I've never found that setting.

Interesting.

Hi Suppot,


This is not support. This is a mailing list for users of debian, just like you.


I installed Debian 9.8.0 on my laptop using an iso DVD image and Virtualbox
6.0.4

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/

I create a virtual drive of 50GB and loaded the ISO from a local folder on
my Laptop.

The installation went fine but when it went to boot the Virtual box
software but the Debian OS didn't load.


[...]


Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,
Patrick


I don't use debian as a guest OS on virtualbox, but I know that there
are various prebuilt debian images[1] for that platform. You might have
better luck with one of those.

I do, as a way of testing my 'odd' ideas at times.

The process generally just works.  Most common problem is that sometimes 
vbox tries to boot the .iso again, so try removing that and floppy from 
the boot options.


Are you using vbox 6.04? A couple of us found minor issues with one of 
the recent minor updates which have now disappeared.



I'm not very patient when trying to fix something as new as a fresh 
install. If it fails, I try again - watching everything I do and I end 
up happy.



Keep trying

Problem loading Debian 9.8.0

2019-04-10 Thread Patrick Gallagher
Hi Suppot,

I installed Debian 9.8.0 on my laptop using an iso DVD image and Virtualbox
6.0.4

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/

I create a virtual drive of 50GB and loaded the ISO from a local folder on
my Laptop.

The installation went fine but when it went to boot the Virtual box
software but the Debian OS didn't load.

A black box opened up with a flashing cursor in the Top LHS.  It looks as
if its waiting for more files to be loaded before but it just sits there
doing nothing.

I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it again with no success.  I also
have tried installing an earlier version of debian but get the same
result.  I have checked every thing and it seems to be okay.  Virtual box
seems to be working okay and the top tab says Debian [Running]

Is it my laptop.  I am using a Panasonic Toughbook with windows 10 build
1803. .  it has a standard hard drive with 1TB  space. 16GB RAM.  I already
made one change to the bios enabling AMD-V.  Do I need to make any more.  I
can send more info on the laptop if required.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,
Patrick
