To avoid this kind of trouble in the future, why not we participate/or create a team of "testers" so that we can test the pre-public ?įor me VBox is a very useful and important piece of software and I will be happy to help it in some way.Ī) We can build scripts for installations, so simple tests will be more easy to do.ī) We can build a set of scripts to run inside the VM, so we can help to perform a basic-set of functionality. Well, nothing important was lost except a little time and frustation. ISO images that once checked turn out be in good condition (shasum). I had trouble with 2 Fedora 11 VMs and I think even the Debian Lenny crash once, thing that did not happen before.Īfter uninstall the 3.0, going back to 2.2.4 some old configs display errors, like errors in.
INSTALL LINUX ON MAC MINI CORE DUO MAC OS X
Jul 2009, 13:54 Primary OS: Mac OS X Leopard VBox Version: PUEL Guest OSses: Linux (various) Anyone else with a Mac host and Linux guest experience something similar? mfox Posts: 18 Joined: 1. But I've never had a problem doing it that way and the instructions didn't say anything about upgrading vs uninstalling-reinstalling VB. In both cases, I installed VirtualBox 3.0 as an upgrade, rather than by uninstalling 2.2.4 first. YouTube/flashplayer wasn't a problem on openSUSE, and I can't say for certain that I tried flashplayer on CrunchBang prior to the VirtualBox update. I tried this several times with the same result. Trying to run a YouTube video froze the vm and I had to shut it down to recover. However, one thing that no longer worked on CrunchBang was flashplayer. CrunchBang Linux 9.04 (64 bit) and openSUSE 11.0 both ran OK and updating the tools was not a problem. On my iMac 2.16 ghz core 2 duo (also running MacOSX 10.5.7), my experience was somewhat better. I promptly uninstalled this version and reinstalled 2.2.4 everything went back to normal. I retried both distros several times with the same result. Another (Sidux 2009-01) wouldn't boot at all. One distro (VectorLinux 6.0) worked at a snail's pace (literally so slow that it was unusable), even after I updated the tools. Version 2.2.4 was working well for me on my 1.83 ghz Mac mini core 2 duo (MacOSX 10.5.7), but when I updated to 3.0 I ran into trouble with several virtual Linux machines created in previous versions of VirtualBox. I really like VirtualBox and have used it extensively to test various Linux distros.
