virtualization

I'm considering opening up a project to create an i-phone virtual machine for android 2.0 (read motorola droid) before i do so i have some questions: Does one already exist that i just missed? Can the the Droid's Arm Cortex A8 down-clocked to 550MHz (thanks wikipedia) handle an I-Phone abstraction layer? Performance wise the best thing to do is write the app in C++, but for the health of the system, would it be better to put the iphone vm on top of the dalvik vm? Which approach would be better and why. Does one already exist that i just missed? No. Can the the Droid's Arm Cortex A8 down

I wrote this small program today and I was blown away by the results. Here is the program int main(int argc, char **argv) { int a; printf("\n\tMain is located at: %p and the variable a is located at address: %p",main,&a); return 0; } on my machine the main function is always loaded at address "0x80483d4" and the address of the variable keeps on varying How does this happen? I read in operating systems that as a part of virtualization scheme the OS keeps relocating the address of instructions. So why is it that everytime I run this program that main is loaded at the same address? thanks in

For some educational project I need to work with user-mode-linux (UML). Based on the homepage of UML, it seems that the project was stopped at 2004. However, the author of project was hired by Intel in 2004 to work on UML full-time. Is the project dead or continued by Intel (or open source community) with new name? While it does look stale, it still works as of v4.9.6. Tested with this setup: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/73203/how-to-create-rootfs-for-user-mode-linux-on-fedora-18/372207#372207 If you do: git log arch/um it shows a few hits per month, mostly maintenance to keep up

I have a strange problem with virtualization enabled ListView control. I created a very small pilot app to reproduce the issue. When I type-in something for a few textboxes in the listview and then scrolling down, after a few pages the typed-in values are repeating in the untouched textboxes below. Here is the XAML of the window: <Window x:Class="WpfApplication3.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Grid Name="mainGrid"> <ListView ItemsSource="{Binding

I was using VirtualBox on my PC( WIN 7 ) I managed to View some files in my .VDI file.. How can I open or view the contents of my .vdi file and retrieve the files from there? You can mount partitions from .vdi images using qemu-nbd : sudo apt install qemu-utils sudo modprobe nbd vdi="/path/to/your.vdi" # <<== Edit this sudo qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 "$vdi" # view partitions and select the one you want to mount. # Using parted here, but you can also use cfdisk, fdisk, etc. sudo parted /dev/nbd0 print part=nbd0p2 # <<== partition you want to mount sudo mkdir /mnt/vdi sudo mount /dev/$part /mnt/vdi

Is it possible to emulate Kinect sensor (for usage with Kinect SDK), when the Kinect itself isn't plugged? First I thought Kinect Studio does exactly what I wanted, but now it seems like Kinect Studio records data streams and can "feed" them to application, but is unable to emulate connection to the sensor. So at the moment I have a couple of .xed files recorded with Kinect Studio and I can't launch any Kinect-enabled apps without getting "Kinect sensor is not plugged in" or whatever message. Is there any way around this? I have access to Kinect, but it's not at the same place I intend to

I am currently taking an operating systems class and I need to use qemu to run a small operating system that my professor provided. I am trying to use qemu within an ubuntu 12.04 virtual machine on virtualbox on my macbook air 5.2. I know the problems I am having probably have to do with nested virtualization but the specific error I get when I try to run qemu is: Could not access the KVM kernel module: No such file or directory failed to initialize KVM: no such file or directory Back to tcg accelerator. qemu does start up the os but the window flickers quite a lot and I would like to fix the

So I've got a situation where we have a project with 10 developers. Each developer, when they come in for the day, is randomly issued a machine to use for development that day. The machine names are different, say DEV01 - DEV10. At the time that they are issued to the developers, the machines are identical, and no changes the developers make during the day are persisted on the machines (source code changes are stored in TFS, not locally). These are of course actually virtual machines, but that's not really relevant to the point at hand. The problem is that each morning, the developers run into
