Hi Pedro: Just for the record, what version of Debian? Currently Jessie = stable (a largely frozen release from two years ago), Stretch = testing (a rolling release not as stable as stable), and Sid = unstable (another rolling release not as stable as testing). Stretch has turned or will turn soon into a frozen distribution similar to Jessie but two years more modern and be designated stable likely sometime in 2017. Jessie will be redesignated as oldstable at that Debian release epoch, and Sid is always going to be unstable. :-) So if you installed Jessie, I would be officially amazed you cannot replicate my good results there. But if Stretch or Sid, then those are quite different, and all bets are off. > it seems that something on your debian is preventing this error, > but you should be able to verify this by just installing a new debian (or any > linux , it seems) on VirtualBox. Half my computer memory fried itself a year or so ago so my computer (already 9 years old but with ASUS motherboard, Intel CPU's, new disks, and new power supply still doing pretty well) is a little short of memory. Thus, I don't plan to look at VirtualBox at the moment, but when (if?) one of my motherboard, CPU's, or remaining RAM die so that I really do have to replace all three, I intend to buy a huge amount of memory for the new system so I can play with VirtualBox with ease.
