I have ssd and hdd. So I want to install Genymotion and virual box on ssd. But when I install programs on geny motion emulator the programs will be installed on the ssd and I want to avoid recent writes on it. I know that I can move genymotions emulators on hdd (from options), but I don't know where they are installed. So where app is installed for an emulator? In it's folder (where it is downloaded from genymotion) or ?
Thanks in advance.
On Linux, the deployed virtual machines' disks are stored in ~/.Genymotion/deployed/<name>. On Windows, they're found in c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Genymobile\Genymotion\deployed\<name>.

I'm trying to set up a Raspbian image in VirtualBox 6.1.14 for development. I downloaded the latest .iso from the RPi website, and set up a VirtualBox machine with the OS set to Debian (32-bit). When I mount the .iso and start the machine, I'm able to get through all the installation steps until it gets to the point of configuring the package manager--at that point it freezes in both the text installer and the GUI installer.
I've tried doing this with the network adapter enabled and disabled, which made no difference. Is there a specific configuration to the VM that will get the installation to work?
I am a dum dum. I needed to up the memory on the VM. Below are the pertinent stats for it to work.
OS: Debian (32-bit)
Base Memory: 1024mb
Video Memory: 128mb
Graphics Controller: VMSVGA
Storage: 8gb
My host OS is windows and I installed CentOS in virtualbox. Will the packages that I install in the virtual box, be accessible/modified in windows?
Are any changes made to the host Operating System upon installing any package in virtualbox?
No.
Will the packages that I install in the virtual box, be accessible/modified in windows?
You should also be able to read and write files in the guest file system's disk image from the host system. With the caveat that the guest probably needs to be "off" while you do that, otherwise there is a risk of either corrupting the guest file system or seeing an inconsistent guest file system state from the host.
Installing packages in the guest does not modify the host operating system ... if that is what you were asking.
I installed VirtualBox on a Windows 10 PC. I installed Ubuntu v. 16.04 in it. But when I shutdown the virtual machine and restart it, it asks me to install it again. The installation itself is not saved to my virtual machine.
It sounds like your virtual machine is booting from the installation media.
In virtual box go to your virtual machine's configuration and ensure that you remove the live USB / disk image from the available devices section. However, a more suitable place for this question is Ask Ubuntu.
I'm planning to run Solaris 10 on a VirtualBox VM(on my windows machine). I'm downloading the link from here
So do I need a blank DVD in order to install this onto my VirtualBox? thanks
blank DVD is not necessary.
use Virtual DVD device can install.
I wanted to play around with Linux and do some testing. I've tried installing Linux on a Virtual PC (2004) guest but couldn't get it to work.
I figured with all the folks out there proselytizing about Linux maybe someone had made an guess file that I could just download and open up in Virtual PC (ideally) or VmWare.
PS - I asked question on ExpertsExchange about 2 years ago and all I got was people telling me I should use VMware (but not suggestions of where to find a pre-made Guest record.)
The VMWare library of pre-installed guests is at http://www.vmware.com/appliances/ - it seems to be currently down for maintenance though.
VMware player: http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
Vmware images: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/
The appliances website was down for me, but you can download premade images of various operating systems and run them using the vmware player or vmware server.
Ubuntu 8.04: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/1224
Also, just look at the popular section on the right-hand side. I have found that when you want to use Linux, vmware is the way to go. I have had issues trying to install it on virtual pc, but that might have changed since I tried it back in 2006 with Fedora.
The VMWare appliance site is down as I write this but there is a very useful appliance that is about 60K that allows you to mount an ISO as a VM.
This is great because you don't have to install the distribution in a VM. You can load up the ISO into the VM every time as new or simply reload a suspended image.
When you feel comfortable - try installing the version of Linux in the VM.
You could also simply burn an ISO to a CD/DVD and boot it up to play with it - no install required.
You should also take a look at Sun's VirtualBox VM manager. Its free and pretty good.
Try http://elasticserver.com/
They have a a la carte approach for linux VM's.
Virtual Hosted Linux is a pain. If you MUST do this, then use Sun's VirtualBox - it starts up faster and really is easier to use than anything else .. You can get Ready To Use VDI images from VirtualBoxImages too... But, if you just wanna 'play around' with linux, then why not boot up a LiveCD ..
