Is there any possibility to hot swap a USB device like in *cough Virtualbox with non-free extensions
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
Solid State Drives are twice as fast and use 1/3-1/2 less energy. I was asking for that reason. also, I have a feeling yours is not an ssd. that's just my thought though.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
IDK if it's an SSD.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
AQEMU. done and done, it works well for me even using let's call it crappy Operating Systems... should I need to scratch that old gamer itch...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
Did you use an SSD? or a 1.4 dual core processor or faster? or combination of the two? just curious.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
virt-manager sucks, vmware = evil, virtualbox = sketchy but better then vmware... and then there's aqemu which I absolutely love. Aqemu is the easiest and best option. I only discovered this a week ago...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
Thank you. I got it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
>It does not matter much where the code is compiled. Your criticism is, the compiler is non libre software and can unknowingly to those, who do the compiling, put unwanted software into the virtualbox binary? The fact, that the compiler is non libre software does not prohibit the virtualbox binary from getting a gpl license? Using a libre software compiler, does not stop the virtualbox people from editing the compiler and introduce to those downloading the binary unwanted software in the virtualbox binary?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
I read that someone already tryed to compile with different compilers, and compile fails. Really it looks like NSA backdoor or something else to me. Good way for include gifts for the user, like Intel's ME gift.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
the question is, why the hell developers moved to use that compiler sinse 4.2 version?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
What is the reason they call it as "open" watcom?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
Thanks for the precision, and the potential malicious software threat this can implicate, reading thoroughly the Wikidia Watcom C/C++ page it is stated that libraries necessary for it to be compiled could not be released as open source.[citation needed] http://openwatcom.org/about.php https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Licensing_FAQ ftp://ftp.openwatcom.org/install/license.txt (download link)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
Is the compiling done on my computer or on the computer which compiled the debian virtual box software, you can download? If the software you can download is gpl 2 licensed, then how can there be non libre software in it?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12011 hmmm why some people says that is free and open software? I saw Watcom as MIT in github, and another Watcom v2 as proprietary licence. Very confusing.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
You can try to boot a VM on Libreboot, but it was way too slow for me on my X200.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
It's stuff like this that makes me want to avoid Debian. But the features in Debian are so alluring! I wonder if Fedora is better than Debian.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
>requires the Open Watcom compiler, which is non-free Can you elaborate? The software you download is libre software? At which step does the compiling take place? >Guest Additions are non-free too You cannot get full screen mode, if you do not want to run non libre software?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
Thank you. On the Libreboot says this: "Compatibility (without blobs) Hardware virtualization (vt-x) The T400, when run without CPU microcode updates in coreboot, currently kernel panics if running QEMU with vt-x enabled on 2 cores for the guest. With a single core enabled for the guest, the guest panics (but the host is fine). Working around this in QEMU might be possible; if not, software virtualization should work fine (it’s just slower)." So, does this mean VB would work, just be slower? What about KVM? I'm wondering because of the vt-x is not enabled normally on these machines and without the host BIOS I dont think I can enable it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
If VB isn't good, which VM program would work? This is on an old Thinkpad T400 with Libreboot and Trisquel 7.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
So my info was wrong :( Their licences are unclear.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
Ubuntu 14.04 packages will work for trisquel 7... not sure otherwise... Although, be warned... virtualbox 4.2 and above use non-free software. just warning you, they are contrib... meaning they are libre initially till they grab the non-free dependencies... pity no one is trying to fork virtualbox and make it libre...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
Sorry, I'm a little confused by what you wrote. Which version would I choose to download from their site?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Virtualbox on Libreboot w/Trisquel?
Virtualbox and his dkms packages are GPL (free software), and runs fine everything, but you can not use USB-2.0 or USB-3.0, support USBs superior to 1.1 you need to use proprietary extension packages. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing
