VirtualBox Thread

I do, yes. Thank you for asking.
Trying out different distros, mostly. I used to be a rampant hopper--well I still am, I guess--until I told myself to just create a VM. The same thing happens in a VM that would've happened if I'd installed the distro on metal: I get bored after a day and want to try something else.

So what stupid things have I done with VirtualBox? Enabled my own mental illness, for one.

No, I use VMWare Workstation though.

>Does anon use VirtualBox?
Absolutely not. VirtualBox is deprecated bullshit software. QEMU is where it is at today. Of course, VMWare is good too, but proprietary and I found QEMU with virt-manager and libvirt really fucking good so no need. For enterprise, VMWare is obviously much more feasible. However for one single Windows VM for games with GPU passthrough? QEMU/kvm any day of the week.

What do I do with my VM? Play intense video games that has problems in Wine (DX11 and very performance depending games) and use Microshit software like Visual Studio that doesn't work in GNU/Linux because Nutella wants to keep their marketshare.

I've configured my kernel for full QEMU support (including GPU passthrough) but can't be bothered to figure out if there's GUI for that thing and move from virtual box.

>>57639042
Virt-manager is the GUI for QEMU/kvm. It uses libvirt.

You might need to edit some stuff manually for GPU pass since not all settings are "GUI'fied". That's done through virsh (which is part of libvirt). So just create your VM using virt-manager, configure it in the GUI and edit the XML using "virsh edit [VMName]" in a terminal for certain passthrough settings like getting rid of Code 43 if you're using NVIDIA or CPU pinning.

Here's a screenshot of it in action.

I use it. Because I'm doing some course and I have to do this thing where I have to teach people how to use virtual machines for basic networking and stuff like installing loonix distros.

I usually use Parallels Workstation 2.2.2222 as my VM but I tried VirtualBox a few months ago. I was surprised at how similar it was to PW in regards to speed, size, and ease of use. I also really like how VirtualBox handled the mouse and keyboard compared to PW. I will most likely switch to VMWare since I don't like how PW is one of the few pirated programs left on my machine.

I use a VM for game botting, restoring untouched registry data, code testing, installing malware, and my inevitable future Firefox update.

Is there a way to use QEMU over a network (connecting to the IP of the vmserver ), possibly through virtmanager?

>>57640437
Like QEMU using a network that allows you to connect to it?

If you go into Edit -> Connection Details in virt-manager you'll find settings for virtualized networking and network interfaces. You might find what you're looking for there.

>>57640437
You can use virt-manager over SSH with x11 forwarding. Obviously you can also just ssh to the hypervisor and use the command line interface.

We use it extensively at work, by way of vagrant. Continuous integration uses vagrant to test every commit and all our devs use it for local testing.

Production isn't in virtualbox though.

I use vmware esxi at home too, mostly for shits n gigs.

You just set up a new connection in virt-manager and connect to it from there, if that's what you mean.

>>57644871
>Just trying to get the sound to not sound like shit.
Here's a few protips:

>Use libvirt/virt-manager
While I liked using the commandline and a script, it had huge implications for performance. For some reason, using virt-manager and libvirt helped with the performance significantly. Plus it has some features like the one below.

>Use CPU pinning.
I researched this pretty intensively and this was the huge thing that solved it for me and another person I helped get this up and running on.

It is done by adding this to your "virsh edit [NameOfVM]" in the terminal:

  <cputune>
    <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='6'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='7'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='4'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='5'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='4' cpuset='2'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='5' cpuset='3'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='6' cpuset='0'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='7' cpuset='1'/>
  </cputune>

Remove as many VCPUs (threads) as you want. Personally I have a 6-core 5820K so I have 8 VCPUs (4 cores, 2 threads) pinned while using the VM as shown in the example.

>Remove all shit you don't need.
Remove bullshit like other graphical inputs, USBs, DVD/CD drives, channels and such. Example of what I have on mine here: >>57639148

>Getting sound without SPICE servers
On the top of the virsh edit [NameOfVM] there's a domain name field. Edit this to:

<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>

Now add:

  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:env name='QEMU_AUDIO_DRV' value='pa'/>
    <qemu:env name='QEMU_PA_SERVER' value='/run/user/1000/pulse/native'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

Near the bottom for Pulse.

