VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware, targeted at server, desktop and embedded use.For a thorough introduction to virtualization and VirtualBox. A Radeon RX 580 graphics card was used on the Ubuntu 18.10 host where this VirtualBox 6.0 testing was taking place. Keeping in mind only 128MB of vRAM and the SVGA II Gallium3D driver only exposing OpenGL 2.1 under VirtualBox 6.0, the selection of OpenGL tests was very limited.
Installation instructions
Download and run Portable-VirtualBox_v5.1.22-Starter_v6.4.10-Win_all.exe.
Choose a folder to extract to.
Go to the folder and run Portable-VirtualBox.exe. You'll see a window like the one below:
If you have already downloaded the installer for VirtualBox from www.virtualbox.org click search and navigate to the file. If not, click 'Download The Installation Files of VirtualBox.' Portable-VirtualBox will show you the download's progress.
Once the installer is download, check the boxes that are appropriate and click OK. Portable-VirtualBox will extract the files it needs from the VirtualBox installer, and restart itself afterward if you select the last checkbox.
29 Jun 2012 VirtualBox for Mac OS X (Intel) v4.1.18. 23 May 2012 VirtualBox for Mac OS X (Intel) v4.1.16. 02 May 2012 VirtualBox. 02 Apr 2012 VirtualBox for Mac OS X (Intel) v4.1.12. 13 Mar 2012 VirtualBox for Mac OS X (Intel) v4.1.10. 22 Dec 2011 VirtualBox for Mac OS X (Intel) v4.1.8. 05 Nov 2011 VirtualBox for Mac OS X (Intel) v4.1.6.
Please make it clear, on the web-site and in the documentation, that VirtualBox v4.3.18 and v4.3.20 do not work on Windows when custom themes are in place. How could anybody have known that this can be a problem? Please add an option to allow VirtualBox to.
Optional configuration
Portable-VirtualBox makes default settings automatically. You can modify them by pressing CTRL-5 or opening the tray menu while Portable-VirtualBox is running. Either action will bring up the configuration GUI below. The Hokey-Settings tab is shown open in the image below:
Features
Splash screen to start and end
Configurable Home Directory
Launch the VirtualBox GUI or directly launch a VM
Configure the hotkeys for managing your virtual machine
Configure USB and network support
Choose language for GUI
Saves settings in editable *.ini-files
Can automatically check for VirtualBox updates
All absolute paths in the VirtualBox.xml are replaced automatically by relative paths
Checks to make sure VirtualBox files exist
Install files signature
All install files after launcher version 6.4.10 is digitally signed. Signer is “Open Source Developer, Runar Buvik”, certificate is issued by Certum Level III CA. This is temporarily disabled until a new certificate arrives in the mail.
Note
VirtualBox needs several kernel drivers installed and needs to start several services: if the drivers and services are not already installed you'll need administrator rights to run Portable-VirtualBox.
When Portable-VirtualBox starts, it checks to see if the drivers are installed. If they are not it will install them before running VirtualBox and will remove them afterward. Similarly, Portable-VirtualBox checks to see if the services are running. If not, it will start them and then stop them when it exits.
If you want to save space you can remove the language files for other languages than your own. That can save you nearly 10 MB. They are in the nls directory.
You can also delete the documentation saving nearly 5 MB. You will find it in the doc directory.
When the VM is running you must press the 'Host-Key' (initially configured as the right CTRL-Key) to be able to use the other Hotkeys since otherwise the VM will have the focus.
Network support
To download of Portable-VirtualBox
Unpack from Portable-VirtualBox
Start from Portable-VirtualBox
Attitudes open (Tray --> attitudes, CTRL+5) --> rider Network (Tab) --> VirtualBox with network support start --> memory (save)
Terminate from Portable-VirtualBox
Start from Portable-VirtualBox
Driver installation agree
Wait
Selection of a VM and the network map to host interfaces stop
None of the files that come from VirtualBox are modified or otherwise changed.
Portable-VirtualBox downloads the VirtualBox installer which contains all of the VirtualBox files and drivers. Portable-VirtualBox unpacks the files and stores them in subdirectories . Portable-Virtualbox can also compress them in order to save space.
Continuation of https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64111 for VirtualBox version 4.3.20. NOTE 12th Dec: if you have a Windows 7 host that started failing in the last few days then this is most like due to buggy Windows update KB3004394. Microsoft have released a fix here. Do not post about your problem until you have tried their fix. While this Windows bug does trip over the VirtualBox hardening feature, it is not caused by it, and therefore is not a problem that should be discussed in this topic.
This topic is specifically for Windows users that may still have issues seen in version 4.3.20 caused by security being strengthened.
If you want to be taken seriously you need to post a few items as attachments (compressed is preferred)
1) Host OS and version 2) VBoxStartup.log (zipped) 3) Mention any host anti-virus, firewalls, protection software, and debugging programs etc which might be relevant.
Virtualbox V4 1 18 Inch
As in the previous (4.3.14, 4.3.16, 4.3.18) discussions, the purpose of this topic is to gather diagnostic data needed to solve the hardening issues, and nothing else. Wibble posts, opinion posts, and posts that don't include necessary diagnostics will most likely be deleted. If a test build is created then you'll be expected to have tried it before you post. Please be explicit about errors. Don't say 'same as xxxxx'. See list above for what's required.
Test builds can be found here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds ---- Original message by MikeDiack. I thought we'd best create this, as people are posting 4.3.20 problems at the end of the 4.3.18 thread..

Please post entries here
Virtualbox V4 1 180
Early signs are that: Comodo has problems with the 4.3.20 build 96996 build. Symantec Endpoint Protection has problems with the 4.3.20 build 96996 build. It sounds like Avast is working.
