http://askubuntu.com – Okay, so heres my problem. I recently started migrating several services to individual VMs on my box, using VirtualBox 4.1. I created a new VirtualBox VM with guest type "Ubuntu (64 Bit)". I've already done this before and it worked like a charm. I then installed unbutu server (12.04) from the exact same dvd image. All the time I thought that it should have installed x64. I already put a few hours work into the new VM, migrating the webserver and mail system etc. Today I tried installing a x64 piece of software and it suddenly told me that it needed x64 and I had only i686. I checked uname (HowTos)

yum removes virtualbox!! 5 weeks 1 day ago

I tried to run virtualbox today and F18 told me it was not there!! Which is strange as I have a couple of virtual machines. But, I searched and it ain't there.

Only just installed VirtualBox with Ubuntu as a guest OS on my Win7 64-bit PC a couple of days ago, so a real beginner, and already having problems.

Started Ubuntu in VirtualBox today, and was told I had Ubuntu updates waiting, just like Windows Update. I said go ahead, and they were installed (53Mb). I had to reboot the Ubuntu guest OS afterwards. That's when my problems started.

I just replaced my Fedora 16 with 17, Now Im not able to install Vbox. Dependencies error comes out. Please help.

I hope this is in the right area... Apologizes if it is not.

So I installed VirtualBox 4.1.10 on Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 11.10 (64bit) a few days ago. I enabled 3D support in VirtualBox and installed guest additions in ubuntu. It was great, super smooth. Window manager was snappy and I could move windows around no problem. CPU usage goes up a bit but it was very responsive.

Hello,

I have recently started playing with ubuntu 12.10 in as a guest image in VirtualBox.

VirtualBox 4.0.0 for Mac OS X 2 years 25 weeks ago

The new version of VirtualBox 4.0.0 has been released. Here, you will find the download link for the VirtualBox 4.0.0 for Mac OS X. VirtualBox is the most popular of OpenSource virtualization software. With this software we can install  and run multiple operating system on Mac OS X machine.

I am running ubuntu 9.10 two ways: (a) as the host OS on one machine I will call ``Machine A'' (or just "A"), and (b) as a guest OS (in Oracle VM virtualbox 3.2, upgraded today from sun virtualbox 3.1) on another machine I will call ``Machine B'', (or just "B"). The host OS of Machine B is Win XP Pro. On A, I have installed sun virtualbox, and for a while that worked well.

I have Virtualbox 4.1.2_ubuntur3859 installed on an Ubuntu 11.10 host, running a guest ubuntu server 10.04 with xfce4 and xorg installed with no-install-recommends.

I have installed guest additions, but the maximum resolution in the display settings is 800x600.

I have read related questions:

How to change resolution of the VirtualBox (Ubuntu guest and host)?

I am having a lot of troubles to have my virtualbox guest additions installed, I got this message:
