http://zzsethzz.blogspot.de/2013/02/install-chromium-upgrade-it-to-chrome.html
According this tutorial, I should remove all HDDs I do not want to install chromium OS to during install. I wanted to try this guide on my imac using an external SSD for chromeos. Obviously, removing the HDD isn't an option. Will the chromiumOS installer format my mac drive too, if I don't remove it?
AS the writer of that tutorial I can hopefully help you. When you install Chromium OS to begin with you can specify where to install to if you know your unix commands well enough. and then from there you can update to Chrome OS once you have your external working for you.
To find out what your hard drive is when connected, open a terminal (you may need to use a developer terminal) and use the command "fdisk -l" This will list your hard drives. for example /dev/sda1 etc...
Your install command would be "Install /Dev/sda1" but replace the dev part with whatever your hard drive was listed as. If you need further help email me at admin#xiaorishu.co.uk

WSL2 stopped working suddenly. If I do a new installation of linux distros. Then it throws the following error, when I click launch button for the linux distro from play store:
Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070003
Error: 0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified.
the wsl --help command works properly. All other wsl command hangs or throws error as shown below
like wsl -l command throws this error
The system cannot find the path specified.
I had the same thing happening to me after I moved the directory of my distro.
You have to unregister the distro from WSL;
wslconfig /u Ubuntu-20.04
and then just execute the installed exe and install the whole distro to WSL again.
I had to reinstall the windows to fix the issue. Something got corrupted in the OS. However, before reinstalling the OS as I had lot of work stored in the WSL2, I took the backup of the entire WSL2 image, the big .vhdx file. This file is the Virtual Hard Disk of WSL2 Linux. The files inside cannot be directly explored from Windows at the moment.
If one has not moved the file anywhere else, it is stored here: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\<PackageFamilyName>\LocalState\ext4.vhdx
Before reinstalling the OS, after taking the backup, I wanted to test if this backup runs fine on new install of WSL2. For that, I tested it on another machine, by installing the same Ubuntu WSL2 distro and replacing the .vhdx file created with the backup file. It ran fine.
So, it felt safe to do entire OS reinstall and then reinstalling WSL2 Ubuntu and finally replacing the .vhdx file with the old backup .vhdx file. So, I did loose some time. But, my data and all the applications/programs on WSL2 were intact.
I know this is old but I had the same problem after deleting a driver associated with Hyper V and fixed it by uninstalling the virtual machine platform and Windows Hypervisor along with WSL, rebooted, reinstalled all 3 and then I could install Ubuntu again
This is my first answer on stack overflow and English is not my first language.
So, I will answer this question in images. My solution would not delete the date in any existing installed Linux distribution, at least for me.
Hope you can solve this problem successfully.

"Enable" Virtualization from your bios settings.
Settings may differ from bios to bios (search for your machine options)
I have installed NetBSD 6.1.5 with full installation setting. However, when I run startx it says no screens could be found. So i tried "X -configure" and then "X -config ~/xconfig.conf.new" and I was brought to a very generic screen with a black x crosshair, but I was unable to exit this using the suggested ctrl+alt+backspace, so I had to force power off and check if my keyboard was recognized in the conf file generated, which it was. I have installed xdm, xterm, Xorg, and other X programs.
I am not familiar with setting up desktop environments from scratch. I am a newb who is used to Ubuntu esque installers doing that stuff for me.
Would someone be able to walk me though the installation or point me to a link which explains a step by step process?
What happens if you rename your xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Does startx or xdm work then?
Are you running this inside a VirtualBox or other emulator?
I have NetBSD on a Thinkpad T420 which I occasionally boot into Windows, and I've setup VirtualBox to be able to run the same NetBSD install when I'm in Windows. The key difference in the xorg.conf file is in the Device section:
Section "Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Also I've found the free version of http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ very handy - I use it to ssh into the virtual NetBSD box and then run X apps and have them display on the Windows desktop.
Final note - you might want to look out for the NetBSD-7 RC1 which should be out 'Real Soon Now', as there are some very handy improvements, including better support for most modern display hardware :)
I found that running startx from any directory with a .xinitrc file gives strange behavior in amd64 6.1.5 and 6.1.4. Delete (or rename) any .xinitrc files and try
xinit /path/to/windowmanager
Please read Chapter 9 of NetBSD Guide:
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-x.html
Section 9.9 discusses installing various Desktop Managers/Environments.
It turns out that I could run "X -config xorg.conf.new" as root on host and then ssh using putty to manually launch windows.
Possible?
I think to do this I need to upgrade the AIR runtime on the Fire to 3, but the version in the app store won't install. I can't create an AIR apk that is both captive runtime and debug that I know of, so the debug version of the app has to run on the AIR runtime installed. Since the Fire comes with 2.7, 3.x apps won't run in debug mode.
Has anyone managed to get AIR 3 running on a Fire without using captive runtime?
To update AIR on your KF you have to get root privileges. Also keep in mind that android build on KF doesn't have any copy command (it cut off). So the best way I found is to flash your KF with modified (pre-rooted) stock version and then install new air.
Get pre-rooted stock version (I took it here). IMPORTANT: it installs via TWRP, google how to install TWRP on KF.