>extension pack is installed but Virtual Box cant start if I use anything but 1.1 USB. I get an error right at the start
>webcam gets recognized on the USB list though and I added it
>lsusb doesnt show it in ubuntu though

it works perfect in win8. and no its not deactivated by FN keys or so

>>57645302
>GNOME boxes
>GNOME
I'm using XFCE.

>>57645348
Do you also have down syndrome?

>>57645490
I don't think so, he doesn't use GNOME.

>>57645317
Might as well add. The reason why your sound is shit is because of DPC latency. Windows is having trouble solving drivers' tasks in time which means other important tasks are getting delayed and thus the sound processing is delayed and makes garbled sounds. A game that often makes the garbled sound is Victoria 2 by Paradox. I don't exactly recommend buying it if you don't have it already, but if you do, it will be an easy indicator whether or not you have solved the problem.

So getting rid of extra devices (more devices == more drivers) and setting the CPU pinning so that the VM can better utilize the CPU is what solves it as Windows can faster process the driver requests and has less drivers to fuck with. Might as well also recommend to debloat Windows 10 using the Windows 10 debloating scripts. The less bloat running in the background, the better.

Also, if your VM sometimes is stuck on shutting down, enable MSI on your passed HDMI audio. There's a thread about it on Guru3D that has a script and a program that can automatically do that.

>>57645490
Have you seen those dependencies?
Also boxes is lacking a lot.
And who uses GNOME? You either go for XFCE,MATE or KDE.

>>57645348
I believe he meant virt-manager when he said libvirt. It is pretty much the only and best GUI for QEMU/kvm.

Oh thanks man, also i have 2x xeons with 16 threads in total, i cant really tell which ones are the physical cores to pin properly, also what about hugepages does that do a fuckton in help? Im doing a usb passthrough of my headset i heard passing through the entire usb controller helps get rid of the scratchy audio (if i had more than 2 usbs). Which is why i thought about buying a usb card. Also already using virtmanager/libvirt because virsh is amazing. I got rid of the spice server as it did cause some weird stuff to the display at some points

>>57645261
Physical or screenfetch?

>>57645344
Have you installed the VirtualBox extension pack? Also, make sure you have the right VirtualBox installed, 32bit version for 32bit machines, 64bit for 64bit machines. With the extension pack you can do USB2.0 and 3.0 and more

>>57646341
> 2x xeons with 16 threads in total, i cant really tell which ones are the physical cores to pin properly
In that case you can just copy paste the cputune section I posted previously. It'll give you 4 physical cores and 2 threads. If you want more, just add more vcpupins beyond 7 like

 <vcpupin vcpu='8' cpuset='8'/>

>what about hugepages does that do a fuckton in help?
Yes, hugepages will help because it'll reserve a chunk of the memory for the VM with larger page files. This way the CPU will have less pagefaults where it would need to look up the page again. Generally hugepages is recommended for performance all around. However I personally don't have it enabled and it works great for me with just ballooning it.

>Im doing a usb passthrough of my headset i heard passing through the entire usb controller helps get rid of the scratchy audio (if i had more than 2 usbs).
Maybe. It would allow for more direct access so it might help. Though I don't think that's necessary.

>>57646408
I did cpu pinning originally and had 8 cores locked in place, just didnt know if they were physical cores or not that i was pinning.

In your setup does that allow pulse audio to act as windows' audio without me having to pass a usb card/or headset? If so I'll definitely try that, audio and disk io seem to be the worst things for me atm (windows runs fine until i start downloading a game etc and the disk usage goes up which locks up windows) and i dont have virtio scsi for some reason

>>57646493
>just didnt know if they were physical cores or not that i was pinning.
As for as I've understood after looking at other people's setups, a VCPU is not a full core, but rather threads in a core. So if you pin both threads in a core, the entire core is pinned. That's why I have 8 VCPUs in my setup where 0-7 = 8, which equals to 4 cores and 2 threads (4 * 2 = 8).

>In your setup does that allow pulse audio to act as windows' audio without me having to pass a usb card/or headset?
Yes.

Might as well post my config:
http://pastebin.com/tmFh0MNB

Don't copy paste it though as that probably won't work. But try looking over it. I've commented some parts of it. For audio without SPICE, look at the domain tag at the top and qemu:commandline section at the bottom.

