Install Ubuntu On Vmware Workstation 16 Pro

[Anita Damelio]

Step11: Ubuntu has been successfully installed in VMWare. Now open VMware and click on ubuntu-64 which appears on the left panel. (If not directly opened). Select the language and click on next. Select the Normal or Minimal installation based on your requirements.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition using VMware workstation 7.1.1. Ideally total installation should complete in an hour. But I'm not sure why it's taking very long time. I waited for 6 hours but still it didn't completed. So I tried to reinstall but faced the same issue 2nd time also.

Canonical servers problem or something like this. There is nothing wrong with your laptop/desktop. I've got a similar problem while trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 - 12.04 stuck during installation "Processing triggers for update-notifier-common"

I removed all references for the previous installation from my router settings, and when I tried re-installing it was assigned a new internal IP address by my router (DHCP server). It simply will not complete the installation beyond the screen I mentioned above.

Well, in the folder where issued the wget command. You were probably running as the ubuntu user and thus the script would have been downloaded to the home folder of that user - or whatever user you used to connect to the server via putty.

"The mini.iso for the Ubuntu distribution is legacy since version 20.04LTS (Focal Fossa). This is a bad news for those (like me) that formerly used this distribution to produce lightweight virtual machines for development, teaching, testing, etc. A distribution of the mini.iso for Ubuntu 20.04 is indeed still available here, but there is no guarantee that its availability will continue after Focal Fossa. So I decided to find a way to do without the mini.iso, and I wrote this script that takes to the ''tasksel'' step starting from a cloud image in the ubuntu repository. Surprise, it is faster than the procedure based on the mini.iso."

In my opinion, if you wish for interactive use, you will have a better experience to using the server iso. It has editors and manuals and other nice to haves beyond just the bare minimum for ssh access. And still is a relatively small size to install, secure, and maintain.

VirtualBox is a software virtualization package that you can install on your operating system (just as you would a normal program). It supports the creation and management of virtual machines into which you can install a second operating system.

In VirtualBox terminology, the operating system on which you install VirtualBox (i.e. your regular OS) is called the host. The operating system you install within VirtualBox (i.e. inside the virtual machine) is called the guest.

On the next screen you will be asked whether the new virtual hard disk should grow as it is used (dynamically allocated) or if it should be created at its maximum size. Make sure that dynamically allocated is selected, then click Next.

Make sure your virtual machine is selected and press Start. VirtualBox Manager will ask you to select a virtual optical disk file or a physical optical drive to start the virtual machine from. Click on the folder with the upwards arrow on the right side of the dialogue, select the ISO file you downloaded previously and press Start.

Next you should choose between the default install that contains a curated set of packages and a minimized version, which has been customized to have a small runtime footprint. Choose the default option.

The installer can guide you through partitioning an entire disk or, if you prefer, you can do it manually. If you choose to partition an entire disk you will still have a chance to review and modify the results before Ubuntu is installed. I selected Use An Entire Disk.

You can optionally instruct the installer to set up the disk as an LVM group, as well as to encrypt it using LUKS. I chose to go with the LVM setup, as LVM offers a number of benifits, such as allowing easier backups of a running server. You can read more about LVM here: What is LVM and what is it used for?

Ubuntu will ask you to remove the installation medium and press Enter. You can remove the disk via_Devices_ > Optical Drives > Remove disk from virtual drive. You will need to put a check mark next to ubuntu-22.04-live-server-amd64.iso if it is not selected already.

Note: it is also possible to stick with the original NAT interface and SSH into the guest using port forwarding. You can read more about that here. You can find information on all of the VBox network settings in this comprehensive guide.

When PuTTY starts, a window titled PuTTY Configuration should open. This window has a configuration pane on the left, a Host Name field and other options in the middle, and a pane for saving session profiles in the lower right area.

In a nutshell, this depends upon you generating a public and a private SSH key pair. The private key is kept on your PC (and should be guarded carefully). The public key is copied over to the server you wish to connect to.

The -o option instructs ssh-keygen to store the private key in the new OpenSSH format instead of the old (and more compatible PEM format). This is advisable, as the new OpenSSH format has an increased resistance to brute-force password cracking.

Thanks! So I guess there is no way or not practical for me to do any PCI passthrough to use the physical GPU since it is also needed by the host OS, and I think Nucleus is not practical either since I need to connect omniverse with Isaac sim and ROS. Is installing ubuntu on the physical machine my only option here?

I am not sure if having Windows as the host OS might have any issues though. Is possible to use other host OS and run ROS on another Windows VM? I believe you should also be able to share a GPU between VMs but I would recommend a more powerful GPU than a 2070.

Rob Lee created the original SIFT Workstation in 2007 to support forensic analysis in the SANS FOR508 class. Over the years, he and a small team have continually updated the SIFT Workstation for use in class, as well as for the wider community as a public resource. With over 125,000 downloads to date, the SIFT Workstation continues to be one of the most popular open-source incident-response and digital forensic offerings available.

"Even if SIFT were to cost tens of thousands of dollars, it would still be a very competitive product," says Alan Paller, director of research at SANS. "At no cost, there is no reason it should not be part of the portfolio in every organization that has skilled incident responders."

A key tool during incident response, helping incident responders identify and contain advanced threat groups. The SIFT provides robust capabilities for analyzing file systems, network evidence, memory images, and more.

REMnux is a Linux toolkit for reverse-engineering and analyzing malicious software. REMnux provides a curated collection of free tools created by the community. Analysts can use it to investigate malware without having to find, install, and configure the tools. REMnux is used in SANS FOR610: Reverse Engineering Malware.

REMnux can be added into a SIFT Workstation installation. To install REMnux, first install the SIFT Workstation using the instructions found above. Then, follow these instructions to add the REMnux components.

SIFT workstation is playing an essential role for the Brazilian national prosecution office, especially due to Brazilian government budgetary constraints. Its incident response and forensic capabilities are bundled in a way that allows an investigation to be conducted much faster than it would take if not having the right programs grouped on such a great Linux distribution. The new version, which will be bootable, will be even more helpful. I'd highly recommend SIFT for government agencies or other companies as a first alternative, for acquisition and analysis, from the pricey forensics software available on the market.

What I like the best about SIFT is that my forensic analysis is not limited because of only being able to run an incident response or forensic tool on a specific host operating system. With the SIFT VM Appliance, I can create snapshots to avoid cross-contamination of evidence from case to case, and easily manage system and AV updates to the host OS on my forensic workstation. Not to mention, being able to mount forensic images and share them as read-only with my host OS, where I can run other forensic tools to parse data, stream-lining the forensic examination process.

Rob graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy and served as a founding member of the 609th Information Warfare Squadron, the first U.S. military operational unit focused on information operations. Later, he was a member of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) where he led a team conducting computer crime investigations, incident response, and computer forensics.
