My host is Windows 7 64bits. The guest OS is Ubuntu 14/ 64bits. I never thought it could have so many issues, so I wrote down what I did.
1. VirtualBox may not allow you to install 64bits Ubuntu. There was no 64bits OS in the drop down list. What I have to do is to enter into BIOS, enable "intel virtualization".
2. Once Ubuntu is installed, the first thing I did was right click on the desktop... what, there is no "launch terminal" session? Fortunately I remember the short cut is "Ctrl+Alt+T". The right button item for terminal definitely exist on my ubuntu 14/32bits and lower versions. Why people just removed it?
3. The screen resolution is bad. My screen is 1920*1080, while my guest gives me only 640*480, that makes it funny. What I have to do is to install a propriety driver, enable the driver $sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms
and also run x window diagnose program $sudo xdiagnose to enable all 3 options
4. USB 2.0/3.0 was disabled by default, I have to install Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack to enable USB EHCI/xHCI.
5. It is way to hard to adjust the disk size. I simply got errors
C:\Users\tiantan\VirtualBox VMs\ubuntu64>"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBo xManage.exe" modifyhd ubuntu64.vbox --resize 15000
VBoxManage.exe: error: Could not get the storage format of the medium 'C:\Users\ tiantan\VirtualBox VMs\ubuntu64\ubuntu64.vbox' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005), component M ediumWrap, interface IMedium, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "OpenMedium(Bstr(pszFilenameOrUuid).raw(), enmDe vType, enmAccessMode, fForceNewUuidOnOpen, pMedium.asOutParam())" at line 178 of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp
6. what means the "shared clipboard bidirectional"? It did never work on either way
7. the samba network sharing on my guest OS works some time, however not always. Hasn't figure out why. I have to install Filezilla FTP server on my Windows 7 as backup.Lame...
