Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Vmware Image Download
Karoline
Ubuntu is distributed on three types of images described below.Desktop imageThe desktop image allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This type of image is what most people will want to use. You will need at least 1024MiB of RAM to install from this image.
The newest Ubuntu 11.04 VMware appliance starts out of the box with a desktop looking like Gnome 2.x, but can be transformed to start the Unity desktop from Ubuntu. Contrary to the basic Ubuntu 11.04 image this one has the latest VMware Tools installed.
The VMWare tools for Fusion-5 doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. VMware is recommending using Fusion-6 to build a Ubuntu 14.04 image and using it on Fusion-5. Hence finding a pre-built image with VMware tools installed would be great.
If you determine that a ready-made image is not available, installing either the server or desktop iso in VMWare Player is exceptionally easy, at least from my limited experience. On a Win7 Pro, 32-bit, laptop the Easy Install (most likely a part of VMWare tools) made the installation happen with minimal keyboard work on my part. About all I needed to supply was my username and password.
Besides system containers, LXD supports virtual machines as of the previous 4.0 LTS. This enabled a nifty addition that many are not familiar with: LXD desktop images. These virtual machine images provide an immediately functional desktop environment with no setup needed at all! All you need is a single command.
These images are bigger than usual, but it should take less than a minute (depending on your internet speed) for the image to be downloaded and launched. You should then get a remote viewer window with your desktop VM, as shown below.
@tommoyer apologies for the late reply, I missed the notification. The replacement server is now available, you either need to update the snap, or add the new remote manually. More info here: New LXD image server available (images.lxd.canonical.com)
In my case I had to manually install the Ubuntu 16.04 distro because the windows store was not working on my pc which appears to be a common issue. I originally tried using Ubuntu 18 but it failed. Just for clarity, I determined which Ubuntu version to use by downloading the entire starter package, running the virtual machine in VMWare player and at the bash prompt I used the command:
I discovered that the VM image was using Ubuntu 16.04. I have a hunch that the URControl binary file was compiled using the gcc version common for the 16.04 release. Therefore, to make things compatible you will also want to use 16.04. However, in the future when the URSim is updated, you may have be required to upgrade to a newer version. You can always check which version to use by running the command above. Hopefully by that time someone at universal robots will read my crazy instructions and officially support running ursim on windows.
To manually install, I downloaded the appx file for 16.04, rename the file extension to zip. Extract it to a temp folder using 7-Zip or another tool of your choice. Then open and administrative command prompt and run ubuntu.exe. It will take a few minutes to install.
Open a command prompt, then type bash. You should now be running your Ubuntu distro. Now enter the following commands to apply the updates to your Ubuntu install. This will probably take a few minutes because there are a lot of packages to update.
Download URSim 5.2: URSim. Using 7-zip or another extraction tool of your choice, decompress the files into the /home/ur/ursim directory. Using your bash prompt run the install.sh using the following command.
./install.sh
In my case, the install script returned a few errors and ultimately failed, but not before it installed quite a few dependencies such as java. To finish the install process you will now need to run these additional commands:
The URControl binary executable does not run by default in WSL. In order to make it work you have to install QEMU Binary Format Support. Thankfully someone else figured this out because I never would have found this one on my own:
You will need to reactivate binfmt support every time you start WSL. To simplify this process, I created a .bashrc file in the ur home directory so this happens automatically everytime I login. I also export the DISPLAY variable so my screen is pushed to the Xming window.
As an alternative, it would also be possible to use WSL to only build and deploy the URCap from Windows, deploying to a URSim in a VM (using the ursimvm deployment method). In this way, you could use your favorite IDE directly in Windows, but execute URSim in virtual Linux.
For me personally, I have a much better user experience running everything on windows 10 and I use less overhead on my workstation by running things without the overhead of the complete Linux operating system. I feel more productive this way and I hope this post will help others!
Due to some permission issues I found the best way to get this to work was to setup ssh on WSL and alter the setup to run on port 2200 instead of 22. This means you can ssh into the WSL via 2200 and the localhost ip (127.0.0.1)
Used commands here
-diaries/ssh-on-windows-subsystem-for-linux/
The script itself sets up a ursim_net network and assigns an IP address other than the localhost IP to the container, and that never worked for me on Windows/WSL. Only more explicit port mapping commands at the command line.
Ubuntu now publishes official Azure VHDs for download at -images.ubuntu.com/. If you need to build your own specialized Ubuntu image for Azure, rather than use the manual procedure below it's recommended to start with these known working VHDs and customize as needed. The latest image releases can always be found at the following locations:
This article assumes that you've already installed an Ubuntu Linux operating system to a virtual hard disk. Multiple tools exist to create .vhd files, for example a virtualization solution such as Hyper-V. For instructions, see Install the Hyper-V Role and Configure a Virtual Machine.
Install cloud-init (the provisioning agent) and the Azure Linux Agent (the guest extensions handler). Cloud-init uses netplan to configure the system network configuration (during provisioning and each subsequent boot) and gdisk to partition resource disks.
The sudo waagent -force -deprovision+user command generalizes the image by attempting to clean the system and make it suitable for re-provisioning. The +user option deletes the last provisioned user account and associated data.
Azure only accepts fixed-size VHDs. If the VM's OS disk isn't a fixed-size VHD, use the Convert-VHD PowerShell cmdlet and specify the -VHDType Fixed option. Please have a look at the docs for Convert-VHD here: Convert-VHD.
You're now ready to use your Ubuntu Linux virtual hard disk to create new virtual machines in Azure. If this is the first time that you're uploading the .vhd file to Azure, see Create a Linux VM from a custom disk.
Feeling a little more adventurous? Want to build the latest version of Kali? Want to customize your ISO by adding more tools or change the default settings? Looking for something other than Xfce, GNOME or KDE like Enlightenment, i3mw, LXDE or MATE? Then this is the option for you.

The Kali NetHunter project is the first Open-source Android penetration testing platform for Android devices, allowing for access to the Kali toolset from various supported Android devices. There are multiple unique features not possible on other hardware platforms.
The Kali NetHunter interface allows you to easily work with complex configuration files through a local web interface. This feature, together with a custom kernel that supports 802.11 wireless injection and preconfigured connect back VPN services, make the Kali NetHunter a formidable network security tool or discrete drop box - with Kali Linux at the tip of your fingers wherever you are!
A Kali Linux Live image on a CD/DVD/USB/PXE can allow you to have access to a full bare metal Kali install without needing to alter an already-installed operating system. This allows for quick easy access to the Kali toolset with all the advantages of a bare metal install. There are some drawbacks, as disk operations may slow due to the utilized storage media.
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a software package on modern Windows installs that allow you to run Linux alongside your Windows system in an optimized container. The Kali WSL package allows easy access to the Kali toolset. This comes with the same drawbacks of a standard VM, but allows for less overhead and tighter integration with your Windows systems.
Experienced penetration testers and security professionals use and trust Kali Linux because we provide full transparency into the build scripts. Feel free to read, investigate, and change build scripts for any images below.
We currently package our virtual machines for four different virtualization software options: VMWare, Hyper-V (Gen2), VirtualBox, and Parallels.These virtual machines contain an evaluation version of Windows that expires on the date posted. If the evaluation period expires, the desktop background will turn black, you will see a persistent desktop notification indicating that the system is not genuine, and the PC will shut down every hour.
There is no password set up for the user account. However, some software, especially those used to connect remotely to the VM, may require a password. In those cases, you will need to set up a password for the user account first before using that software.
