I've installed virtual box on Win7 in a windows environment. The main reason was to open it for linux applications Ubuntu. I'm lost in virtual space now. All is working on the server ... but as I read I need to install Xming ...X11 to be able to access Ubuntu... This is a lot of overkill for unexperienced users that only want to access Ubuntu applications is there a way to do this straight forward (VDRE? on xp to Win7 server running virtual Ubuntu) all help welcome
Hi, Dreuzel Did you install a desktop or server version of Ubuntu? The best way to start is with a desktop version, then you start the vm and use it... like Windows ( or perhaps I am missing the point)
Did that installed desktop launch it using VirtualBOx localy and all happens correctly ... But from any other (not the server, i could use RDP Vrdp,.....????) but I can not access Ubuntu (ps defined network Bridge and fixed an IP address (not NAT)) Ping to the Ubuntu Virtual machine works .... I want to integrate applications hiding the fact that I'm using Ubuntu (set up x server ,,,,and work through a double emulated login .... the real virtual way ....) THis is what I miss and find no way how to handle it .... As I googled arround from Ubuntu it seems a lot easer .... but people do not have Ubuntu they have windows7 /xp
