Headless VirtualBox on Centos

+2 votes
279 views

I am wondering if there is a set of scripts/utilities for automatically starting and running headless (no X11) VM's using VirtualBox omn a CentOS 6 server. VNC/RDP access to the VM's would be fine.

Any help much appreciated.

Centos 6.4 and Virtualbox

I'm trying to install Centos 6.4 under Virtualbox on a Mac running Lion. I downloaded the 2 iso DVD files and set Virtualbox to boot from DVD 1

When I start the vm it puts out a lot of messages then asks me what kind of install I want to do. I select the basic install and it tells me it found the media ( the iso DVD file I downloaded) puts out a message about the anaconda ( I think) install starting then goes to a screen with the Centos 6 logo and appears to do nothing. No more messages appear.

Should I be using the minimal iso install file?

I have installed Windows XP, 7 and 8 under Virtualbox and they all work. I also installed Ubuntu but didn't like it so I removed it and thought I would try Centos

Does anyone know what might be going on and how to get it working?

Running MacOSX as VM under CentOS 5.10?

Is it even remotely possible to run MacOSX (or Darwin) as VM under CentOS 5.10/ xen? Or am I better off not even trying and just getting a MacMini or MacBook to just jack into my LAN? I just need a 'build box' and possibly something to do light testing (eg does the program run? Does the GUI come up?).

I can cross-build for MS-Windows using mgwin32 and I have VMs for CentOS 6, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc. Only MacOSX is missing from the 'mix'.

Upgrade win7 running under VirtualBox to Win10 fails?

I'm running win7 prof under Fedora/VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.10_104061_fedora22-1.x86_64 with a valid product key.

If I try to upgrade to win10, it's rejected: cpu not supported (or similar), and not supported video card (the last seems to be a minor issue).

But my CPU is: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz. The NX bit is on.

Installing win10 by the media creation tool in VirtualBox runs flawlessly (only the product key is invalid).

So my question: Anybody made similar experiences and could solve the issue?
