<br>
Attached is an updated rst file and an images.zip file with renamed images. All of my images are png files, some of the original files were jpg files. I adjusted the rst to reflect his, but you might want to remove the old jpg files that have matching png files in my attachment.<br>
<br>
I have not way to visualize my changes until they are pushed into html, but I think I got all the changes into the updated rst file.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you need anything else.<br>
<br>
It might make sense to make a note that the images are based on VirtualBox 5.1 and Linux distributions might be based on older versions, but doing the logical thing should work if there is a mismatch.<br>
<br>
Or something to that effect.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

Hi Stephen,<br>
<br>
Thank you for having updated the virtualbox quickstart.<br>
<br>
I looked at your file, but it is an html file. We work from rst files to build the html files. This step is essential to our translation process.<br>
<br>
Can you please update the rst files in added files and send us back ? It is easier to compare files too.<br>
<br>
I also see that your updated images are numbered, I think it will be easier to just change their name to the one they replace. So the links don't have to be changed. And jo just have to insert new images.<br>
<br>
The whole documentation is available here:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeo<wbr>Live-doc</a><br>
<br>
<br>
For example, you can find virtualization in en/quickstart/virtualization_q<wbr>uickstart.rst and the images in images/screenshots/800x600/<br>
<br>
The best way to help us improved documentation is by this repository.<br>
<br>
thanks again for your work.<br>
<br>
@livedemo I found that there is an outdated virtualbox page [1], which I think we can remove, since all elements are in the virtualization quickstart. What do you think ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Nicolas (aka Bakaniko)<br>

Hi Cameron,<br>
<br>
I create an updated version of<br>
<br>
<a href="https://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/virtualization_quickstart.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://live.osgeo.org/en/quic<wbr>kstart/virtualization_quicksta<wbr>rt.html</a><br>

<br>
based on VirtualBox 5.1 and added some information about Windows.<br>
<br>
Since VirtualBox 5.1 is the current download and the dialogs are a<br>
little bit different from the previous versions. You will probably<br>
want to update the documentation using these images.<br>
<br>
You can download it from:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://imaptools.com:8080/dl/doc-for-vbox-5.1.zip" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://imaptools.com:8080/dl/d<wbr>oc-for-vbox-5.1.zip</a><br>

<br>
You will need to move the images into your folder and update the<br>
links to reflect the changes, but this should reduce the effort and<br>
help you with updating the docs.<br>
<br>
One thing that I did not mention, is the fact that if a user<br>
generates a 32-bit VM then they can NOT use the OSGeoLive vmdk as<br>
that is a 64-bit vmdk. It is possible to build a 32-bit VM based on<br>
the 32-bit ISO image, but it is a little bit fiddly to get it<br>
running, but that might just be my lack of knowledge on these things.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I just tried to install OSGeo Live 10.5 on Windows<br>
using VirtualBox 5.1 and ran into a bunch of<br>
problems. I will allow for that fact that this is my<br>
first attempt to do this, but want to document the<br>
issues.<br>
<br>
1. Follow the link to get VirtualBox and installed<br>
it on Windows 10 64-bit machine.<br>
<br>
2. tried to install vmdk following the instruction,<br>
I could not get this to work. Issues are:<br>
* VirtualBox Dialogs are different on 5.1, but could<br>
basically follow the intent.<br>
* when I tried to start the VM it launches and I get<br>
black screen with _ cursor and nothing more. Powered<br>
off VM, restarted it, same result. Could not find a<br>
work-a-round to this issue<br>
<br>
3. Created a new VM using the 32-bit iso. For some<br>
reason, VirtualBox would not allow me to create<br>
64-bit VM, so its a good thing you supplied a 32-bit<br>
iso also.<br>
<br>
You'll find the answer to the 32bit-only problem here:<br>
<a href="https://superuser.com/questions/866962/why-does-virtualbox-only-have-32-bit-option-no-64-bit-option-on-windows-7" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://superuser.com/question<wbr>s/866962/why-does-virtualbox-<wbr>only-have-32-bit-option-no-64-<wbr>bit-option-on-windows-7</a><br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Here is how to get into your Windows 10 BOIS if anyone cares:<br>
<a href="https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/access-bios-windows-10" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.laptopmag.com/arti<wbr>cles/access-bios-windows-10</a><br>
<<a href="https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/access-bios-windows-10" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.laptopmag.com/art<wbr>icles/access-bios-windows-10</a>><br>
<br>
And here is a good explanation from VirtualBox<br>
<a href="https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62339" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://forums.virtualbox.org/<wbr>viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62339</a><br>
<<a href="https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62339" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://forums.virtualbox.org<wbr>/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62339</a>><br>
<br>
After finding this and enabling VT-x I was able to create a<br>
64-bit VM and use the vmdk with that without any problems.<br>
Click the Run button brings me right into OSGeo Live.<br>
<br>
* Launching this VM, fails with No boot disk error.<br>
* Launching this VM and quickly hiting F12 key,<br>
brings up boot options and selecting "c" to boot<br>
from CD-ROM, boots into Linux installation Menu<br>
<br>
Are you trying from the ISO file, or a CD? Maybe you did<br>
not add the CDROM in the VM settings? Under<br>
Storage->ContollerIDE be sure that the machine's CDROM<br>
drive is selected: Use the "CD icon" to browse and<br>
select your CDROM drive. Then check the "Live CD/DVD"<br>
checkbox, and try to boot.<br>
<br>
<br>
In this case I build the VM from the ISO not the CD-ROM.<br>
<br>
* If you select "Try Linux without installing" from<br>
the menu, it brings up OSGeo Live, but no where are<br>
these steps documented and I tried menu options<br>
before discovering this.<br>
<br>
4. Once in OSGeo Live, I could not access my shared<br>
folder. It took me some time to work around this but<br>
eventually this worked:<br>
<br>
sudo umount /media/sf_SharedFolder<br>
sudo chmod 777 /media/sf_SharedFolder<br>
sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,nodev,uid=0,gid=120 SharedFolder /media/sf_SharedFolder<br>
<br>
<br>
And doing sudo adduser user vboxsf<br>
and logout and back in fixed the shared folder issue.<br>
<br>
So making progress, thanks all. I'll be working with Brian<br>
and Vicky to provide feedback and do testing.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
-Steve<br>
<br>
I noticed the rc.local adds vboxsf group to user,<br>
but it does not appear in the user account:<br>
<br>
user@osgeolive:/media/sf_Share<wbr>dFolder$ id<br>
uid=999(user) gid=999(user)<br>
groups=999(user),4(adm),20(dia<wbr>lout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),29(<wbr>audio),30(dip),33(www-data),<wbr>46(plugdev),50(staff),100(user<wbr>s),121(tomcat8),125(lpadmin),<wbr>126(sambashare)<br>
<br>
<br>
I'll be using OSQeo Live at FOSS4G Boston to present<br>
the pgRouting Workshop.<br>
