On a Mac in VMware Fusion when the vm is starting and the loading bar is displayed, how can you access the the boot order as if it were a stand alone windows machine?
I've tried "f8" "delete" with no luck.
Don't know VMware on Mac, but on Windows, I'd use in Menu VM->Power->Power on to BIOS.
While startup of the VM, BIOS setup is launched with F2, boot order menu with F12.

I am configuring a virtual machine on VMware EXCi 7, using the web interface for accessing to the screen of the VM.
I need to use the Print Screen key for the OS configuration, but is not working.
I´m using my laptop keyboard (IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE FN KEY), and right now I do not another keyboard to try with it.
There is something necessary to use this key on VMware ESXi?
I solved this issue installing VMRC on my computer, and launching this remote console.
My PC has 4 monitors and I'd like to use 2 of them on VMware Workstation, so that its displays be maximized. But it seems that it doesn't support using more than 1 display. At least it doesn't have option to add new display, and I didn't find it on its docs.
Unity isn't an option, because my main use case would be having Win10 as host and Linux with Gnome as guest, and I wanna use Gnome features because it has productivity than Windows. So it wouldn't work to bring Linux windows to Win10.
Should be available as a settings in: VM Settings > Hardware > Display
You can either set the VM to default to whatever the host system is using or to a specific amount.
Here's the docs for it: Configure Monitor for VM with Workstation

Can anyone help me how can i use android emulator on vm.
it shows me
Emulator: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
now how can i enable hardware acceleration on vm??
First of all you can not access BIOS on Google Compute Engine VM. When you restart the instance you will be automatically disconnected from the SSH session. As soon as you open another SSH session again you will be already logged in to the os.
Android Studio Emulator is another Virtual Machine that emulates the operation of an Android device. So what you are looking for is VM nested inside a Google Compute Engine VM, you can refer to the Enabling Nested Virtualization for VM Instances documentation, for further information.
However, you can use arm64-v8a or armeabi-v7a ABI. They are pretty slow but you will be able to test your applications there. You can make them faster, but it will require a powerful VM that will cost a lot of money. To use those images in Android Studio emulator:
Go to Tools > AVD Manager.
On the bottom left corner click on + Create Virtual Device ....
In Choose a device definition, choose any device you want and click Next
In Select a system image go to Other images tab
Choose any arm64-v8a or armeabi-v7a ABI. (Download if you don't have one)
Click on Next, give a name and click Finish
Run the Virtual Device and give it some time, according to how powerful is your VM it will take some time to load. You will see an Android logo loading and after few minutes you will see the Home Screen. If it takes too long, try restarting the AVD and the Android Studio, then leave it some time to load. It is pretty slow, but it is working, I tested it myself.
Try below steps -
Open SDK Manager (In Android Studio, go to Tools > Android > SDK Manager) and Download Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) if you haven't.
Now go to your SDK directory C:\users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\ and run the file named intelhaxm-android.exe.
In case you get an error like "Intel virtualization technology (vt, vt-x) is not enabled". Go to your BIOS settings and enable Hardware Virtualization.
Restart Android Studio and then try to start the AVD again.
Downloaded Xamarin Android Player and with >>next>> progress installed Virtual Box.
When I tried to start an emulator I got
Failed to initialized device (name Of the emulator)
VboxManager Commendt Failed
and the detail of the error in Oracle Vm Virtualbox is
VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for both all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED)
How can I fix this?
I have found the solution of my problem, put some images to help others, thanks

