Please note that my article is a bit outdated as it describes the use of vbox5 (not vbox6) to start an existing Linux installation from Sculpt. If you strictly followed the instructions, you probably ended up creating a machine.vbox file instead of a machine.vbox6 file. This could explain why vbox6 cannot find a machine.vbox6 file. More up-to-date and beginner friendly instructions can be found in this article: https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2022-10-27-fresh-vm-on-sculpt It describes how to install and boot a Linux VM on Sculpt. I suggest you first try to reproduce this in order to get familiar with the basics. Once you have a simple VM up and running you may revisit the dual boot scenario. -- Johannes Schlatow Genode Labs https://www.genode-labs.com/ · https://genode.org/ Genode Labs GmbH · Amtsgericht Dresden · HRB 28424 · Sitz Dresden Geschäftsführer: Dr.-Ing.
