Oracle VM VirtualBox Virtual Machine’s in Ubuntu Linux 64bit Screencast Review Tutorial
Posted on 10 July 2010 by Abidoon
Screencast style Review and Tutorial on How-to install, setup, and use Oracle VM VirtualBox Virtual Machine’s inside Ubuntu Linux 64bit. I show you how to uninstall the old Sun VirtualBox and replace it with the new Oracle 3.2.4 latest version inside Kubuntu Linux 9.10 64bit with KDE 4.4.2 and how to install the guest additions drivers into Linux Mint 9 32bit. Video edited with kdenlive in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat Alpha 1 64bit. Original video production by the www.OSGUI.com Tech Show.

@ORIGINALpipTV cool thanks
glad you did the update since the change to Oracle
cool vids mate
@dodo3773 yeah very true the 3D graphics support in VirtualBox still needs improving
@OSGUIShow Yeah, what I mean is that if a virtual machine could utilize 1GB of video ram we could play graphics intense games or whatever under virtual machines. It would be great if no one ever felt like they “had” to dual boot to do certain things. I think it would really help. For this reason I think a lot of people use Windows as their host and Linux as their guest operating system.
@dodo3773 thanks
you can put video memory up to 128mb
Thank you. I did not know where or how to point it to the iso. I didn’t mess with it a whole lot but this definitely made my life easier. I just wonder when they are going to find out a way to enable more video ram to virtual machines. That would be great.
@OSGUIShow
Cool, I’m going to grab VirtualBox from the software center. I tried it a few years ago and it wasn’t too polished, but it looks like a whole new app now. I think the competition from VirtualBox is why VMware started offering virtual machine creation in the free product, VMware Player. Free software can spur innovation like that.
@acuteawareness it supports the following vm hdd types
vmdk
vdi
vhd
parallels
Do you know if VirtualBox is able to open VMware virtual machines? I’d be willing to switch but I don’t want to have to redo my virtual OSs.
@augustuen oh
whenever I watch your videos, it starts to lagg, and skip.
@NavaraVideosII 8GB
how much RAM do you have?
@weweboom thanks
i dunno just some random recent one in the KDE icon theme download manager
