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

You can run the command "vboxmanage --help" to see the other options.

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,

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

Sorry can't do that. As I don't use Ubuntu (or as I said gnome), and you will learn much more if you do something for yourself.

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".

Ok, I didn't see this post.

According to the ubuntu web page it should be installed as a part of the virtualbox-ose package:

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

Evo2.

9.10 64bit

And how did you install VirtualBox and which version?

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?

version: 3.0.10 the current version i just install directly i think it is work directly but i can't make the network

i work this on xp and i want to share the xp Desktop to ubuntu Desktop. Means the xp desktop files going on the ubuntu desktop. it is easy this one if you want i will tell you briefly. what i need is when i do this i can't create any folder on xp desktop that is what i mean.

Thanks. How did you install 3.0.10?

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?

can you create a directory on the desktop in Gnome and use it from XP?[/QUOTE]
