question on virtualbox and ubuntu from a new user
Posted: Sun Sep 13, 2009 2:57 am
Hi there,
I recently came across Amahi while looking for an easy to use, but fully
featured alternative to a NAS, for use on my home network. I instantly liked
the idea behind your product when I saw it, and although I've never dealt
with Fedora before, I thought, 'What the hell! It can't be that hard!'.
But lo, when I put the installation DVD (about four different versions in
the end) into my drive, I got nothing but text! Seems that NVidia, or
atleast my motherboard (ASRock N68PV-GS) isn't too friendly with Fedora 10
on boot, and I wasn't able to set it up after installation, either.
So I put plain old Ubuntu back on, with the idea of running it as a virtual
machine, through Virtualbox. Which worked out rather well, even on my weedy
system. Except that I can't get to the internet on the HDA system. I've
turned off DHCP on the router and whatnot, but that only stopped internet
access on the host OS. I only really dabble in these sorts of things, so is
there something really obvious I'm missing? Perhaps the network setting for
the client? Further IP tweaking? I would really appreciate some help!
And also, what sort of timeframe do you have for Amahi on Ubuntu? It would
make my life a whole lot easier
