Hi there

So I have a virtual machine and I actually wanted to host GBiB on it.

However, the following errors were displayed.

May I know what's the issue and how can I resolve it?

Regards,

Julius

Hello, Julius.

Your second screenshot regarding hardware acceleration is specifically addressed in the Troubleshooting section of the GBiB User Guide at https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/gbib.html#Trouble.

For your first screenshot, you may consider consulting the VirtualBox user forums. You may find the posts at https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=38637 and https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=40685 useful.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply.

WIth reference to the documentation below,

#Sharing Genome Browser with Colleagues

Shut down the GBiB machine (Stopping GBiB).

Select the browserbox machine in the VirtualBox left-hand menubar.

Select Machine >> Settings in the VirtualBox menu to display the Settings window.

Go to Network >> Adapter 1 >> Advanced >> Port Forwarding.

Remove the address "127.0.0.1" from "Rule 1" by deleting it with the backspace key.

Click "OK".

I have done the above but I am having trouble enabling port forwarding to VirtualBox. How can I do it? Must I allow incoming connections to port 1234?

Regards,

Julius

Hello Julius,

Yes, you will need to accept incoming connections on port 1234 for VirtualBox to forward them to GBiB. Depending on your network setup, this may simply be a matter of configuring the firewall on your machine or you may require help from your network administrators.

I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions, please reply to gen...@soe.ucsc.edu or genome...@soe.ucsc.edu.
