NYC man to be sentenced in terror plot
NEW YORK (AP) -- Prosecutors are seeking life behind bars for a New York City man convicted earlier this year of conspiring to form a three-man terror cell with two of his former high school classmates and spread death on the subways as suicide bombers -- a foiled plot that authorities called one of the closest calls since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Adis Medunjanin, a 28-year-old U.S. citizen from Bosnia, was convicted earlier this year of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, attempting to commit an act of terrorism and other terrorism charges. He is being sentenced Friday afternoon in federal court in Brooklyn.
In court papers, prosecutors have argued for a life term for Medunjanin, saying he "committed a host of heinous crimes aimed at killing and maiming his fellow American citizens in order to alter and take revenge for American foreign policy."
At trial, defense attorneys admitted that Medunjanin wanted to fight for the Taliban, but they insisted he never agreed to spread death and destruction in the city where his family put down roots.
Medunjanin went overseas to fulfill a "romantic version of jihad. ... His plan and intent was to join the Taliban and stand up for what he believes in," defense attorney Robert Gottlieb said in his closing. "That was his purpose."
The trial ending in May was mostly notable because it featured the first-ever testimony from admitted homegrown terrorists about al-Qaida's determination to strike America on its home turf.
The former classmates at a Queens high school, Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay, testified that the three men sought terror training after falling under the influence of inflammatory recordings of U.S.-born extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki that they downloaded and listened to on their iPods.
The government's case was built on the testimony of Zazi, Ahmedzay and two other men: a British would-be shoe bomber and a man originally from Long Island who gave al-Qaida pointers on how best to attack a Walmart store.
Zazi and Ahmedzay, who testified as part of plea deal, told jurors that the scheme unfolded after the trio traveled to Pakistan in 2008 to avenge the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.
While receiving terror training at outposts in the South Waziristan region of Pakistan, al-Qaida operatives encouraged the American recruits to return home for a suicide-bombing mission intended to spread panic and cripple the economy. Among the targets considered were the New York Stock Exchange, Times Square and Grand Central Terminal, the men testified.
In a later meeting in New York, the plotters decided to strap on bombs and blow themselves up at rush hour on Manhattan subway lines because the transit system is "the heart of everything in New York City," Zazi said.
Zazi told jurors how he learned to extract explosives ingredients from nail polish remover, hydrogen peroxide and other products sold at beauty supply stores. When leaving Pakistan, he relocated to Colorado, where he perfected a homemade detonator in a hotel room and set out for New York City by car around the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The plot -- financed in part by $50,000 in credit card charges -- was abandoned after Zazi noticed that everywhere he drove in New York, a car followed.
"I think law enforcement is on us," he recalled telling Ahmedzay. Later, he said he told Medunjanin in a text message, "We are done."
Aside from Zazi and Ahmedzay, two other convicted terrorists were called as witnesses to give a rare glimpse into al-Qaida's training methods and the mindset of its leadership.
In a videotaped deposition made public for the first time, Saajid Badat recounted a clandestine meeting where Osama bin Laden explained the rationale behind the failed plot for Badat and Richard Reid to attack trans-Atlantic flights with bombs hidden in shoes.
Bin Laden "said the American economy is like a chain," the British man said. "If you break one -- one link of the chain -- the whole economy will be brought down. So after Sept. 11 attacks, this operation will ruin the aviation industry and in turn the whole economy will come down."
Bryant Neal Vinas, of Patchogue on Long Island, testified that he went to Pakistan in 2007 and later joined al-Qaida forces in an attack against American soldiers.
Vinas described how he suggested to others in al-Qaida in the summer of 2008 that they could plant explosives in suitcase aboard a Long Island Rail Road train or hide them inside a television that was being returned to a Walmart.
An attack on the popular retail outlet "would cause a very big economy hit," he said.

