I Have Virtualbox Running On Centos7 Now...

hi guys,

just a quick one on virtualbox...

could i have centos 7 running virtual box...then host another 3 vm's on it that are running live at the same time?
or is this best for vmware?

i would like centos 7
then another centos7 vm
debian vm
slackware vm (headless)

its a i5 with 8gb RAM...the vm's wont be doing much work,prob ssh into each to setup things and experiment
maybe run a couple of small wordpress web sites...nothing drastic...

any advice on the best way to get this result?

I had Kali and Linux Mint installed and erased Mint to install Centos7. Grub was totally deleted and I could only boot into grub recovery. Many hours of cussing later I got Kali back, I can see Centos filesystem mounted on my desktop and in disk utility. I never finished setting Centos up as I was rushed out the door which probably caused the problem in the first place, for some reason it's raid and although it's 2 harddrives they are not set up for raid and 1 is Kali and 1 is Centos. The Centos boot folder is still empty after running grub-install on it twice and it does not show in grub. How do I get Centos as an option?

Hi guys

I have installed Linux in a virtualbox on a windows 8 laptop. I found the screen size in the vrtualbox running ubuntu to be too small so I looked around for a solution.

I came across this

'Use Xdiagnose From the Dash, search for and launch Xdiagnose, then enable all the options under the Debug section. Click the Apply button, then close the window and restart the system. You’ll have to restart. Logging out, then in won’t do.'

After doing so my screen went from bad to worse and now I can only see a pixelated view of my screen.

Does anyone know how to work around this problem and get a bigger screen in virtualbox ?

I just download the below files and tried to install it to virtualbox .

CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD
CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-Everything


When it is booted to the DVD , it pop the below messages .

============================================
Install CentOS 7
Test this media & install CentOS 7
Troubeshooting

Press Tab ...
============================================

I tried to select any option , but the screen become dark , it seems the installation process is stopped ,

I tried Centos 5.x , it works fine , but Centos 7 not work.

would advise what is wrong ? thanks

I am running Antergos Linux 64 bit on virtual box. when I try to do full system upgrade I get a error:

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: virtualbox-guest-modules: requires linux<4.0


I am using Ubuntu as my host OS and it's kernel version is 3.13.0-49-generic and in Antergos is using 3.19.3-3-ARCH. I guess both are less than linux 4.0

I don't know how to solve this.

Hi All

I'm trying to bring virtual guest from headless mode to gui mode in VirtualBox. But I don't know how to do it. I really appreciate if someone help me on this.

I usually run linux virtual machines in headless mode and connect to it through ssh. I have setup tigervnc-server on linux virtual machine, so that i can connect through vncviewer whenever i want to work on gui.

But recently, one of my friend said, I can also start virtual machine in headless mode in VirtualBox window by holding <SHIFT> key and press Start. Sure it did, it started in headless mode. But, now I don't know how to bring back window again.

Thanks you.

Any suggestions please?

I have VirtualBox up and running on my headless Centos 6 machine, am using http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/ as a GUI, and created a virtual machine and installed Windows 7 on it.

I can access it using the VirtualBox console (via phpvirtualbox interface), however, only can see part of the screen and the mouse doesn't work properly. I can also access it using Windows Remote Desktop Connection using IP 192.168.1.200:9000 (why port 9000?), but again the mouse doesn't work.

I have the following ext packs installed on the server.

Do I need additional extensions to better interact with the guest? How are they installed? Thank you

Hello everyone from stackexchange,

I am a total Linux newbie, and for a short school task I have to perform the following action in Linux OpenWRT running in my virtualbox. I have tried multiple commands and googled a lot but I can't get it working. If someone could help me out on what to do, that would be awesome. I have looked through the manuals too but it doesnt seem to work.
