Oh and Virtualbox ain't working on Debian 13 (Trixi) you need to install it via Debian 12 (Bookworm) Now that gave me a fright as I use Virtual Machines for work.

and once installed I had to run this "sudo rmmod kvm_amd", as "VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension" to get my virtual machine running

Weiß jemand wie man bei #LinuxMint die Fraktionale Skalierung in einer #VM passend einstellt? Ich nutze #GnomeBoxen , #VirtualBox habe ich auch.
Bei mir wird dann bei beiden VM-Programmen der Bildschirminhalt abgeschnitten. Bei Ubuntu in einer VM funktionierte die fraktionale Skalierung problemlos.

I can't get the latest #debian to boot after installing on a latest #virtualBox install on a Mac host.

Booting from CD to install goes fine, install goes fine, but booting into the installed OS crashes out. It looks like a virtualbox issue, rather then debian itself, but I'm not sure.

I'll do some more digging tomorrow and find some log files to see what's happening.

Benchmarking hashcat -b on BashCoreT from BashCoreX via SSH, both running inside VirtualBox, just because we can 😎

Yes, the numbers are irrelevant (VM overhead galore), but the stability test matters 💪

Got this error "Failed to acquire the VirtualBox COM object". Somehow that VirtualBox.xml file had become 0 bytes. Thankfully this program makes a backup in that folder, VirtualBox.xml-prev. Just rename it and the program works fine again. No need to re-install or delete configuration #virtualbox

Huh, VirtualBox seems to be perfectly cromulent on my Arch setup. Only need the most basic 3D acceleration and it does it. Not perfect, and some people on their forums were trying to bring others' hopes down, but the one bug I encountered already got fixed lol

The fact it's full Wayland now is great. VMware has no excuse at this point. Both VBox and VMware are owned by giant conglomerates.