What's the minimum hardware to run a VM?

>>57646626
Depends on your use case and what OS you are going to run in it.

Generally at least 2-3GB of RAM, and a multicore CPU that supports VT-x. For gaming with passthrough you'd need a CPU with VT-d, preferably 4 or more cores and I'd recommend 16GB of RAM (8GB to the VM). Your mileage may vary.

>>57646655
So running a VM on a laptop is a big no.

shouldn't be a problem, even on a Gen 1 i5 Notebook 4GB is plenty just check before you launch how much your base OS is consuming ... but for XP i'm guessing even if you run a bigger application (not games obv.) you won't exceed more than 1 - 1.5 GB

One for a devkitpro build environment because i couldn't be bothered to install it on my host os, one for LAMP stuff and one for lewd japanese rpgmaker games in an xp machine that boots in a literal second making me a bit sad.
The last one audibly stutters a great deal now and I'm still not sure why, it used to work perfectly in virtualbox.

I'm using virtual machines exclusively to run japanese porn games. I used to use virtualbox a few years ago but the 3D performance was embarrassingly low. vmware was impressively fast so I stuck to it. The only downside is that I have to maintain patches in /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules since that shit is only tested on rhel and shit.

I plan to use gpu passthrough with my next build to get my AAA games fix without dual booting. I will continue to play my jap games in windowed mode with vmware, though.

>>57647327
Wine has some problems but works overall for these sort of games. I was just sick and tired of managing dozen of custom prefixes with proper patches and dlls. Some games also abuse the APIs windows provides and that in turn make them run slow as shit in wine. Nowadays mpeg playback is STILL a problem and they are fiddling with gstreamer in staging that crashes the games because it's incomplete. using ffdshow is also often not stable enough. I do have some scripts handy to automate installation, desktop file creation and prefixes but the unstable nature of it made me despair. Also, dlsite gamemanager is a godsend that doesn't work in the slightest in wine.

Seriously just put everything into a 200GB vmdk and be done with all that bullshit. vmware has good enough 3D performance so that isn't a problem anymore, unlike virtualbox fuck oracle.

>>57647958
I need to run VM inside a live linux session.

i use qemu instead, virtual box has been fucky in latee versions with i3-wm. couldnt get the whole window to show etc

>>57647982
Did the qemu args actually save in virsh? If the domain thing isn't properly sat it will ignore them.

Do you have multiple users?

>>57648120
Yeah they seemed to have saved, left out the vga parts. Also in the vm the hdmi driver says its not entirely working (even though it says its the latest version)

>>57648120
Also no just run it as root and it gives it a qemu user>>57648120

>>57648214
Right.

Find your user ID, it's probably 1000, but double check that it is by running:

id -u  $WHOAMI

If it is different, edit the qemuarg that says

/run/user/1000/pulse/native

To whatever your ID is.

Edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

Look for

nographics_allow_host_audio

Make sure it is sat to 1 and not 0.

Find

vnc_allow_host_audio

Make sure it is sat to 1.

Find
user =
Make sure it is

user = 1000

Or whatever your ID was.

I also have

group = "libvirt"

Though I'm not sure if the last one matters.

>>57648289
Alright i did it but still no sound, didnt restart libvirt however so maybe i need to do that. Also didnt add myself to the libvirt group so ill try that after

>>57648289
Woops didnt do user = 1000 didnt even see that

>>57638193
+1

>>57648397
>didnt restart libvirt however so maybe i need to do that.
You need to restart the service after messing with qemu.conf.

sudo service libvirt restart.

>>57648415
Yes, add that as well.

>>57648289
SHIT it works thanks a fuckton dude, have to say this is the first time someone legitimately helped me on /g/

I am running Linux and have Windows 10 installed in VirtualBox for Microsoft Office. I am planning to try Autocad and solidworks how is the performance (for simple drawings mostly to learn the software) under VirtualBox?

Win7 + Ubuntu MATE from qemu on puppy linux.

Have any of you guys ever had a problem with 24/7/365 VM uptime without using ECC? I've had to restart my VMs at least once every two weeks or so to fix registry errors and crashes.
Anyone else have to do this on non-ECC memory?

