail and while loop will be exited. [I have removed this while loop in my version below]
2. Now, here is the bug:your for loop has a condition that evaluates (i < st.countTokens()).
Now count tokens will only return "remaining" tokens. Assuming test string "this is a test", countTokens return 4. Then as you consume the first token, it is 3, then 2 then 1. All this while for loop's i is going 1,2...
i = 0, countTokens = 4
i = 1, countTokens = 3
i = 2, countTokens = 2, check fails, and for loop is exited.
So all you have in your array is first two tokens. Rest of the array is null as it was when you created the array.
So then when you loop back and check index 3,2,1,0.. 3 and 2 elements are still nill, that's why you get the result you are getting.
Here is the fixed code:
String sentence = "this is second test"; //String variable to hold user input
String output = ""; //String variable to enable display of output
String buffer = "";//String variable to hold output
st = new StringTokenizer(sentence);
int tokenCount = st.countTokens();
//Array to hold tokens
String tokenHolder[] = new String[tokenCount];
//Walk through the tokens
for (int i = 0; i < tokenCount; i++)
tokenHolder[i] = st.nextToken();
String reversedTokens[] = new String[tokenCount];
//Walk through the array in reverse
for (int j = tokenCount-1; j >= 0; j--)
//Add the reversed token to the ouptut string
output += tokenHolder[j] + " ";
System.out.println(output);
}
