Hello,
I am a Masters student at NU-FAST, Karachi, Pakistan.
I have been trying to run the OpenFlow Tutorial for Mininet 2.0 for
over a week now. I am stuck on the startup, and have googled around
but have not been able to find a solution.
The tutorial never discusses any what-if issue, so when I configure
the virtual box, load the proper image, configure the host-only
adaptor, the tutorial just mentions that start and enter username and
password.
Now, I have run this on Windows 7 and Windows XP platforms, all
requirements fullfilled, and on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, all requirements
fullfilled. I start the VM, and it gives four options, so I select the
top-most, being Ubuntu. After this the VM just gives a cursor, and
thats it. I have waitied for it to ask for a username/password for
hours, but to no avail.
So I am stuck at this stage, and nothing can be done further from my
side without your assistance.
My system configuration is an Intel Centrino, 1.5 GHz, 1 Gb RAM, and
more than 20 GB of free HD space. I have tried the same on my Intel
Atom system with the same processing power and specifications.
Ali,
It seems that you have a couple of major problems:
1) The processors you listed may not provide hardware support for
virtualization. To check the CPU capabilities see:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/linux-tip-how-to-tell-if-your-processor-supports-vt/
2) You can't run a 64-bit VM (Mininet 2.0) on 32-bit Hardware/OS.
See: https://github.com/mininet/mininet/wiki/FAQ#wiki-virtualbox-error
I believe you best choice it to install Mininet 2.0 natively on a Ubuntu
12.04 32-bit
edition.
Regards,
jpo
