How do I get this booting from my USB vmdk file? see attached image how I have set up my disk. //Peter

According to your logs and what you described it seems that the packages (vbox and extension) were not installed properly probably due to a bad download of the packages. If the download is done from the plugin WEBUI it is important not to interrupt it by refreshing the WEBUI - that kills the download and gives a partially downloaded package. You might considering start using a md5 check for the files that is DL , so we know that the file are correct, see other plugin, see below of a example. <FILE Name="/boot/packages/infozip-6.0-i486-1.txz" Run="upgradepkg --install-new"> <URL>http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.37/slackware/a/infozip-6.0-i486-1.txz</URL> <MD5>4d59c199192a5fc4dc55089edcb66723</MD5> //Peter

Thanks, looks great! //P

Perhaps this can help http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=25099.msg224284#msg224284 //Peter

Agree //P

No, a alternative to phpvirtualbox

Maybe some one can create a new plugin that manage/create/delete machines, like it's done from the command prompt (from the link on post above), then we have a new interface to our VM machines //Peter

Didn't work 100%, now machine shows up in phpvirtualbox, however copy all files from /boot/custom/vbox to new location, all is working ;-) //Peter

Thanks, How about to move all machines from cache to the array, I need to have some protection, what is the best way to do this? can this be a part of the plugin? ;-) //Peter

Any one knows if the files in /boot/custom/vbox is just temporary files? It looks like if they are removed, no machine show up in the web GUI (phpvirtualbox) //Peter

I manage to fix this, needed to DL the VBoxGuestAdditions_4.2.6.iso from here -> http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.6/ Then I add this to storage for the VM, then in slackware I mounted this and run the installer, now it works EDIT Works on slackware 32 but not on slackware 14 64bit, is VBoxGuestAdditions_4.2.6.iso not compatible with 64 bit OS ? EFIT 2 Solved; increased the display memory, now everything works Learning by doing //Peter

For me my menu looks like this when I started a VM

Hi, I have following issues 1: no internet on Slackware 32 & 64 bit, but W8 I have internet 2: no Install Guest Additions both for slack & w8 I cant find where to Install Guest Additions, my bee that is why I have low resolution and mouse lagging ? Any one have a solution to make progress ? Maybe Install Guest Additions should be a part of the plugin? EDIT I found this on google After installing Windows (XP, 7, etc.) on your virtual machine, simply select Devices ? Install Guest Additions... But that is not existing in phpvirtualbox see a image attached //Peter

change settings, default is writing to the flash see image

OK, I have BR10i, but that would be the same procudure.. ;-) The file type to patch under UEFI is that windows or linux? //Peter

Thanks, cane you explain UEFI she'll ? How I can change to that ? // Peter

I found a utility for dos, but now I got this errot Failed to initialize PAL Any clue what that means ?? //Peter

Start flashing my BR10i card .... Just made a USB bootable with DOS, but the program to flash can't be run under DOS :-( what is the alternative, I do not have any more PC to flash on except my server. //Peter

But that is not from the plugin ;-) wrong place to ask perhaps ;-) //Peter

Hmm, can it be better to move /boot/custom/vbox to RAM ? so we minimize writing to flash ? //Peter

Thanks
