Hello Everybody. Here is Bas G. Roufs, from Utrecht, The Netherlands, Linux Kubuntu user ever since 2007, new at this list. Also VirtualBox, I have been using from time to time at prevailing versions of Kubuntu - so far with very limited success. At present, I work at an up-to-date version of Kubuntu 14.04 LTS, along with KDE 4.13.3. From VirtualBox, I am using version 4.3.10 - the version in the repository right now. My hardware: Asus Eee PC Flare series, 4 GB RAM, 1.6 Ghz processor, 320 GB HD.
Is there anybody at this list who: ....... +... manages to somehow use some recent version of *Ubuntu as as a 'host',together with some version of Android as guest? +... wants to share his or her experience here? If your answer to both questions is 'yes', please, read on. The exact version of Android is only of secondary importance to me. So far, I have been trying 'Android 4.4. KitKat for the Eee PC Family'. However, I am happy to use any other version. A few times, I fruitlessly tried to to get started with Android within VirtualBox along the lines of this manual: > http://www.howtogeek.com/164570/how-to-install-android-in-virtualbox/ Other things possibly useful to know: * Host OS: an up-to-date Kubuntu 14.04 LTS system; * Guest OS tried so far: Android 4.4. Kitkat for the 'Eee PC Family' * Hardware: Asus Eee PC Flare series, 4 GB RAM, 1.6 Ghz processor, 320 GB HD. So far, I have been using a few strategies. First of all, I simply have been following the standard path way I usually follow inside Android: early log-in into my gmail account. Additionally, I have skipped the login in the early phase; by choosing a 'not now' option, I do manage to get into the Android system and even to prevent that platform from 'sleeping'. However, both strategies fail in the end as soon as I try to sign into my Gmail account from Android in the virtual environment. One persistent problem prevents me from doing anything beyond the sign-in moment. I simply do not manage to transfer the WIFI connection I am using, to the virtual Android system - this prevents me from using 'Google Play' - the app repository of Google. Both Kubuntu and VB do detect the (WIFI) internet connection I am using, however, Android not. According to the manual at 'Howtogeek', the internet connection should also work by simply skipping the WIFI turn-on option in Android - however, this is not the case. At this point, a few questions spring to my mind. Is there anything else I can do to go beyond this deadlock? Secondly, take a look at the hardware and software specs I have summarised above. Is 'Virtual Box' at all possible at such a machine? Is it perhaps better to install e.g. Android at one of the empty partitions I still have? Thanks for considering my questions. Have a nice day. Respectfully Yours, Bas G. Roufs. ======================================== Bas G. Roufs Utrecht, NL, EU. E.: [email protected], M./SMS: +31 6 446 835 10.