It is a RAM related issue. The documentation is self explanatory:
You are trying to allocate >3GB of RAM to the VM. This requires: (a) a
64 bit host system; and (b) true hardware pass-through ie VT-x.
Fast solution
Allocate less than 3GB for the virtual machine.
Complete solution
Make sure your system is 64 bit.
Enable virtualisation in your host machine. You can find how to do it here or there are many other resources available on Google.
Turning PAE/NX on/off didn't work for me. I just needed to turn on virtualization on my computer. I was working on a HP Compaq 8200 and followed the steps below to turn on virtualization. If you are working on a different computer, you probably just need to look up how to turn on virtualization on your pc. The steps below for HP Compaq 8200 (or similar) is copied verbatim from the comment posted by the user qqdmax5 on Hp discussion board here.
To run Oracle VM Virtual Box / VMware machines on 64-bit host there is a need to enable Virtualization Technology (VTx) and Virtualization Technology Directed I/O (VTd).
Usually these setting are disabled on the level of BIOS.
To enable VTx and VTd you have to change corresponding settings in the BIOS.
Here is an example how to do it for HP Compaq 8200 or similar PC:
Start the machine.
Press F10 to enter BIOS.
Security-> System Security
Enable Virtualization Technology (VTx) and Virtualization Technology Directed I/O (VTd).
Save and restart the machine.
There is also some discussion on this on askubuntu.
In Virtual Box "Settings" > System Settings > Processor > Enable the PAE/NX option. It resolved my issue.
I had this issue when tried to run a 32-bit OS with more than 3584 MB of RAM allocated for it. Setting the guest OS RAM to 3584 MB and less helped.
But i ended just enabling the flag in BIOS nevertheless.
Follow the steps below in Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager:
Select the Virtual device and choose Settings
Navigate to System and click the Processor tab
Tick the check-box, Enable PAE/NX
Click OK and you are done
To verify, start the Virtual device from Oracle VM VirtualBox. If all has gone well, the device boots up.
Close this device and open it from Genymotion.
For latest Windows 10 (HP & Intel motherboard/processor),
Follow the below steps, starting with :
Settings ->
Update & Security ->
Recovery ->
Advanced startUp -> Restart now
F10 (System Recovery) -> System Configuration tab -> Virtualization Technology
Enable
F10 to save and exit
For Ubuntu on HP (Intel processors),
Press F10 on booting the system, it will enter into system setup mode.
You will find tabs on top like Main, Security, Advanced.
Go into Advanced >> and click on System settings.
Mark the check boxes on Enable Virtualization Technology (VTx) and Virtualization Technology Directed I/O (VTd).
Back to Main, click on save changes and exit.
enable PAE/NX in virtualbox network config
My BIOS VT-X was on, but I had to turn PAE/NX off to get the VM to run.
You need to enable virtualization using BIOS setup.
step 1. Restart your PC and when your PC booting up then press your BIOS setup key (F1 or F2 or google it your BIOS setup key).
step 2. Go to the security menu.
step 3. Select virtualization and enable it.
Note:- BIOS setup depends on PC Manufacturer-brand.
If you're on 32-bit machine don't allow more than 3584 MB of RAM and it will run.
I had to turn PAE/NX off and then back to on...voila !!
Make sure Virtualization is enabled in your bios.
Simply check how many CPUs you are allocating. With one CPU you do not need to play with your bios.
Open your BIOS and enable virtualization.
I'm going to develop mostly Django sites on a MacBook Pro and would like to use Ubuntu VMs for testing purposes.
Which product is better suited for this purpose?
Can I connect to the VM via TCP/IP (so I can have apache running on the VM and access it from Safari on my MBP)?
Thanks!
It should be possible using VMWARE FUSION. It has a good network management, and you should be able to access easily your vm via network.
I've successfully used both VirtualBox and VMWare Fusion for this. On both systems, you can set the guest up so that it has its own IP address, and connect to it via HTTP, SSH and even native file sharing, so you can mount the guest's drive as a network drive from the Mac, and vice versa. This makes it possible to do the editing on the Mac in eg Textmate, but run the server on the VM.
I can only tell you about my experiences with a Core2Quad Q6600 on VMWare Fusion 3.0. I have three boot partitions on this system (ahem yes it is a hackintosh running with the E-Fix USB).
So i can do performance measurements. I use it for sometimes very large compiler sessions. And the amazing fact was that Linux as a Guest runs without any measureable time difference on virtualised and native Linux. Windows7 on the other hand only runs with 40% on my machine and GUI is allmost non useable while the GNOME Desktop from latest Ubuntu still works fine.
Check this out. Virtual Box is free so there is nothing to loose.
