| Hi | | I successfully installed and set up virtualbox on my Ubuntu 9.04 | system. | | Its the CSE edition meaning it has USB support built in (as opposed | to | the open source edition which does not) | | I installed PCLINUXOS as the guest OS, it installed well and works | well, | | I had a few questions | 1. I alloted 1024 MB as RAM for the guest system - will this mean | that | when the Virtualized environment is not running it will continue to | not be available to the main system ??
The RAM is only allocated when your VirtualBox VM is running. | | 2. I could not get the virtualized guest system to work on a | partition | of my choice - it landed it up in my /home/user - is there a way to | change this ?? The default directory for the disk image [.vdi] is the home directory. You can either choose a different directory while creating the disk image or move it later using VBoxManage. You can't copy paste it [I think] because the disk image is linked to a UUID . The command should be something like : VBoxManage clonevdi ~/.VirtualBox/VDI/PcLinuxOS.vdi /media/disk/PCLinuxOS_Backup.vdi This command generates a new UUID for the disk which you can use in a new VM. | Finally i am unable to setup access to a USB device - added it from | settings nothing happens, the device shows up faded out under the USB | devices menu. | | Any idea what to do - will appreciate help | | Also thanks to Sarfaraz and Sameep for advising when i was querying | about how to install. | | regards | ram | | -- | ubuntu-in mailing list | ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