Let's face it, even if your favorite yoga mat is bulletproof and will never ever wear out, there's still a decent chance that you have a collection of yoga mats laying around the house, most likely never to be used for their intended purpose ever again. Eventually, one day you may decide to tidy up the place and gaze in astonishment at all your mats. First, you'll wonder where the heck they all came from. And second, you'll wonder what the heck to do with them since you really don't need old, worn-out mats filling up the corners of every room in your house, do you?
Well, it certainly looks yogic to have a mat in every corner, but then you think to yourself there must be something practical I could do with all these extra pieces of large, spongy, colorful, plastic rectangles. The simple answer:
After a little personal introspection and Internet research, I compiled this list of 43 creative ways to reuse, recycle, and extend your old yoga mats' non-yoga related usefulness. Sound fun? Get your scissors ready. Off you go:
My Personal Top 10 Reuse/Recycle Options:
- Turn your mat into a bleacher cushion. Great for those hard bleachers when watching sporting events. Here's how: Step 1) Cut the mat into equal pieces to make one top and bottom (the size of a newspaper laid flat); Step 2) Punch holes about every 2 inches with a paper hole punch all the way around (both top and bottom); Step 3) Take a couple of days worth of newspapers and lay them between the top and bottom (or if you have another old mat to sacrifice, chop it up and use it as the cushioning); Step 4) Use yarn, ribbon, rawhide, etc. to lace the holes and tie off. Oh yeah, pretty sweet, huh? To re-stuff, untie and add new newspaper. Easy to store, lightweight, washable, reusable, and comfortable
- Leave the beach towel home and bring your old yoga mat to the beach instead (caution! may induce spontaneous yoga poses on the beach 🙂
- Save your floors and roll out the old mats for the kids to do messy craft projects on
- Along the same lines as number 1, fold mat in four, place in a pillow cover, and you have a cheap and comfy meditation cushion
- Donate your old mat to a mat recycling program such as Recycle Your Mat, an eco-conscious organization whose goal is to re-purpose or recycle the world's unwanted yoga mats. Apparently Manduka offers 20% discount on your next mat purchase if you go this route! Jade Yoga also offers a 3R Program where yoga students can drop off their used up and unwanted mats to participating studios who, with Jade's help will find local resources to reuse or donate the mats. I'm sure there's more recycling programs like these, so feel free to comment if you know of other programs that deserve a mention
- Enjoy yoga in the wild! Use old mats as a "Guerrilla Yoga" mat alternative (okay, I just mean plain old outside yoga, but Guerrilla Yoga sounds so much more primitive). Most, if not all, "eco" mats are susceptible to damage by the elements and using them for outside practice is not the best idea. Now you don't have to jack up your good mat doing it
- How could the computer geek inside me resist a nice, thick, cushiony yoga mouse pad for surfing the Internet
- I really hate rattling stereo speakers. Place cut out yoga mat squares under those noisy stereo speakers to reduce vibration rattle
- Do you absolutely love the feel of yoga mat on your feet? Why not cut out yoga mat insoles for all your shoes. Now you're a true yogi! Oh, wait, no your not unless you've tried number 10…
- True yogis don't wear shoes, right? Why not make a pair of flip-flops out of your yoga mat?!? Click the link and/or watch the video below for everything you need to know. You're going to need these for going to the beach (see #2 above)

Beyonce Shows Off Sexy + Playful Side in GQ Behind-the-Scenes Footage
More content from Beyonce's February 2013 GQ cover has landed, this time in the form of the behind-the-scenes video from the Terry Richardson shoot. The singer/designer/Super Bowl halftime performer shows off her goofball side.
Bey cavorts in nerdy-sexy librarian glasses and an unbuttoned white top, and even flashes her cleavage.
It's essentially a clinic on how to be sexy.
But she's also playful, as she jumps up and down on a bed and wears a New York Nets cap, an ode to her hubby Jay-Z's basketball team.
She also plays with food, throwing it all over the place.
Go ahead, watch Bey make a mess for two minutes in this grainy footage, while mod punk music plays in the background.

Many observers commented on Time magazine's foolishness in overlooking General David Petraeus when it awarded its "Person of the Year" honor a week ago. But London's Telegraph was not so myopic:
Today, we put him in the spotlight again by naming Gen Petraeus as The Sunday Telegraph's Person of the Year, a new annual accolade to recognise outstanding individual achievement.
He has been the man behind the US troop surge over the past 10 months, the last-ditch effort to end Iraq's escalating civil war by putting an extra 28,000 American troops on the ground.
The Telegraph notes that there were several other strong candidates this year, including France's new president, Nicolas Sarkozy.
But the reason for picking Petraeus is simple. Iraq, whatever the current crises in Afghanistan and Pakistan, remains the West's biggest foreign policy challenge of this decade, and if he can halt its slide into all-out anarchy, Gen Petraeus may save more than Iraqi lives.
A failed Iraq would not just be a second Vietnam, nor would it just be America's problem.
It would be a symbolic victory for al-Qaeda, a safe haven for jihadists to plot future September 11s and July 7s, and a battleground for a Shia-Sunni struggle that could draw in the entire Middle East. Our future peace and prosperity depend, in part, on fixing this mess. And, a year ago, few had much hope.
The Telegraph concludes:
[I]t should not overshadow his achievement this year: he has given another last chance to a country that had long since ceased to expect one. And for that, Gen Petraeus is Person of the Year.

