I have a Kubuntu 20.04.1 LTS as my Host OS, and I have a Fedora installed as guest using Virt-Manager.
Is it possible to use the built-in Webcam and Microphone of my laptop in the Guest-OS using Virt-Manager? If yes, then how?
I'm not an expert of Ubuntu but I'm learning it while using it for everyday tasks. my experience has been good so far. just that I face a few glitches sometimes.
I have this weird problem from the very beginning, usually I restart but that's not the solution because often the processes are running and I just simply can't kill them like that.
I use VMware to run Ubuntu 19.04. on Windows Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination is very common to Lock and Unlock the screen and system level options. Sometimes accidentally I press them and I get this
I don't know if that's VMWare or LINUX itself but then nothing works and I have to shutdown the guest and restart it.
My questions are:
What exactly is this blank screen with cursor blinking? Is it that OS has crashed or the GUI Wayland has shut down? Or is it some pause state?
What should I do in this case that I can preserve my work or better yet resume it?
P.S: Just found out that it's not Ctrl + Alt + Del. The way my laptop keyboard is, I confirmed I press Ctrl + Alt + F12. I found What does "Ctrl + Alt + F12" do? but nothing works, and after like few minutes (5+ or more) the virtual machine restarts.
I will soon be receiving a "new" (refurbished) notebook. It comes with Windows 10 Pro. I plan to run Ubuntu, but instead of throwing Windows away, I wonder if I might be able to install it as a guest system in VirtualBox. The problem, as I see it, is obtaining an .iso for the Windows installation.
How can I copy the Windows installation/recovery file/partition (whatever the heck it is!) that comes with the new computer, so I can install it as a guest?
In an attempt to avoid the gnome desktop completely, I installed Ubuntu from the minimal installer and installed Unity after with the command sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop. This in VirtualBox.
For some reason nothing seems to move smoothly. There is a red marking where normally the box would just move (as in picture) and when switching workplace etc. It just jumps directly.
So does anyone know why this might be? Is there something I need to install or configure or is it because of the VM?
I have enabled the 3D acceleration on the VM. Here are the other settings of VM:
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 as a VirtualBox guest on a Windows 10 host machine, I've installed and re-installed guest additions by following the instruction on this page. The drivers appear to be configured fine.
