How to make Virtualbox boot with ubuntu like wine
|
Do you want to start a virtual machine when you log on to a graphical session? If so the best way to do so is using your dektop's autostart facilities. Are you using Gnome for your desktop?
Alternatively, do you want to start a virtual machine and access it over the network? |
Sorry, I can't guess what you mean by that. Can you please be more specific about what you are trying to achieve?

Thank you all of you for helping me. what i mean is i try to boot the virtualbox with ubuntu with out any any click. when you run wine you don't have to run always it't work automatically i need that function on virtualbox i hope it is possible
also i try to share the xp desktop to ubuntu desktop. it means when i make anything on xp desktop it is gone to ubuntu desktop but i got one difficult thing that is i can't create a folder on xp desktop would you help too this Thanks again |
I think you can get virtual box to directly boot a virtual machine (Eg called winxp) with the following command
Code:
vboxmanage startvm winxp --type gui If the above works from the terminal, then you are just a short step away from having it start automatically when you log in. Since you say you are using ubuntu I'll assume you are using gnome. I can't remember the exact layout of the menu since I haven't used gnome in a long time. But anyway you need to look for an item in then menu called something like "Sessions". After selecting that you need to add a "Start up program" (may be called something slightly different). Once you have found this dialog, add the command I show above. Cheers, Evo2. |
achu@achu:~$ vboxmanage startvm winxp gnome2
The program 'vboxmanage' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose vboxmanage: command not found i already have virtualbox the current version |
pleas tell me anything long step-by-step i need only the perfect achievement
Thank you |

To test the command from my last post, you need to enter it into a program called "Terminal". You can find this in one of the menus, probably "Accessories". Evo2. |

Please explain more what you mean by "i try to share the xp desktop to ubuntu desktop. it means when i make anything on xp desktop it is gone to ubuntu desktop but i got one difficult thing that is i can't create a folder on xp desktop would you help too this". What did you do to share the Gnome and XP desktops? |

I suspect the desktop directory/folder is treated specially by both Gnome and XP so I would be surprised if everything works. For example XP sortcuts are not the Same as nautilus' (Gome's file manager's) links. As a workaround, can you create a directory on the desktop in Gnome and use it from XP? |
How did you install 3.0.10?
