That concludes the tutorial on installing a portable operating system in your USB stick. I’ve previously written on how to install VMware Server on Ubuntu 7.10, install VMware Server on Ubuntu 7.04 and install VMware Tools, but installing VirtualBox has a few of its own benefits.
One, it is actually Open Source / Free Software whereas VMware is freeware. This is very important to a lot of people, myself included. When possible I prefer to run the “Free Stuff” vs the lock-in, trade-secrets, we-don’t-get-how-open-source-can-save-us stuff.
VirtualBox will do that for us. It has also been found that VirtualBox can be faster thanVMware Server in many cases. I haven’t done any direct side-by-side comparisons, but many of the articles that I have read refer to this. If anyone is able to do some direct testing I would be interested in hearing about it. When I run “Virtual Box” after downloading, it goes through an install/setup process. If you choose to install to your USB drive, or local C:, it goes through the same process.
It installs the necessary services, creates start menu entries, etc. Basically it DOES install to the right directory (your thumb drive), but not all the necessary components go there as well. The thing that gets me is: Why would it create start menu entries if it’s portable? It should “know” that it’s not going to be used on that system. I just tried this yet again.
The boxes were definitely checked. The download goes smoothly. The VirtualBox Setup Wizard start up as shown, but conveniently the instructions leave off there. It says to go through the wizard lots of help there The setup program shows the install location as: C:Program FilesSunxVM VirtualBox, This is what I mean by “just a virtual box installer that installs to your PC”. No matter what you set that location to, it installs VBox to your computer.
It shuts down your internet and installs the networking components. It goes through a virtualbox install just like any other. Please tell me I’m doing something wrong. Sounds like someone needs to go to the drawing board and map out the logic.
The crosstalk in pseudocode is getting stupid, god help us when people start using OS syntax like corpspeak buzz words. I can see someone being able to run Virtualbox on a LiveUSB of an OS, and I could see the benefits of being able to have multiple guest OSes running on ‘that’. But the base problem is finding a version of Virtualbox that can run on a USB connected to ANY OS it gets plugged in tono breadcrumbs, no OS reliance, no trail. Until that happens this is all academic outhouse lawyer talk.
Now who’s got the toilet paper so I can get up?
I have a Windows VM I'd like to use at work. Problem is I am not an admin, and being new on the job I don't want to ask yet for admin rights. Can't install VirtualBox or VMWare, so I've been trying to use QEMU again (I used it a few years ago with a Win 7 VM) but it just doesn't seem to want to start- gives an error about memory not being allocated for 'pc.ram'. Is there another Windows based VM player that can be used without Admin rights? One reason is that I want to be learning some new skills on lunch break and can't install what I need. The point in this is simply to be able to work at whichever machine they assign for that day, and have my tools.
It's not that they forbade it, but that I may be at a plant this morning, a DC tomorrow, a retail site tomorrow afternoon. I can't be set up on them all as administrator. I used to use QEMU in this manner, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to wish to cooperate. I get issues like 'cannot set up guest memory 'pc. Radha Soami Ji Shabad Mp3 Free Download. ram' and cannot find a resolution. Even if I asked for admin rights on my work laptop, it wouldn't help much since I am at my desk maybe a couple or two hours a week.
Still confused on these tools you need? If the machines are already setup - what other tools do you need?
Are you going to FIX something on the computers or network? Why do you not have admin rights? Sounds like I would consult at another company My guess to your error with qemu is the machine you were trying to run your vm on didn't have enough ram to load your VM. You could lower the ram you were trying to give to your vm. What version of qemu are you running exactly. Guessing some portable version, or are you installing it? I am assuming your running a windows binary - where did you get it, did you compile yourself?
