Re: error in installing guest addition

Nothing changed. It is stated that for older version of VB, i should edit xorg.conf.
As I said, I use lubuntu which use lxdm. There is no xorg.conf and I don't know how much important it is for VB 4.0.8
As far as I remember, I didn't have such problem with lubuntu 10.10.

any comment?

Re: resizing a vdi file

Are you sure?
As I said, I have created a 20GB vdi file (which represent a hard disk and not partition) and I now want to increase that to 80GB. Gparted doesn't do that. Because it says you can increase your partition ( / for example) up to 20GB.

Re: virtualization performance chart

ok, how about cpu models then? For example intel core-i5, i7 vs. AMD phenom? Is there any big gap between them?

Re: Two questions regarding vdi file

I have converted vdi to iso with this command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage clonehd file.vdi newfile.iso --format RAW
But I am not able to mount the iso image with "mount -o loop newfile.iso /mnt".
What should I do?
