I’ve just found out about two variations on virtualisation. How Splitting A Computer Into Multiple Realities Can Protect You From Hackers | WIRED. ![]() the second is my Docker.io build LXC, which I rebuild everytime I compile (and I now have that tied into Jenkins, so I might put up regular builds somehow), and the final one is a VirtualBox virtual machine that runs Windows 7 so I don’t have to dual boot. Right now I run three different containers - one is my main Ubuntu Studio, which is not a container, but my core OS. LXC/Linux Containers for example, don’t have as much overhead as a VirtualBox or VMWare virtual machine and can run almost, if not just as fast as a native installation (I’m using LXC for my Docker.io build script), but conceptually, if you use a container, and it is infected with malware, you can drop and rebuild the container, or roll back to a snapshot much more easily than reimaging your machine. Security is not always the main reason, but considering the details in this article, it is a valid point. It is simple enough to setup a container in your machine. All terms and technologies used for various reasons. In the meantime, I’m going to see if I can compile a later version of the kernel to see if I can somehow get VirtualBox working better. I guess I will have to wait until that is fixed before using that. Better find out what’s the deal with that…ĮDIT2: Found out that my Pixelbook model doesn’t have working sound drivers on GalliumOS. Maybe that will result in a different outcome.Įventually, I restored back to my original Ubuntu installation so I can retry again tomorrow.ĮDIT: Retried again the next day, and found out the sound wasn’t working, even on the live disk. There is always the option of installing VirtualBox 6.0 from the Ubuntu repositories rather than the Oracle repositories, which uses a different installation setup. I had to revert back to the image just after the file copy. However, I soon found out that VirtualBox 6.1 seems to crash the mouse driver on reboot and the mouse pointer no longer moves and Gallium doesn’t even seem to see a pointer device when you check the mouse and touchpad option. ![]() ![]() I prepared a semi-automated script to install apps that I had installed on my Ubuntu, which included things like virt-manager, virtualbox, google-chrome and the like. I imaged it, then made a file backup of my home directory, before installing the OS, overwriting my Ubuntu, then restoring the home directory backup into the newly installed OS and then chowning the directory to me.Īs a habit, I then imaged the laptop at this state. Spent a big chunk of today preparing for, and attempting to upgrade my Pixelbook to Gallium OS.
