My audio VM works generally well (even great) except for one problem: #Ableton Live doesn't see the content in #VirtualBox shared folders.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this? Note that the guest OS (win) can access normally everything in the shared folders, and it's only Live that doesn't (without errors or anything).
Not going to lie, I wouldn't be unhappy to see an #opensource arms race of sorts in the commercial #Linux space. So far, #SUSE is the only one that has obviously done anything actionable, to my knowledge, around the rhetoric. If #Oracle wants to step up and fix CDDL/GPL compatibility or opensource the PUEL parts of #VirtualBox, now would be a great time to step up to the plate and take a swing.
Hate on #Oracle#VirtualBox all you want, but when it comes to installing old school versions of Windows server, it really can't be beat. In VMWare, if I want to install Windows Server 2003, I'd either need sighted assistance or a lot of help from OCR, because not only is the Windows audio service disabled, but VMWare doesn't include the drivers needed for audio to work anyway, even if you enabled the service. You'd need to install not only VMWare Tools, but you'd have to find the audio driver that VMWare uses as well. With VirtualBox, however, Shift + F10, sc config AudioSrv start= auto, net start AudioSrv, and boom! Audio works! Now you can enable Narrator and breeze through the installation.

It's a 1440kB 3,5" #Floppy image and should work just fine in #VirtualBox / #QEMU / #KVM / #vmware but it's stuck after loading #Linux (bzImage) and the remaining files (rootfs.cpio.xz)...
#VirtualBox 7.0.18 is out now with more fixes to prevent UBSAN warnings and a fix for an issue with incorrectly displayed time stamps within mounted shared folder for #Linux Guest Additions, as well as a fix an issue that caused a host system crash when the VM used a bridged or host-only network adapter.

My further experiments with KVM have been great. VM Performance, especially Windows VMs, seems way better than VirtualBox. There are some UX quirks with setting up shared folders in general. I still haven't gotten them working on Windows VMs. But with half my VMs converted and all working concurrently I think I may be switching over in production soon. #programming#VirtualBox#KVM