>>57649193
Not gonna lie never really have to reboot my vms but i use ECC on everything, so maybe thats another benefit to ECC

I've had to do a fresh re-install of Debian twice since I started running it in a VM last year. The OS would throw out errors every hour and I can't install or update anything without having it fail halfway. It looks like I'll have to do the same with my Linux Mint and Ubuntu VMs.

Has anyone else here replaced all of their desktops with tablets and a VM server?
How does it feel to join the new masterrace?

Locale issue?

>>57649599
nope

>>57649646
The only thing I could think of is driver issue.

I used it because I wanted to try the distributions. Not really a purpose in it, but I guess I get to say I used most of them.

It's a unique experience because I get a real feel for them instead of listening to cucks because they'd just tell me to use Ubuntu. Which I actually didn't really find to be any good. It's okay, but it's not the normie go to that they try to make it.

My favorites in no order are:

Manjaro
Kali Linux
Fedora
Debian

I really like Manjaro, but practically I'd probably use Fedora. Maybe Debian at the end of it.

Then again I don't use Linux so I don't care.

>>57649929
Why use VM for linux when you can run it in live environment?

>>57646961
Windows 10 installs on it fine for me.

>>57646961
I think that's BIOS related.

Is there any real benefit between running four Type-1 hypervisor VMs (two cores each) on a quad-core with hyperthreading over four Type-2 hypervisors (same number of cores) on a real eight core processor? Assume near similar clock speeds for both.

>>57637475
No Solus, Kevin is pissed

>>57636393
I do but now that I've read this thread a bit I'm worried. Does Windows run so much better in VMWare compared to VirtualBox?

Using it to freeze a copy of Windows XP running a shitty 10-day-demo of a very specialized program.

Can you run Linux in Parallels, or just Windows?
I'm running a back-level of OSX in VirtualBox on OSX (because I can). Can you do that in Parallels?

I use VBox with multiple lubuntu instances so I can use them with different clients networks without worrying to mix up anything.

And the usual XP to some informal use, no one on their right mind would use XP on the internet.

>>57640628
so your testing setup works better with VMWare than with VBox?

bump

fuck vmware

>>57659646
Enjoy your shitty type-2 hypervisor. No one uses that shit for work.

yes, we use vagrant boxes in development
phalcon is a bitch to setup otherwise

Vagrant mostly, I haven't fallen for the docker meme yet.
Plus Haiku and to relive my childhood memories with Win 3.11.

esxi>parallels>vmware workstation/fusion>virtualbox>anything else
although with parallels starting to put ads in it's getting really annoying
especially since the default option when creating a new vm is "get windows 10" instead of "install from an iso" or whatever.
oh and for anyone complaining about vmwares prices for fusion/workstation: just google for a key and you will find them right away.
esxi is free though, and it runs great on my old laptop.

>so your testing setup works better with VMWare than with VBox?

Anything works better than VirtualBox. Especially VMware.

>>57636393
how powerfull does my computer need to be if i want to run 5 layers of virtual machine running in virtual machine in virtual machine...

>>57636393
I did on linux,

because vmware is a pain in the ass to install and required doing some weird commadn line shit every time I wanted to load it and then it would only open the vm about 1 in 10 times.

On windows I used vmware and vmplayer, it was good.

Now that I read that the devs of virtualbox have said not to count on virtualbox for security, Im making the move over to kvm/qemu or as Ive taking to calling it kvm-qemu + a waste of fucking time.
Its truely a pain in the ass. The second I get something working right, I get even more issues.

>>57662040
Virt-manager is a GUI for libvirt which is an API for creating virtual machines mainly for kvm/QEMU or Xen.

>Do they make my audio not sound like shit?
If you have the same problem as >>57644871 you can follow the post-chain and get that solved with it. So yes.

>Do they give me drag and drop or shared clipboard?
With SPICE, yes.

>>57636393
>tfw you use kvm and libvirt+ virt-manager
Feels good.

>What did you do with it?

Have a bloody virtualization server running on ubuntu server for a school project.
And have another Lab running at home.
Mostly general usage on both ends (DNS,NTP,Mail, DBase,SAMBA and NFS).

Every single service is housed on a single VM for easy of usage.
