Im sure itll be a big help I'm not willing to post it to a public site unless you can point me to specific policy in the virtualbox license or their site that says it's ok to redistribute modified compilations. If you personally have an ftp site or server I can upload it to, I'll send it to you. I am NOT willing to share it at large unless someone with the authority to say so says it's ok. And no, even if an upload site says the files are only available to the person(s) with the direct link, the files are still available publicly, or so the megaupload case seems to say. So, get me permission from virtualbox to post it, or access to a site controlled by you. Sorry to be this way. I just don't want to expose myself to copyright liability. Link to comment

wisem2540 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Well I must say, I was very hopeful of this... My VM is easily twice as fast as it was before... this version appears better in every way... However... it still hangs during the format stage. I am attempting to install Windows 7 32 bit. When i get to the paritition part, its listed as 45GB unallocated, which is correct, I click next as usual and w7 circle just spins and spins.... Any ideas? EDIT it also appears that stopping the VM hangs too... 28% just like before Link to comment
wisem2540 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 OK so heres the deal.... As a test, I decided to install XP rather than windows 7. But I changed the chipset from IPP 3 (or whatever it says) to ICH. I also noticed that when installed XP, its default is an IDE drive and not a sata drive.... INterestingly, I can stop the VM too.... so all seems well So I went back to install windows 7, only this time, I changed the chipset to ICH and deleted the sata controller it wanted to use and replaced it with IDE. And IT WORKS! Which setting fixed it? I am not sure. The fact is I really dont care. I cannot believe no one else had this issue..... Link to comment
Joe L. Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 It looks like someone accidentally left the last digit of their IP address in a cut and paste. Try it without the extraneous 1. It was not an extra character. It is shell syntax to re-direct file-descriptor 1 (standard output) to /dev/null. Then 2>&1 re-directs file descriptor 2 (stderr output) to the same place as file-descriptor 1. (also to /dev/null) Link to comment

I thought it was directing all output to /dev/null vboxwebsrv -H 192.168.117.30>/dev/null 2>&1 & and I really didn't know why the rest was there, but I used it because it was in the example I built from.

If you do not specify a file descriptor, "1" (stdout) is assumed for the ">" operator. In the same way, "0" (stdin) is assumed for the "<" operator if no file-descriptor is specified. If you had typed 2> /dev/null then stderr (file-descriptor 2) would be sent to /dev/null If you had typed: 5> /dev/null then file-descriptor 5 would be sent to /dev/null. (FD 5 is not usually in use unless you sent output to it.) Link to comment
ajburnet Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi all - inexperienced linux man so please bare with me! I'm on 5b14 and the header script fails, I think because the src kernel folder is not /usr/src/linux but is /usr/src/linux-3.1.1-unRAID. I assume the 3.1.1 kernel should also be used too? So - assuming the answer is yes I adjusted the script which seemed to go okay (3.1.1 kernel and changes the src folder to 'linux'). Th virtualbox install however showed the following issues: Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation...........

joeshmoe1 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Does anyone have a DVD drive working in virtualbox? Mine is not showing up and I'm wondering if it's a virutalbox configuration issue or if it's that unriad's kernel doesn't have CD/DVD drive support. Link to comment
heyme Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Can Virtual box utilize additional H/W that Unraid doesn't For example if I have multiple nics, I know unraid uses just the first card, however can I assign additional cards to a VM (seperate connections for traffic balancing?) How about sound cards (USB/Onboard or PCI?) Anyone doing anything like this? Link to comment
wisem2540 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have 3 machines streaming from unraid and im not maxing out my nic...ever. A soundcard? For what? RDP emulates sound as it is, even with audio disabled in the bios? What is your justification for needing this? Link to comment

dheg Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 ok. it didn't work... I followed the wiki instructions and get it to work, including php access and RDP from my laptop, but when I shut down the server to test whether it re-installs over reboots, it didn't work. I tried the whole installation procedure twice to check that I made the VBox packager right, but no success: I don't get it to make it permanent over reboots. This is the output of the putty session: Tower login: root Password: Linux 2.6.32.9-unRAID. root@Tower:~# cd /mnt/disk/apps/vbox root@Tower:/mnt/disk/apps/vbox# installpkg vbox-4.1.8-75467-unRAID.tgz Verifying package vbox-4.1.8-75467-unRAID.tgz.

wisem2540 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 hey instead of using 127.0.0.1 try using the IP of then unraid server Link to comment
dheg Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 It didn't work root@Tower:/mnt/disk/apps/vbox# vboxwebsrv -H 192.168.1.131 1>/dev/null 2>&1 & [1] 19038 Everything fine, but I couldn't access the phpVirtualBox webpage, getting the error: Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083/) I tried then to set the authoritation mode and get an error and stop of the vboxserver root@Tower:/mnt/disk/apps/vbox# VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage: error: Failed to initialize COM! [1]+ Exit 3 vboxwebsrv -H 192.168.1.131 >/dev/null 2>&1 I just don't get it. I can install it and make it work, compile the package without issues, but I can't make it work over reboots Link to comment
wisem2540 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 This is your command ? mnt/disk/apps/vbox# vboxwebsrv -H 192.168.1.131 1>/dev/null 2>&1 & [1] 19038 You need to navigate to the Vbox directory then simply run vboxwebsrv -H 192.168.1.131 1>/dev/null 2>&1 & make sense? Link to comment
dheg Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I ran this: root@Tower:~# vboxwebsrv -H 192.168.1.131 1>/dev/null 2>&1 & [1] 28716 So it loads process # 28716 However, if i go to the php web page I get this error message Could not connect to host (http://192.168.1.131:18083/) Link to comment
wisem2540 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 So did you install the unraid web server? Did you configure the port? Link to comment
dheg Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I did. I just configured a new port (8089), just in case, and restart the server. Still the same error. Is it possible I didn't compile right the vbox package. I did it three times though... Link to comment
