Virtualbox and Windows 7
How can I get virtualbox to run Windows 7? How can I insert or install Windows 7 inside virtualbox? I have never use virtualbox before? I do have Windows 7 ISO on a USB. All version of it.
I need to run a Windows program for my Mobius 2 camera. I found that virtualbox can do it.

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

I think there are VBOX images available from Microsoft and maybe even the Virtualbox website. Do a Ducksearch for Virtualbox images.

Re: Virtualbox and Windows 7
I want to run virtualbox on Porteus and I want to run Windows 7 program in that virtualbox or do I have to install Windows 7 in that virtualbox so I can run that windows program? To use that program I find a computer that has Windows 7 on it.Vic wrote:I think there are VBOX images available from Microsoft and maybe even the Virtualbox website.

Is there another program that can do it? If virtualbox won't.

Re: Virtualbox and Windows 7
I see there is a VBox builder and there is a module VirtualBox-5.1.4-porteus-v3.2rc5-x86_64-1prt.xzm. Remember I do not know a thing about this.
I do have one question. Do I need to activate VirtualBox-5.1.4-porteus-v3.2rc5-x86_64-1prt.xzm and run VBox builder or what.

Re: Virtualbox and Windows 7
Vbox builder is cool. When it is done you will have a module that can be put in the modules folder, which will activate on boot.
In Vbox you will need to create a new VM and point it to the downloaded image I mentioned earlier.
Vbox works GREAT on my Porteus 3.1 KDE.

Enter a name of your choice. -> click next

Setting up a virtual machine is like assembling a PC from the parts.
Chose the name > how much memory > size of the hard disk
(where to store this file) etc.
When all pieces are put together you have a new,empty PC.
Next step would be to install the OS from an iso or CD to it.

Re: Virtualbox and Windows 7
After I set it up I receive these ERROR.
What is missing?
I have a 32gb USB could I have Mate install and what it wants to make on it or what it wants to make a Hard drive? I like it all to be on the USB.
I just remember I have a 64gb USB I could you.
UPDATE:
Do I need to set it up in root?

/run/media/root/60987160-f929-4ae4-ba55-c60d9433eef9/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv, ok this is mine but you have to recall into a console this script: rc.vboxdrv that redo the kernel driver for the kernel that you use, every kernel change you have to execute this script.

Re: Virtualbox and Windows 7
Looks like a bad VirtuBox module. I will check the module on the server. You can rebuild it by activating the 05_devel and crippled sources module and from a root terminal type: update-vbox
This will build the latest virtualbox module and leave it in /tmp
EDIT: Even better do above as Beny says. Make sure you have the development modules activated though.

Re: Virtualbox and Windows 7
Jack, which version of porteus do you use? ,3.2.1 or 3.2rc5,
because you have to use (download) the correct vbox xzm-module,matching your kernel version.

Re: Virtualbox and Windows 7
64 Bit?
if yes,use this one:
http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/archive/Po ... 4-1prt.xzm
if this one doesn't work, download and activate the 05-devel.xzm
http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/archive/Po ... -devel.xzm
and the crippled_sources.xzm
http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/archive/Po ... ources.xzm
and start the vbox builder.
It will make a new and hopefully working vbox.xzm.
