Virtualbox Download =LINK= Directory

By default, each virtual machine has a directory on your host computer where all the files of that machine are stored: the XML settings file, with a .vbox file extension, and its disk images. This is called the machine folder.

By default, this machine folder is located in a common folder called VirtualBox VMs, which Oracle VM VirtualBox creates in the current system user's home directory. The location of this home directory depends on the conventions of the host operating system, as follows:

Oracle VM VirtualBox creates this configuration directory automatically, if necessary. You can specify an alternate configuration directory by either setting the VBOX_USER_HOME environment variable, or on Linux or Oracle Solaris by using the standard XDG_CONFIG_HOME variable. Since the global VirtualBox.xml settings file points to all other configuration files, this enables switching between several Oracle VM VirtualBox configurations.

In this configuration directory, Oracle VM VirtualBox stores its global settings file, an XML file called VirtualBox.xml. This file includes global configuration options and a list of registered virtual machines with pointers to their XML settings files.

In such cases, Oracle VM VirtualBox backs up the old settings file in the virtual machine's configuration directory. If you need to go back to the earlier version of Oracle VM VirtualBox, then you will need to manually copy these backup files back.

Therefore, I install all my (non-critical) apps on my large G:\ drive. My VirtualBox installation is on G:\, as well as the hard disks. However, I found that the snapshots directory still defaults to C:\Users\David\.VirtualBox\....

Using the CLI makes it much easier to script/automate if you have a large number of users needing to move the VMs path out of their home directory to avoid huge files getting automatically backed up. The "best" place for the VMs depends a little bit on your system, but /usr/local/ can be a good place to create a new folder on macOS or Linux.

If I have a Linux host machine, I know I can add the shared folder to be "/" directory which allow me to access the Linux host machine from the root directory in the virtual machine. Is there a way to access the root directory on a Windows machine (The directory were you can access the C, D, E drive) from the virtual machine using a shared folder and if so what is the directory named for "This PC"?

I had the same problem! The error is happening because you installed virtualbox before installing the kernel headers. Even though your virtualbox installation is fine, the kernel modules were not built.

Thanks Kendal.

I opened the question here instead of on GitHub issues, because I thought I was doing something wrong.

Following your analysis, should virtualbox be the right forum for this discussion?

My impression would be that the newer version of virtualbox may have new API options for completely cleaning the directory (including that log), and that vagrant is not using it for the destroy option.

But I still notice in VBdocs "To change the mount directory to something other than /media, you can set the guest property /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/SharedFolders/MountDir.". Where is this option? I basically want shared folders in /home (but I may - and did - create a symlink, of course).

You have to install the guest additions in the virtualbox install on the host. Then after you install the guest OS, there will be a CD available from which you install the guest additions into the guest OS. Then you have to actually mount the share (after defining the share in virtualbox install on the host).

I am a bit lost, I have a fresh install Arch on my laptop. I installed VirtualBox and I set up 1 shared folder. Then I created a guest system, still Arch Linux. It is all good until I try to use Midnight Commander and try to navigate to the shared folder on guest system. From Thunar or console it works. I can navigate inside the shared folder, make files, changes files, delete, create directories everything. But Midnight Commander keeps saying "cannot read directory contents". Then it enters the folder but it thinks it is empty. If I explicitly hit a ctrl+r and then change the folder it works.

I tried to use vboxservice or disable it and manually mount. I played with the switches in VirtualBox shared folder. I even reinstalled the whole guest. I downgraded mc to 4.8.23-1, downgraded virtualbox-guest-utils to 6.0.14-1. But it is the same. I tried chmod -R 777 /media, chown -R myusername:vboxsf /media but for some reason it is the same.

And now doing similar things in mc as above, I needed to hit ctrl+r BUT when I hit ctrl+r and I entered a directory and then back 1 level and enter again... it worked for a few seconds sometimes then it showed up the "Cannot read directory contents" again. If I did the same it behaved similarly but the time and the number of times I could navigate back and forth w/o ctrl+r was random, sometimes close to 0 sometimes a few seconds.

But how does one go about creating a domain or domain controller? Fortunately, you don't have to buy a physical server and a bunch of computers running Windows in order to learn the ins and outs of directory management nowadays. All you have to do is use virtualization!

After a hefty 3 seconds of deliberation, I added "Biggie Smalls" to the names.txt file and saved it. All that was really left to do was navigate to the script directory and run the script itself, which I did. Many, many lines of output later, I had to verify that the users had actually been created, which was as easy as opening up my Active Directory and clicking on the "USERS" folder:

Within VirtualBox, navigate to Settings > Shared Folders. Choose a directory path on the host machine, give the directory a name and choose applicable options (such as Auto Mount). For this example, I used the name 'share'.

Now establish an SSH session to your guest. Run the following command (see this article) to mount the shared directory to the local directory ~/host on the guest. You can now access and transfer files from guest to host and vice versa.

In my case, after updating from F36 to F37 the system finished with a mix of virtualbox packages and versions coming from different types of prior installations.

I realized that the system kept an Oracle repository in /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualbox.repo from a previous installation attempt I tried in the past, so I decided to ignore it and only use the packages from @rpmfusion-free repository (not the testing one).

I bought a bigger disk with the aim of installing virtual machines. I installed the vbox plugin, but I can't add shared directory from the system partition (sde1) when I would like to add VM directory.

Is it possible if I use the original OMV installer (openmediavault_3.0.94-amd64.iso) for the installation? If the answer is yes, how could I solve this? Which permissions should I set for the VM directory?

VirtualBox stores all the virtual machine files in a folder named VirtualBox VMs. The folder, by default, is within the user's home directory. It contains all the virtual machine's configuration files and the associated virtual disks.

I have a tiny problem. I want to avoid VirtualBox from creating /home/$USER/.VirtualBox directory and create another directory like /home/$USER/DIR instead to put the log files etc there. I tried to export $VBOX_USER_HOME variable in my .bashrc so it is set in my shell and also used the vboxmanage setproperty machinefolder /home/amin/DIR command but VirtualBox still creates .VirtualBox directory under /home/$USER. Is there any other way to achive this or am I doing something wrong here?

A lot of the space was used in the home directory (in my case this was different versions of Android software development kit) I added a second virtual drive and migrated the home partition over to the new drive, similar to how I've done it with real physical disks on servers before.

In this case it's at /dev/sdb1 and so we need to make sure we don't do anything to drive sdb as that's our main operating system and current home directory. This may be different on your computer - MAKE SURE YOU CHECK! e24fc04721
