If you want to change it or see what it is, use the following from the Oracle VirtualBox VM Window's menu: By default, the Host Key is the Ctrl on the right side of the keyboard (called Right Ctrl). Your first step is to know your Host Key, which is the key that disables the VM guest's grabbing of the mouse and keyboard. Getting to Virtual Terminals (like what you get when you press Ctrl+Alt+F3 on bare metal) is dead-bang easy in VirtualBox. Getting to Virtual Terminals in VirtualBox Do not access the "resize" operation from the window's top left button: That will prevent you from dragging where you want. If your host window manager doesn't provide corner dragging to resize windows, you need to right click the titlebar, select "resize", and drag. Once it's in scale mode, use your typical Host OS methods to resize the containing window.

No problem, put it in Scale Mode with the following scale toggle key combo: Sometimes, even if you put the guest in Fullscreen, you end up viewing everything in a tiny portion of that fullscreen, and if you have bad vision, it can be hard to read. Note that the key should probably be a modifier key. Then, click the content area of the "Host Key", and press a key on your keyboard to change the Hostkey. The way you find out whether your host hardware supports hardware VM assist is with one of these commands, depending on whether you have an Intel or an AMD processor: If not, it's five times slower than bare metal, erasing every possible benefit.

Linux installation is faster on a VM guest than on bare metal, if and only if, the host hardware has hardware VM assist. The biggest DIY benefit of virtual machines is speed. Use Only Hardware With Hardware VM Assist

VIRTUALBOX STARTX SOFTWARE

This document discusses only software available in the GPLv2 core. Some VirtualBox tasks require either the extra stuff covered under the VirtualBox Personal and Evaluation License, or the VirtualBox software under the Commercial License. If you want to do things like testing networking, USB or sound, you'll need to either get much more proficiency than this document provides, or, after you see that it's basically working as a host, run the distro on bare metal. Instead, this document tries to give you one reliable alternative for each activity necessary for Linux distribution DIY.

This document doesn't tell you how to optimally use VirtualBox. In the hands of the most knowledgeable, VirtualBox can perform miracles. VirtualBox is a powerful, flexible, and quite complicated system. But you're just using it to test and tweak Linux distributions.

To get Virtualbox' full suite, or to use it in a profit-making business, you'd probably need to buy a proprietary Virtualbox license.

License: Qemu is 100% Free Software, whereas Virtualbox is pusherware with a GPLv2 core, the proprietary but not too obnoxious VirtualBox Personal and Evaluation License.

Therefore, the person fluent in both stands the greatest chance of succeeding.

One might work on a distro that the other doesn't.

The more knowledgeable you are, the more advantageous command line interfaces.

Qemu is administered on the command line, whereas Virtualbox is administered via the Virtualbox GUI.

Try both.ĭifferences between Virtualbox and Qemu include the following: This document discusses only VirtualBox's default networking, which is very simple.ĭistros that fail with VirtualBox might succeed with Qemu, and vice versa. Also, networking on a VM can be very complicated, depending on the extent you want to emulate what you'd do with an individual computer. Things that work in a VM might fail on hardware, and vice versa. I'm not saying VM experimentation is completely authoritative. And, of course, there's the simple fact that switching computers or hard disks is time consuming, and monetarily costly.

iso file instead, which saves a lot of time and fooling around.

Installs go a lot faster on VMs, plus you can install straight off an. Virtual machines (VMs) are a must if you do a lot of Do It Yourself (DIY) and feel the need for speed.
