Virtualbox Vms
Latrina Cobbett
Note: The package architecture has to match the Linux kernel architecture, that is, if you are running a 64-bit kernel, install the appropriate AMD64 package (it does not matter if you have an Intel or an AMD CPU). Mixed installations (e.g. Debian/Lenny ships an AMD64 kernel with 32-bit packages) are not supported. To install VirtualBox anyway you need to setup a 64-bit chroot environment.
We provide a yum/dnf-style repository for Oracle Linux/Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE. All .rpm packages are signed. The Oracle public key for rpm can be downloaded here. You can add this key (not normally necessary, see below!) with
Note that importing the key is not necessary for yum users (Oracle Linux/Fedora/RHEL/CentOS) when using one of the virtualbox.repo files from below as yum downloads and imports the public key automatically! Zypper users should run
While common, widely used & supported USB devices such as mouse and keyboard HIDs connected to the host machine have been working well within the VBox guest (otherwise it would be plenty useless ), more "niche" USB devices such as FTDI, ST-Link or Keil debuggers for STM32, were extremely unreliable or didn't work at all, and our whole team back then couldn't resolve the issues and we gave up on that.
Now, I don't know whether there's anything inherent in the whole setup that makes this problem eternal, or it was just the state of development of VBox and/or the involved operating systems and drivers of back then.
I actually am thinking about using Linux as a host in my new laptop (that is to be carried around only in special situations, not regularly), and putting Windows in a VM for certain use cases. But Linux-on-Linux is also an imaginable scenario. More on that below.
Has this improved? Is STM32 development from within a VM, including debugging the hardware connected to the host computer (ST-link with reliable instruction stepping, variable reads, as well as virtual com port text), feasible now?
I could have the VirtualMachine, with all the work-related stuff installed, on an external drive, and carry that between work-from-home vs. work-in-office days, plug it in, and just run the VM and everything is fine. While, when at home not working, the rest of the laptop is untouched by work stuff, and vice versa.
If you search the net for search terms like "st-link virtualbox", you will find a lot of similar questions, but also messages that it works without problems or hints that you have to share USB ports (by default = dsbl) or activate the USB EHCI controller in the VM, etc- All in all, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the ST-Link or its drivers, but with Virtualbox and its settings.
However, I have not yet tested this myself in the- Virtualbox, because I can easily take a project that works with relative paths as an archive and debug it on another computer, so that a VM does not bring any significant advantage.
I am a newbie. For some reasons, I need to install Virtualbox. I see that I can easily install it using the Software Center, but I trust most the apt-get install way, because I find it safer, less buggy, and it helps me accommodate more with the Terminal.
So, my question is the following: is there a way to install VirtualBox using the command line? I would prefer something easy, like apt-get install not unzipping, archiving, etc, because I still don't know how to do these in the Terminal.
dkms (optional): "Ubuntu/Debian users might want to install the dkms package to ensure that the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp) are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next apt-get upgrade."
My Ubuntu-15.04 cloud images are missing the virtualbox package from the included sources. Kostanos' method works, but since virtualbox is a meta-package with multiple versions depending on the release you are running you may need to specify a particular version.
Here is a script that checks for an installation candidate, installs the repo if there isnt one, then updates the package lists and installs it for you. As noted in his answer, be sure to change "vivid" to your release name.
That's it, now you have 2 way communication, with apache/any other service available as well as internet. The final step is to setup a share. Do not use the shared folders feature in virtualbox, it's quite buggy especially with windows 7 (and 64 bit). Instead use samba shares - fast and efficient.
The best way to do this is to use a Bridge Adapter in virtualbox. In virtual box go to the settings for your machine->Network->Adapter 1 and select Bridged Adapter. This will make you virtual machine part of your main network.
Just for short, you have to create a new Virtualbox, selecting fedora Linux and as a boot CD you can use the iso you downloaded.
Then start from Iso. Now you have to install it to your created virtualbox.
At that screen you click the button on the lower right, then reboot to launch the installed VM. (do that before removing the install media). Once the VM starts it will do the initial setup where a user is created.
No information at all on the internet how to boot Voss in virtualbox? I am almost sure that I found a topic about this on a site, can't remember which one though. You can check this source about .vmdk, the steps are almost the same, it can help you to boot the Voss. I didn't try it before, but according to people from the commentary section it worked perfectly, so it can work for you as well. The process is described in details, so you should have no problems with it, everything is very clear.
Unfortunately, my attempts to boot Voss in Virtualbox fails. This is with VOSS 8.2 configured with 64 bit Linux as OS and 2048 Mb RAM. Same result with converting image from qcow2 to vmdk and importing qcow2 directly to Virtualbox.
