Problem of starting up: stuck on 'Booting ...... Starting up...'

[syh]

HI,
I have a problem when installing the BBB on VirtualBox on Winodws XP
Professional

Here is my steps:

1. I installed VM VirtualBox Manager 4.0.4

2. And then I followed the steps to create a New Virtual Machine
Name: BBB-VM
OS: Linux
Version: Ubuntu
Base memory size: 1024MB
Boot hard disk: Use existing HD: I downloaded the
bigbluebutton0.71.vmdk (downloaded and tried the bbb071 VM as well,
both the same)


3. And then I did the setting: System->Processor->Tick the 'Enable PAE/
NX'

Everything seems ok, but when I select start the BBB-VM, it start to
run and stuck on the 'starting up' stage like this

Hello,

What is the host machine(xp) ram like? you may want to give a 2gb ram to the VM as that is the recommended for 0.71. Also i assume you must have extracted the file before mounting.

Seun Ojedeji,
you don't need a hero to succeed on the field....you need a team!

You can boot the BigBlueButton VM in 1G, which is good enough for
testing with small groups and local development development.

It looks like the hard disk image isn't recognized at all. Is it an
option to use VMWare Player?

Regards,... Fred

Hi, thanks you for reply, I didn't notice you replied in my email box,
so didn't come to look.

Thanks a lot

The host machine is a fairly old machine, it was powerful when it
first bought.
3.5 GB of RAM. I gived it 1.6 GB RAM to the VM after saw your email.
but it seems still the same.

Yes, I extracted from rar file and then did the mounting. Actually I
don't see how to do mounting before extracting the bbbvm from rar
file.

From the forum, it seems not much people using the VM box solution, so
Could you please help further?

Best regards.

Hi,

free, is it?

VMWare Player is free (no license is required)

Oracle VirtualBox (also free, but also runs on OSX) will also run VMWare
Virtual Machines.
