I found Virtualbox to be a bit easier to install than VMWare. However, VMWare, Virtualbox, WINE and Crossover Office (essentially WINE +) are all excellent products. I think I would recommend using CrossoverOffice for Maura. CrossoverOffice and WINE are Linux native programs (and libraries) that fool Windows applications into believing they are running on Windows. Therefore, all your files can be kept on your Linux file system and available to you from Linux. VMWare, VirtualBox, and other virtualization products actually run full blown Windows on your system, but the virtual machine drive is essentially hidden from the host OS. The advantage of using a VM is the cases where you need to have some Windows applications or services that are simply not available under Linux. Last summer, I did this because my wife needed to use RealPlayer with a licensed feed, and the authentication had to be through Windows. I could authenticate through MSIE under Crossover, but it also needed RealPlayer 10, which does not run under Crossover Office. The solution was VMWare at the time. (Actually, the solution ended up by fixing up an old laptop). I was using VMWare server since it was free. VMWare Player would have been a better choice, but for some reason I didn't find a pre-built WindowsXP VM and Ubuntu had VMware Player in its installation database. -- -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

VMware is also very easy to backup. It does everything you > can think off and more. VMware comes in three options: 1. Workstation 2. Server 3. ESX Server Workstation is a fully featured desktop virtualisation program that installs on a host OS (Windows or Linux) and allows multiple guest OSs to be installed. Has multiple snapshots and VM cloning available. Has a price attached to it. Whether this is considered expensive depends though. Server is a desktop virtualisation program that is installed on Windows or Linux and that in some ways is more limited than workstation in that you can have only one snapshot and no cloning. However it does allow remote connections to be made and the VMs run without the console being open (not sure if workstation does this). Best of all, it's got no cost attached to it. ESX Server is an enterprise server virtualisation solution that installs on bare metal and you then install multiple guest OSs on top. Lots of management utilities and resource allocation per machine tools available. Also very expensive for individual users...

I do all my work in OO and to send it I save as MS office. If it is a complicated stuff or a presentation I do a quick check with MS running under crossover. Crossover works great with word, excel and pp. If you want outlook or access it will not work. Crossover is very reliable and it works as a linux program. I love it. The backup is very easy and protect all the MS license. It creates an archive called bottles that can be save as or even create an rpm. It can be imported in another system as well.

It should, unless they have a bug in VB. Dave, it seems hot-plugging works fine. I have repeatedly swapped from the Belkin dongle to an ICOM radio USB programming cable, and each time they have worked well. I simply left both items active in the VB filter menu, and the XP guest was able to keep track of which one I had in the side port of my Thinkpad R40 laptop. XP would give the Belkin com3, and the ICOM cable com4...(without restarts of the guest...). I still think VB should pass through the dongle as ttyUSB0, and let SuSE handle it...but it works this way, so far. Pretty cool...I guess.

I rmmod'd the driver, then rpm -e'd the virtualbox OSS rpm before I installed the 1.5.4 version. Thanks for reminding me. Now that I have it working, I will try your method, and see if "hot-plug" will work. It should, unless they have a bug in VB.

I imagine that your problem may be that the open-source release of VB does not include usb support _at all_. You need to get http://www.virtualbox.org/download/1.5.4/VirtualBox-1.5.4_27034_openSUSE102-1.i586.rpm the binary install for 10.2. I'm using 10.3 32-bit version, but others in their forum are using 10.2, so good luck. Remove the Oss version (but don't delete the XP guest files). Install VB closed-source, attach the original virtual files, insert the usb device, and launch VB. Do NOT launch the guest yet... If you get there, you will see a USB item in the VB details tab. (I think you _have_ to insert the usb device B4 launching VB.) In the USB dialog, there is a filter section. The small icons at the right indicate known usb devices, add the one you wish to use (in my case it is the Belkin converter dongle). I would add JUST the device of interest, not all of them. Next, start the XP guest, and do all the crap XP needs to use the device. I DL'd the belkin driver, burned it to a cd, and ran the Belkin installer. XP installed the device as com4, and I can copy the GPS sentences out of my Garmin (with [ugh] Hyperterm).

When you set up bridging for VirtualBox, it creates a virtual NIC that is "attached" to the physical one used by the host OS. If your host OS has an eth0, your virtual NIC will be either eth0:0 or eth0:1. I can't remember which. The only reason you might want or need a second NIC would be if the guest OS is going to be hosting some application that is going to require heavy I/O that will saturate the ethernet interface and cause the network connection to become a serious bottleneck.

If you just want one address for the virtual machine (XP) and a different one for your host machine, you can use a single NIC; at least that is the case with VMware server.

1-click install can be tricky.
The VirtualBox is included in 10.3 official repositories and you can see
article
http://en.opensuse.org/Virtualbox
for instructions.
Then, as root, load the kernel driver:
# modprobe vboxdrv
and check that is loaded:
# lsmod | grep vbox
vboxdrv 1652352 0
Than also check is your user in vboxusers group as Alexey said.
# groups
users dialout vboxusers video

You need to add your user to "vboxgroup" group (and restart) or run as
root. It works.
BTW: I wrote a whole guide about VirtualBox for openSUSE. Just install
"lessons4lizards" doc package, and access it via "Start->Help".
I hope you installed virtualbox kernel driver rpm.

When I plug in a USB device, usually a flash drive, KDE sees it but VirtualBox doesn't. I simply share the device with Samba and voila! VirtualBox now has access to it.

The problem is kernel itself that has no USB support, so what you have to do is to configure kernel with USB support enabled, but than the kernel module vboxdrv has to be recompiled too. The current kernel is 2.6.18.8-0.5-default. You should update that and sources first. If you have problem to boot with default boot option, use new entry instead, and post that here. The rest should be explained, but right now I'm going to try this one: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ home:/dirkmueller/openSUSE_10.2/i586/ virtualbox-20070822-8.1.i586.rpm and virtualbox-kmp-default-20070822_2.6.18.2_34-8.1.i586.rpm Which so far works with small glitch, it doesn't list iso files and I had to paste and copy the name using another file manager. BTW, VirtualBox-kmp-default-1.4.0_2.6.18.2_34-20.1.i586.rpm has an error in post install script and the only way to get rid of it is rpm -e --noscripts VirtualBox-kmp-default but it can easily remove installed vboxdrv. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, it can't. Because there is no vboxdrv in rpm, not in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_10.2/i586/ VirtualBox-kmp-default-1.4.0_2.6.18.2_34-20.1.i586.rpm nor in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_10.2_Update/i586/ VirtualBox-kmp-default-1.4.0_2.6.18.8_0.3-20.1.i586.rpm So, instructions in Alexey's article, or openSUSE 10.3 Beta3 is your only hope to get vboxdrv any soon. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse] VirtualBox]
Hi Hans,
I too had the same error and I followed the instructions in the error
message:
execute '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
This patched the kernel and fixed it.

Hello,
it seems, that you have to compile the VBox-Module once again.
Because of changing the kernel, there has to be newcompieled the vbox-modul.
With regards

Or you could just use the latest 2.6.18.8-0.3 kernel update for openSUSE 10.2 with the perl-bootloader module and be done with it. The insecure /proc/bus/usb file system has been reinstated.
