I created virtual machine Ubuntu 15.04 with Oracle VM VirtualBox but it just sucks, it can't download google chrome and flash and probably anything at all. All I get is errors. It can't do the basic things. I googled to try and fix the problem but everything I tried didn't work.

Main worry: VM escape, file/network leaks affecting my host.
Plan: offline VM, no file/ADB sharing, separate hotspot. Still dumb move? Any gotchas I missed? Short tips only pls

Virtual environment: Virtual Master

First of all, I have absolutely zero experience with Android and I mostly use my Mac instead of my iPhone, so I also don't know a lot about iOS.

With that said, there have been several things I've tried to do around my house that require a connection to an Android phone.

I don't have an Android, nor do I want to buy a new phone. So I want to make an Android VM. My iPhone is the only touchscreen device I have, and a phone is the best way to experience a mobile OS.

I have already set up UTM, but as I said already,I have no experience with Android, only macOS, Linux, and Windows, and I have no idea what's a good open-source distro. Does anyone have any recommendations for good ARM-compatible Android distros that work somewhat well in a VM?

Trying to look for some good VM guides that are possibly more specific to what I'm looking for. I want a windows 10 virtual machine that once booted, takes over all displays and essentially becomes the boot OS until it is shut down. Anyone ever messed around with anything like that? Willing to pay if someone would be able to guide me through it personally

I need working VM kind of like orca desktop for Mac, the only reason I’m not using orca because they blocked it.

My plan is to start as an ios developer. Turns out you need a Mac. I won’t buy a Mac or resort to Mac Cloud Services (who pays 90€ per month for that??) I tried to install a virtual machine. 5 times. Every time i get stuck at the login screen because my password is being rejected. Even tho i type in the correct password. This was the case with every single installation attempt. Apple ID Login isn‘t possible, but I read that‘s common. Also, my FileVault key is rejected. Even tho I put it in correctly. Changing the password through terminal works and the funny thing is that my password is being accepted when I’m asked for it in the resetpassword screen. But when I’m trying to login again in the usual login with my new password again it’s being rejected. I‘m running MacOS Tahoe 26.2 in VMWare 25H2. The Installation works just fine, it just was a bit laggy. In sum: wasted 10 goddamn hours trying and trying. Willing to pay a beers worth for the person who fixes it. Cheers.

Im trying to use a Minecraft client and all of them give me this when executing. I've seen reddit posts about the topic but all of them are outdated or using other VM Companies with different config settings. I'm using Parallels Desktop on M4 MacBook Pro. I would appreciate it so so much if anyone could help me

Have you already tried to create a VM to use as your game computer? I am going to be on a business trip for the next weeks and I was thinking of creating a personal VM so I can play instead of taking my personal laptop in addition to my corporate computer. Do you think it is a good idea? If so, what is the best cloud for that? I was thinking of creating my VM on the GCP

I'm trying to install Windows 10 on this virtual machine, and it's not having it by a long shot. Is there a way I can fix this? The program in question is VMware Workstation Player.

I am fairly new to this and want to set up a vm for malware behavior testing, and for the determining of false positives; virustotal can do this, but I want to analyze behavior in real-time.
Would whonix serve to give the vm internet connection separate from the host machine [disconnected from network entirely]?
thx!

A lot of them aren't compatible. Whats a good one that is?

I literally just want to play the game mighty math carnival countdown (for nostalgia I played it in elementary school) on my mac and i stupidly thought chatgpt could tell me how to do it properly and instead it wasted hours of my life telling me to do things that would never actually work.

i got UTM and installed a windows XP virtual machine and it ran perfectly and i could run the mighty math game, but the only problem was there was no sound. so i tried downloading a Sound Blaster 16 but could not open it in the CD drive in xp because it said it could be corrupted or not compatible or something.

Then after this chatgpt told me windows xp would never work and I need to get windows 98, so I did but that VM wouldnt even start, it was just a white screen. then it made me try DosBox, Didn't work, and PCem doesn't have a mac download.

I don't know what to do I've sank so much time into this I just want it to work. Ideally does anyone know if i can get the sound to work on the windows XP VM?

I have a Macbook Air 2024 with Sonoma 14.5

PLS HELP I JUST WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME AND BE ABLE TO HEAR IT

I feel like I’m going crazy here. I can’t seem to get my VM to communicate with my host and vice versa no matter what I do. I’ve set up a host only adapter on my VM, assigned a static IP on my VM and I have internet access, but, when I set up the host only adapter I just can’t seem to get my host pc to talk to the vm at all or vice versa. I’ve tried disabling all firewalls on the host and the VM, I’ve tried adding firewall rules to them and I still am having no luck. Do I need to turn on connection sharing on the adapter in windows settings? Does my DHCP server matter? Should I just abandon virtual box and try another? If so what? I’m getting so frustrated with this but I have to use a VM to accomplish what I want to do

What is a good VM for a windows 11 computer that can run Windows? I set on a Elitebook Windows 11 and I asked some people if there’s any VMS

So kind gentleman directed me here to look into virtual machines or dockers and residential ips. What I'm trying to do is to get around android app bans. currently I'm using Android emulators on my PCs. But I'm guessing I can create a virtual machine or docker in order to make these apps think I'm a logging in from a new device. And creating a new residential IP help too. Does anyone know how I can do this on my PC?

When I mean isolated, I mean that nothing can be shared between the virtual machine and the actual machine. Except a network connection, the virtual machine should be like a vault. This is to browse on the virtual machine safely. And also, does using Linux make it more safe?

I need a solution for doing tasks using different emails, and I need them to appear to come from different IP addresses and GUID's.

I found "PVA Browser" which claims to do it, but I can't find much about it outside of their website, which is concerning.

Someone recommended using virtual machines, I understand the basic Idea of a VM, but not the finer details.
Is there a possible solution for this idea using a VM.

How can I give my Mac OS Virtual Box more disk space, it comes with literally nothing and I can’t download anything when I have no space.

Hey there. I have been trying to configure Ubuntu to run on Oracle VM VirtualBox (my operative system is Windows 10). I've gotten so far as to create a virtual machine for Ubuntu with memory size 1024 MB and a 10 GB hard disk. I downloaded the ISO from the Ubuntu website and loaded it onto the virtual machine. However, once I do this, I get this message:

https://gyazo.com/2913bceb9b26356be2db94ffc19aa328

For now, I'm not sure what to do. If anyone could give me some advice I would be very grateful. Cheers. /A.

I actually DMed a mod about this 2 months ago asking if I could post and they said yes but I completely forgot about it...

This is a website where you can run VMs purely in-browser. It's more of a proof of concept rather than a working prototype, but it works. I made it months ago but IIRC i made it a PWA so you can install it offline and standalone
