VirtualBox Revisited | Creating a Virtual Machine

Hang with me while we set up VirtualBox and then create a VM.

Oracle VirualBox web site: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

VirtualBox Terminal Commands:

Add youself to vboxusers group:

sudo adduser $USER vboxusers

Increase video memory for VirtualBox VM:

vboxmanage modifyvm "Name of VM" --vram 256

Compact VBox Virtual Drive:

In VM:

dd if=/dev/zero of=zero
rm zero

In Host:

vboxmanage modifyhd /path/to/thedisk.vdi --compact

Resize drive:

vboxmanage modifyhd /path/to/thedisk.vdi --resize (size in MB)
