Virtualbox V4.1.18 Mac

I'm using VirtualBox (v4.1.18) on Kubuntu-12.10. I have a Windows 7 vdi file which I attached to a new VM with the 'existing disk' option. The resulting VM starts to boot up but then BSODs during the startup screen. Then I used vboxmanage to clonehd the vdi file into a 'raw' disk file. Using Xen on the same host, and an. Some changes will be introduced in the next package release of virtualbox since v4.1.18. Vboxbuild will be dropped in favor of upstream provided dkms config. (FS#30692) (FS#30749) (FS#28792) vboxweb and vboxservice gain systemd service files (FS#30725) vbox-service will be renamed into vboxservice and config file is now backuped.

Aug 14, 2012 RE: Older versions of Mac OS X in Virtual Box: I have found that Snow Leopard will run in Virtual Box v4.1.18 on a Mac running Mountain Lion, but not well. It seems slower than I would expect which may be due to lack of Mac specific guest additions.

Steven MacDonald quoted:

'For the first time, Apple is allowing owners of OS X (client version) to run multiple virtual copies on the same machine.'

The above quote refers to the Lion EULA. The quote from the EULA:

(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software.

My understanding is that if you run Lion, you may run one or two other OS X versions in virtual environments. However, this changes nothing for users who do not have Lion.

So, the 64 dollar question is: Can you run OLDER copies of OS 10 in a virtual space? This would clear up my impending problem with not having Rosetta.

If you use the free VirtualBox app to run Snow Leopard under Lion, here is a tip: VirtualBox on Mac does not yet support Guest Additions, which are needed for having a shared folder with the host (Lion).

What I have done is use Dropbox instead. If you already have a big, paid Dropbox account, you probably want to use its Selective Sync feature to just keep one folder in sync. If you use the 2GB free account -- or you open such a free account for this purpose -- you may as well sync the whole thing.

Hope that helps some people out there.

You can run older version of Mac OS X in a virtual machine as long as you don't care about the license agreement that says that it's not allowed.

I used DropBox as well to get my PPC app into the 10.6 server running in VirtualBox. Easy!

A MacInTouch Reader asks - Can you run *older* copies of OS 10 in a virtual space?

If using VirtualBox, then only as old as the OS X version that came with your Mac. Apparently the OS X installers check to see if they can run on your model and CPU. VirtualBox passes this information through to the VM, so the installer will be able to check this even in the virtual environment.

This means that if you buy a new Mac that comes with Lion, you won't be able to install an earlier version of OS X, like Snow Leopard.

Ian Cottam says that VirtualBox does not have Guest Addition support, so you can't use shared folders. I turned on File Sharing in the System Preferences and then shared a folder. In the OS X guest, all I needed to do is Connect to Server (afp to the IP address currently assigned to my host Mac) and enter the User ID and Password of my account on the host. Voila, shared folder.

My real gripe with not having Guest Addition support is that the clock on my guest OS X tends to run about five percent slower than real time. Also Snow Leopard as a guest for some reason ignores the Never setting in the screen saver, whereas on a Leopard guest it works fine.

Regarding using Dropbox, their T&C say:

'By submitting your stuff to the Services, you grant us (and those we work with to provide the Services) worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable rights to use, copy, distribute, prepare derivative works (such as translations or format conversions) of, perform, or publicly display that stuff to the extent reasonably necessary for the Service.'

Many people seem happy with these terms, but I prefer to retain ownership of my material.

To Ian re:Virtual Box on Lion:

Ian, I use Virtual Box on Snow Leopard and am sharing folders fine using Virtual Box V 4.0.8 r71778. Are you saying this sharing will not work on Lion?
Thanks.

Ian Cottam

A couple of people say they have sharing working fine. That's great, but I'm afraid it's not working for me.
I'm preparing for Lion by trying Snow Leopard inside a Virtualbox running on a host Snow Leopard. VirtualBox 4.0.6.
I know there is an update, so will try that.

I haven't been part of the Lion beta, so have no knowledge of what will really happen any day now :-)

Since my 10.6.3 DVD and 10.6.0 Server DVD were unsuccessful, and my 10.6.4 iMac DVD made a lot more progress, I tried my 10.6.7 iMac DVD -- unfortunately with the same result of 'can't be installed on this computer.'

Maybe it's a limitation of the processor choices available in VirtualBox when used with newer Macs like my 2010 Mac Pro? Has anyone figured out a way to mount VirtualBox's VDI image, so we could clone an OS installation onto it? We almost need something like XPostFacto for VirtualBox.

Regarding using Dropbox, their T&C say:

Many people seem happy with these terms, but I prefer to retain ownership of my material.

This kind of issue has been brought up on the MacInTouch forums before in regard to cloud-based services, and the answer is the same: In order to actually do their work, most if not all cloud services need terms something like this. If you store a picture on a cloud-based web album, and want a friend to view it? To legally display the picture on another computer, the cloud service needs a license to publicly display the image, or they're breaking your copyright on the image. If you uploaded the picture as a TIFF file, they need a license to prepare derivative works to convert it from TIFF to JPEG/PNG to show it in that web browser. And so on, and so forth.

I Am Not A Lawyer, but I'd say the key terms here are 'non-exclusive' (i.e. they aren't trying to shut you out from another cloud service), 'sublicenseable' (i.e. an ISP or content delivery network they hire to help with load balancing needs the same permissions) and 'to the extent reasonably necessary for the Service.' (i.e. they can't go beyond what's needed to actually, you know, *use* the service.)
