nemesis under vbox
I have tried to install nemesis guest under vbox porteus host with:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi ... inux_hosts
From v1.2-151101 nemesis will work under virtual box porteus and any other distribution.
The solution is to use use this vboxadditions.iso from arch linux, which you will have to untar. It will be located in folder /virtualbox-guest-iso-5.0.8-1-any.pkg/usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm ... /download/
Sharing folders between vbox guest and host:
viewtopic.php?f=81&t=4852&p=35413
Under plasma5 you can put a script in the ~/.config/autostart scripts folder to have the share available at boot up of the vbox nemesis guest.

Re: nemesis under vbox
I could start nemesis in vbox, but it fails to boot with no sync kernel (panic):

Re: nemesis under vbox
I have no problem at all since the begining with nemesis. I never had kernel panic. My problem now is installing the guest additions. I miss the kernel-headers for linux 4.2.3.
What can I do for you? Do you want me to explain in detail my way to install it or are you going to tell me how you did so?

Re: nemesis under vbox
4.2.3-1 does nost seem to work for 4.2.3. But maybe I did not try it properly. I will try a second round.
Thanks.

Try these instead. They are generated from the kernel I built.

Re: nemesis under vbox
It was so stupid not enough persitent in RTFM (Read The Formidable Manual). Here is the guest additions for hosts other than arch linux:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi ... tions_disc
Please use this vboxadditions.iso from arch linux, which you will have to untar. It will be located in folder /virtualbox-guest-iso-5.0.8-1-any.pkg/usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm ... /download/
Arch linux wiki's are great but you have to read them all.

Re: nemesis under vbox
Hello François
Well. in my hands, internet works well on a Nemesis 3.3 freshly booted under VBox 5.0.6 (the host is a Slackware; no changes cheatcode, conventionall boot method -not EFI-). Maybe are you using some particular configuration that prevents internet connection?
I did not try guest additions with Nemesis, so I cannot say if shared folders would work on my setup.
I use Porteus under VBox a lot to make preliminary tests of customised porteus before distributing them to students, so I am somewhat used to deal with VirtualBox (not an expert, tho), and I am following the Nemesis development from the distance, so let me know if you want me to test some particular setup.
Thanks for all the work of Porteus Team.
Ricardo.
