What else can I help you with?
When you install Ubuntu on Windows using VMWare how can you make sure that Ubuntu appears on the boot screen so that you can choose the OS at boot time?
You can't. You aren't running Ubuntu directly on the hardware, but in a virtual machine. The virtual machine requires you to boot into Windows before you can start it. I am not aware of any options for Windows that would let you boot and start only a single application separately from another boot entry.
How do you install ubuntu on win 7 host virtualbox?
You can run it as a virtual machine under win 7 by using VMWare player. Also, see the related link for Wubi - a way of installing Ubuntu under a windows file system (not virtually)
Is there a way to turn PC software into Mac software?
No. Using a virtual machine or a compatibility layer like Darwine, you can run Windows programs on Mac OS X, however.
A Quick Introduction To Virtual Machine Software?
As more computer users require the capabilities of programs and utilities that aren’t native to their own specific operating systems, Virtual Machines continue to grow in popularity. What exactly is a Virtual Machine, you ask? It’s simple, really. A Virtual Machine is a software implementation of a physical computer that uses some of the RAM and CPU power of the host PC on which it is running. For example, let’s say you have a Windows PC but you need to use a program which only runs on a Mac. You could run Mac OS X on the Virtual Machine within Windows to accomplish any tasks needed.If that sounds complicated, it’s really much easier than it may seem at first. There are a number of options available to regular users to accomplish this. The main Virtual Machine software makers are VMware, VirtualBox, QEMUand Parallels. They all do roughly the same thing. Installing any of these virtualization software programs is generally straightforward and simple. On Linux, most distributions carry them within their repositories. With Windows, it’s usually as easy as downloading the executable file and running it to set up the Virtual Machine software with one click.To prepare a Virtual Machine for use, all that you would need to do is start the Virtual Machine program and click on the “New Machine” button. On a desktop or laptop PC, you’ll typically also need a Java Runtime Environment installed for the software to work. From there, you’ll make a Virtual Machine by creating a virtual hard disk. Then, you’ll need to copy a Virtual Disk Image or ISO file of the operating system you wish to run to the virtual hard disk. The Virtual Machine software walks you through the whole process and it typically only takes a few minutes at most. After your guest operating system is loaded on the Virtual Machine, you can run the programs you want, copying files back to the host operating system as needed.We’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible using Virtual Machine software, but hopefully you’ve gotten an idea of the power and versatility that these programs offer. Virtual Machines are used on everything from web servers to home computers to extend the capabilities of the underlying hardware. Ultimately, Virtual Machine software will play an increasingly important role in the future of computing.
Will Ubuntu run on a MacBook Pro?
If you want to run it via Boot Camp, it is possible to get it sort-of working and it will be a little difficult, because Apple does not include Linux drivers. Otherwise you can run it as a virtual machine using Parallels or VirtualBox or something.
Can you run vmware player onn ubuntu Linux?
VMware Player allows you to run entire operating systems in a virtual machine, which runs on top of Ubuntu or Windows. To the guest operating system (the one running inside the virtual machine), it appears as though it were running on its own PC. The host operating system runs the VMware Player, which provides the guest with things like network access. VMware Player is available from Ubuntu's Multiverse repository (in 6.06 LTS through 7.04), but is not included in Ubuntu 8.04/8.10. It can be downloaded for free from VMware.Virtual machines configured with an operating system and applications ready to perform a specific function are called virtual appliances. An appliance can be created using certain VMware products, or you can download ready-made appliances. A wide variety of appliances (both certified and not) are available from VMware's
What is the purpose of the VMware Consolidated Backup software?
To backup your virtual machines that are currently running, without disrupting the users and applications. That means while users are using the virtual machine, they can continue to use it while you make backups. They don't have to log off.
What the advantage for an operating system designer of using a virtual machine?
A virtual machine will provide generic hardware that can be found in many other computers. Having a virtual machine eliminates the need to have either a second system, or to reboot to test their operating system.
What is tha advantage for an operating system of using a virtual machine?
An advantage of using a virtual machine is you can run multiple operating systems under the umbrella of one operating system. Without a virtual machine you have to reboot every time you want to want to change operating systems but with a VM you can simply switch between them.
Which is better idea to install Linux on windows 7 basic dual boot or side by side or using virtual box?
Do you know how to partion a hard drive? Are you positive about using Ubuntu? If you answered "no" to either use a virtual box until you can answer "yes" to both.
What is a virutal machine?
A virtual machine is a physical device emulated in software. In current computing references, this means any given software that allows you to run guest operating systems on a given host (e.g. running Windows on a Macintosh computer while being able to use both operating systems at the same time using Parallels or running Windows 95 on Windows 8.1 at the same time using Oracle VirtualBox, QEMU, VMWare, or Microsoft Virtual PC).
What the advantage for an operating system designer of using a virtual machine what is the main advantage for a user?
If I was designing a program for a computer that I do not have only a virtual machine would allow me to do that. That, as a programer, means I can not only design but test software for a mainframe computer or a cloud network without having the expense of owning the real machine. As a user it means that all possible answers, problems, and fail over situations have already been found and fixed before the software goes commercial / live.
