`movevm` command is missing in VBoxManage - virtual-machine

I am trying to move a VM to another directory and according to the following link we can use VBoxManage movevm command for this purpose:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E97728_01/F12470/html/move-vm.html
However, VBoxManage on my machine does not have this command! Unfortunately, I could not find any link online discussing this problem. Do you have any opinion what the problem can be?
P.S. The version of my VBoxManage is version 5.2

This question was answered in the VirtualBox forum topic you created here:

It would appear that "VBoxManage
movevm" is a recent addition to VirtualBox mostly likely only
available in 6.0.x versions. There has, for a long time, been a
Tutorial: Moving a VM which may help if you can't upgrade to the
latest VirtualBox version.

How to prevent NVIDIA from automatically upgrading the driver on Ubuntu?

I was training models last night on my Ubuntu workstation, and then woke up this morning and saw this message:
Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch
Apparently the NVIDIA system driver automatically updated itself, and now I need to reboot the machine to use my GPUs... How do I prevent automatic updates from NVIDIA?
I think I have had the same issue. It is because of so-called unattended upgrades on Ubuntu.
Solution 1: check the changed packages and revert the updates
Check the apt history logs
less /var/log/apt/history.log
Then you can see what packages have changed. Use apt or aptitude to revert the changes.
Solution 2: disable unattended upgrades
Use this guide to disable unattended upgrades. Please consider if this solution works for you as you have to install security updates manually after this change.
Solution 3: hold specific packages
Use this guide on how to hold certain packages. Read the apt history as mentioned above to determine which packages you have to put on hold. Probably CUDA related packages such as nvidia-cuda-toolkit. Hard to say since some information is missing from your post. You can see all nvidia related packages like this
dpkg -l *nvidia*
I hope at least one of my solutions works for you :)
P.S. you have to change the title. NVIDIA isn't upgrading anything on your system by itself. Ubuntu is the one causing your trouble ;)

Lumify: Not Launching Local Instance on Vagrant

Followed the instructions to run a local instance of lumify using Vagrant.
Vagrant up demo, fails as the https://bits.lumify.io/yum/repodata/repomd.xml is down.
The try site is down as https://try.lumify.io/ as well.
Need pointers if any yum repo can be used for this.
I see that there are few dependencies related to opencv etc and i could not find them all in 1 place.
Any inputs on this would be greatly appreciated
I'm pretty sure active development of Lumify's open source version ended in 2015. Have you tried the open source version of Visallo? There's also an enterprise edition if you need additional capabilities or greater scalability.

How to install Mahout on Windows 8.1?

My goal is to build up a recommendation system and after going through many articles, I came across Mahout as a simple, yet effective way to go on. I already have XAMPP installed on my system.
How can I install Mahout? I need the complete instructions since I have neither worked with cygwin before, nor have I worked with Hadoop, and everywhere I see, I see these two mentioned very frequently. I first need to install it on my localhost before going on installing it on the server.
Here is a detailed instructions page to install Apache Mahout with Hadoop in windows. Its bit tedious, but can be done anyway.

Switch Vagrant to use Parallels instead of VirtualBox

Is it possible to use Parallels instead of (insane slow) VirtualBox in Vagrant?
Maybe this will help you (fresh and new)
https://github.com/yshahin/vagrant-parallels
While it's not Parallels (which you may have already paid for), there is a plugin for using VMWare Fusion:
http://www.vagrantup.com/vmware
The plugin is not free, so you'll need to buy licenses for both the plugin and Fusion.
I get a kernel panic in my VM a few times a week. According to Mitchell, VirtualBox has had kernel panic issues on Macs for years that have never been well resolved, and swapping to Fusion is the best alternative.
Finally there is an official Vagrant Provider from and for Parallels! Unfortunately it's not mentioned on www.vagrantup.com.
See Paralles' Vagrant Documentation and the Parallels GitHub page of the Vagrant provider project. For further questions about the provider there is a dedicated official forum.
As of now there is just one limitation: "The Parallels provider supports all basic Vagrant features, except the next: "Forwarded ports" configuration is not available yet." (taken from the readme on GitHub)
Thank you, AgentK, for pointing out that that "Forwarded ports" are available as of Parallels 10 for Mac.
There was a large commit a few month ago, that merged the machine-abstraction branch:
https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/commit/391dc392675c73518ebf04252d824fe916e8860b
which was even discussed a bit on Hacker News.
This branch brings in the "machine abstraction" code. This is a major
milestone in the development of Vagrant as it abstracts all of the
VirtualBox-specific code out into a plugin.
The gotcha:
White it is technically possible now to write plugins for other
providers, there is still major work to be done to make this feasible.
And as of now, the only provider in master is virtualbox:
https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/tree/master/plugins/providers
You can use Parallels with Vagrant. Here's a line by line set of instructions to do so (assumes you have Parallels and Vagrant installed).
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-parallels
$ mkdir some-project/ && cd some-project
$ vagrant init parallels/ubuntu-14.04
$ vagrant up --provider parallels
Note, you only have to install vagrant-parallels once. Also note, you only have to pass in --provider parallels the first time you up, after that it will automatically use the parallels provider.
found this thread in google along with official Parallels-Vagrant integration: https://github.com/Parallels/vagrant-parallels

What's the exact purpose of Yii Appliance?

It's introduction is here:
http://www.yiiframework.com/demos/
But what's that virtual server image for ?
A simple way to have a preconfigured server environment with the software in question already installed, configured, and ready to run.
I agree with Dav, also, it is not updated very often (If I'm not bad, the included Yii version is 1.0.2 and current is 1.1.2, about 1 year old). Y recommend you to download the last stable version and try with it with your own web server it can be a local server). If you have Windows OS I recommend WAMP (one of the easiest to install) or ZWAMP (I think this is the most updated one, http://zwamp.sourceforge.net/), if you are using Linux or *BSD you have more and easy-to-install alternatives.
