I downloaded VirtualBox OSE from the Ubuntu Software Center but it seems that that version is limited. I prefer to have the complete version and don't really care if it's closed source or not.  Can I install it via a terminal or do I have to download something from a website?  I don't know how to install software I download from the web. So far I've only used the Software Center.

As VLC 2.0 is released, how do I get it in Ubuntu (XUbuntu actually, in my case) 11.10? Any PPAs or packages to download? The official page says "Ask your favorite packager..."

Aka: How can I convert a .vdi or .vmdk to a real installation on a physical disk? Is it possible/feasible to migrate a Virtual Machine installation of Ubuntu onto a physical machine? If possible, how difficult would this be to accomplish and what steps would i need to take to prepare for the migration. I'd like to do some testing on a VM and if it works out migrate that system to physical hardware instead of reinstalling everything. Is this possible?

Is is possible to run a 64 OS in a virtual environment host that is 32 bit. Say for example, I am running Windows XP 32 bit. Would it be possible for me to run a 64bit OS using VirtualBox or VMWare. My processor is a 64bit processor with VT enabled.

I've been playing with virtual machines lately, and I wondered if I could run a virtual machine inside a virtual machine.   Is this possible? Is it practical?

here is ubuntu 12.10  virtual-box is somehow not working:  I was trying to install win7 on to an usb-hard-disk.  boinc is switched off and RAM-size is set to 4096 MB (too big ? of possible 8 Gibi )  report of virtual-box is:  the com-object for virtualbox could not be created.  the application is now ended.  Start tag expected, '&amp;lt;' not found.  Location: '/home/$user/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml', line 1 (0), column 1.  /build/buildd/virtualbox-4.1.18-dfsg/src/VBox/Main/src-server/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[484] (nsresult VirtualBox::init()).

(with 500 Gibi )  first installation attempt was breaking off (with win7 in 64Bit) should I try virtual-box (ubuntu 64Bit) with win7 in 32Bit ? should I leave RAM-size of virtual-box to default 512 MB ?  thanks for reply

I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on VirtualBox, including the guest additions.   However, the display is really slow. Looking at the display settings I can see that the video memory is only 12MB but I can't move the slider to increase it. The checkboxes for extended features are greyed-out too. See screenshot.  .  How do I increase the amount of memory?  TIA

I have recently installed  in VirtualBox and noticed that they use Delta-RPM packages, which help dramatically reduce downloading sizes. Also I heard that . Would be glad to see such deltas in Ubuntu too.  Does anyone know about such delta-deb packages and how do I get to use them?

I have no root access on this machine.  I would like to know if there is a way I can download Ubuntu packages and install them as non-root?  Probably in my ~/bin or ~/usr/share or something like that? Would that work?

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 using Virtual Box in my Windows XP. I have use Ubuntu 11.10 iso to install it. First time when I installed every thing was fine but when I shutdown the VirtualBox and start Ubuntu again, it asks me to install Ubuntu and try Ubuntu without installing.  Do I need to do some extra settings?

I've installed VirtualBox using the Software Centre and I'm running a system on Ubuntu 14.04 with 8gb RAM, 64-bit dual core processor.  I want to run Windows 10, I've tried both 64 and 32 bit versions, in virtualbox. However, every time I start up windows 10 it gets to the point where the dots go round in a circle, then it freezes up and crashes back to the virtualbox manager. The only information it gives me is that the virtual machine was aborted.  I've changed the settings around a lot and nothing is working.  Any help would be appreciated.  Oh, and I've run Windows 10 technical preview on this machine before, a while ago  Thanks for any help in advance.

I am currently running 8.1. I'd like to try out Windows 10 and if I like it upgrade. If not, I'll keep running as I am.   I've never used a virtual machine before: can Window 10 be used from a virtual machine as a "sandbox", and if so how?

A new version of Ubuntu has been released. I still can't find it on ubuntu.com. Where can it be downloaded from, or is it the only way to install it using update-manager to upgrade an existing installation?

I have a bootable USB drive with Ubuntu installed.   This morning I Installed VirtualBox and booted my Ubuntu drive in a VM. I then installed the guest additions in Ubuntu.   My question/curiosity is, what would happen if I boot the drive again outside of the VirtualBox VM, using a physical computer?  Will my Ubuntu work normally or is something going to change?