Put downloaded .zip and air_runtime.apk (latest AIR version) in the root of KF.
Reboot in Recovery mode (TWRP should load)
Flash this version.
On your PC open cmd and run "adb shell" (make sure you see your device in list when run "adb devices" otherwise check drivers).
Run "su" (if you downloaded secure version).
In shell go to sdcard ("ls" to get list of files/folders and "cd folder_name" to get into) and run "install air_runtime.apk /system/app/air_runtime.apk" (I think you can just run "install /sdcard/folder_with_air/air_runtime.apk /system/app/air_runtime.apk").
(7a. If it tells you that can't install because of file already exist, run the following two commands: "mount -o remount rw /system" (mount 'system' with read/write rights) and "mv /system/app/air_runtime.apk /system/app/air_runtime.bak" (rename air_runtime.apk into air_runtime.bak). Then repeat step 7.)
In KF just run (install) air_runtime.apk (use any file explorer, e.g. download ES File Explorer from Amazon).
Check AIR version in Applications.
That's all. Looks a bit complex, but in real it takes about 4-5 mins for me to update AIR (BUT I have TWRP already installed).
Hope it helps.
UPD. After your Kindle updates itself (version 6.3.1 currently the latest) you'll lose you SU privileges. AIR also will be rolled back to 2.7. You can prevent KF auto-updates (search on xda how to do it) or flash actual pre-rooted version (it gives you several months without problems).
Studying vision, I would like to play with the Microsoft Kinect.
Can I use it on my Mac?
I have not found any Library for Mac and fear virtualization on my laptop to use Linux.
I've accessed Kinect data on OSX using openframeworks and the ofxKinect addon (which uses libfreenect and libusb).
It's not the only option, just I've used and worked 'out of the box'.
Try downloading the Zigfu Dev Bundle for mac (http://www.zigfu.com) - that should get you up to speed with kinect development on mac.
Using Kinect on Mac is as easy as ordering Latte.
But there is also a lot of confusion on the Internet and sites that seem to be old and give you the wrong advice such as installing a separate sensor library in addition to OpenNI. Just go to the basic website and download SDK for your MAC:
http://www.openni.org/openni-sdk/
You might need to have prerequsities though I assume you have already installed them, such as:
sudo port install libtool
sudo port install doxygen
restart comp
sudo port install libusb-devel +universal
Troubleshooting:
"sudo rm -f /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib"
"sudo port clean libusb"
"sudo port install libusb +universal"
No need to compile anything. You should be able to run ./Samples/Bin/SimpleViewer right away after you run sudo ./install.sh.The PROBLEM might be that you have already tried to run it unsuccessfully and put a camera in the wrong state. I have seen errors such as USB intercase cannot be set etc. as a side effect.
Running your code in Eclipse is a different story and may require a few extra steps and changing your Ubuntu code (using openni namespace, different includes, etc.)
Is is possible to automate the installation of an OS using VMware or any other virtualization product?
One of our products consists of a customized version of CentOS that installs the OS and our application on a server. It's much like any CentOS/RHEL installation where you choose a mode that corresponds to different kickstart options, and then you choose your keyboard type. The rest of the installation is automatic.
What I'd like to have is an automated system that will create a new guest VM, boot it with the ISO image of our product, start the installation (including choosing the keyboard), wait for the reboot, and then launch a set of automated tests.
I know that there are plenty of ways to automate the creation of new VM guests from existing templates/images, and I know you can use the VIX API to interact with virtual machines, but the VIX API seems to require that VMware tools is already running (which won't be the case when you're booting from the CentOS install disk).
This answer (Automating VMWare or VirtualPC) indicates that you can script VMware to boot from an ISO that does an unattended installation, but I would really like to test the same process that our customers will be using.
Another option might be to use Xen's fully-virtualized mode and see if scripting it over the serial port will work.
TIA,
Jason
I have a very very similar question, it is on superuser:
https://superuser.com/questions/36047/moving-vmware-os-image-as-primary-os-on-a-system
You can also use VirtualBox instead of VMWare. The VirtualBox SDK allows you to directly control the keyboard, the mouse the serial port and the parallel port of the guest without the virtualbox guest tools installed.
Unfortunately it doesn't offer a text console interface but the serial port can be connected to a local pipe file and that can probably be worked with just as well.
This may not be exactly what you need:
I have done something similar with a Ubuntu-based install. We used preseeding (Debian's form of kickstart), to answer all the questions during the install - providing the preseed file and the installer via tftp.
In addition to the official Ubuntu mirror we added the apt-server with our own packages in the preseed file. We put a .deb version of vmware-tools on the apt-server and added it to the packages to be installed.
The .deb of vmware tools just contained the .tar.gz and a postinstall script that would extract it to /tmp and run the vmware install script (which has a switch to be run unnattended, so it does not ask any questions).
So after the reboot vmware-tools were up and running and we could use vix to script the rest (which was not very reliable).
If you should encounter problems with running vmware-config.pl during boot, you could make a custom package that just extracts the tools and an init script that installs them on first boot, disables itself and reboots.
Maybe you can use this strategy (replacing apt by yum, preseed by kickstart and tftp by a remastered iso). If you really need to test that your users choose a keyboard in the installer (which is not very different from kickstart) this would obviously not work for you..
