Just for fun, I tried installing VirtualBox on an Ubuntu 9.04 VM. It
seemed to work, right up to when I tried to start it :-) At that point
it hung. After several minutes I decided it had no intentions of
returning to life and stopped it.

Before I spend anymore time on it, is it silly to expect VirtualBox to
run on a VirtualBox VM? Is there a trick?

I suspect it *is* silly, but it would be so cool if it worked :-)

Regards, K.

3.0.10 r54097. This appears to be the latest version.

Do you mean that it works with the latest version?

Oh yes, it like what i still download now :-)

> Do you mean that it works with the latest version?

I don't know. But I think the bug came from the older version of
VirtualBox. I have tried 3.0.6 version, so far so good never make my
notebook hang like 2.x.x version.

I'm sorry if it not helping you.

Just to be clear: You mean that on your notebook you have a VirtualBox
VM running *inside* a VirtualBox VM?

Thanks, K.

I don't mean like that. VirtualBox VM is run under Ubuntu.

Ah.

What I am interested in is whether it is possible to run a VirtualBox VM
inside a VirtualBox VM.

Has anyone managed to do this?

If I read properly what you want to do is run the Sun
VirtualBox software in the virtual box of another Sun
VirtualBox. They can be the same version.

I have no idea why you want to do this.