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Revoke blasphemy laws in the UK. The fact that blasphemy is still a criminal offence in Britain shows the extent of the lack of religious freedom within this country. Why should someone be punished for speaking against something they have no belief in?"This makes sense for all secularists, atheists and theists alike, as well as any non-Anglican theists whose own religion is not so protected.
Here's a description of the law:
"Blasphemy (and blasphemous libel) is a common law offence with an unlimited penalty. The content of the current law is obscure and, from the evidence that the Committee has received, is widely misunderstood.
The courts held, more generally, that it was "no longer true that 'Christianity is part of the law of the land'"[140]. The law of blasphemy was thus restricted to protecting the tenets and beliefs of the Church of England, other religions being protected only to the extent that their beliefs overlapped with those of the Church of England.
As to what precisely constitutes a blasphemy, the matter is obscure...From the decided cases it would seem that blasphemy is committed "by anyone who makes public words, pictures or conduct whereby the doctrines, beliefs, institutions, or sacred objects and rituals of the Church of England by law established are denied or scurrilously vilified or there is objectively contumelious, violent or ribald conduct or abuse directed towards the sacred subject in question, likely to shock and outrage the feelings of the general body of Church of England believers in the community". As the Law Commission's view indicates, quite what this means when it comes to applying the law to any given set of facts is difficult to say."

CEO Bernd to retire in 2016, Kern to assume role
Sentara Healthcare CEO David L. Bernd has announced he will retire on March 3, 2016, bringing to a close a 43-year career with 21 years at the helm. Under his leadership, Sentara has become an innovative, integrated health system that is recognized nationally for quality and patient safety. Upon his retirement, Howard P. Kern, the current President and Chief Operating Officer of Sentara Healthcare, will assume the role of CEO.
"Since Dave Bernd became Chief Executive Officer of Sentara Health System (now Sentara Healthcare) in March 1995, he has built a quality healthcare system focused on clinical best practices, advanced technology and exceptional patient care," said Bob Fort, chairman of the board. "His commitment to excellence has positioned Sentara to be recognized for 15 years as one of the nation's top integrated healthcare systems, including three times as #1, according to Modern Healthcare. Dave's leadership has extended beyond Sentara to national and state levels. Dave served as chairman of the American Hospital Association Board of Trustees in 2004, making him the top elected official of the largest hospital and health system association in the United States at that time. Dave chaired the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association from November 1994 - October 1995, and just this year was named by Virginia Business as one of Virginia's 50 Most Influential Leaders. He also served on many boards ranging from being Rector at Old Dominion University to the Chair of the YMCA of South Hampton Roads Board."
In announcing his retirement, Bernd said, "After four decades with the company and 21 years as CEO, it will be bittersweet to say goodbye, but I'm excited to see what this next chapter for Sentara will look like and have confidence in the future. When I became CEO, I held the belief that clinical quality and patient safety should be our #1 priority. I am proud of the hard work and dedication of our physicians, clinicians, nurses and members of the team to make this a reality as we all live the Sentara mission to improve health every day. I move on with confidence in the service Sentara delivers to the communities we serve. I'm honored to have worked alongside a team of truly smart and dedicated operational and clinical leaders that come together to take health care to the next level."
From 1995 when Bernd assumed the CEO position to today, Sentara has seen remarkable growth and transformation. In 1995, Sentara was a $600 million company serving Hampton Roads with four hospitals, a newly formed 63-physician medical group and a 143,000-member health plan. Today, Sentara is a $4.7 billion, multi-state, integrated system with 12 hospitals, four medical groups with 900+ providers, a 450,000+ member health plan, and life care and home care services.
Under his leadership, Sentara has not only become the largest health system in Virginia based on revenue and the fifth largest employer, but the company has also developed a national reputation for safety, quality and innovation. Bernd's priority of improving quality and nurturing a culture of patient safety has been a cornerstone of providing care for the communities we serve, and he has led the organization into a new era of health care, caring for defined populations and transforming the way health care is provided.
At the heart of all Mr. Bernd's accomplishments is the commitment to service – through the care we provide to our patients and to expanding the access to care for those unable to afford it. Sentara reinvests all earnings from operations back into the community and organization, and in 2014, Sentara provided more than $307 million in community benefits.
A major factor in the success of Sentara has also been the leadership of Howard Kern who has been COO alongside Bernd for the past 18 years.
Over the course of his Sentara career, Mr. Kern's leadership has had a direct impact on the strong operational and financial performance of the company, as well as the strategic direction Sentara has taken.
Mr. Kern received his Master of Health Administration degree from the Medical College of Virginia in 1981, after receiving his undergraduate degree from the State University of New York. He is a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives and a member of numerous professional and community organizations. He served on the board of the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association from 2003 and was its chairman in 2012. This diverse personal and professional leadership experience has prepared Mr. Kern to seamlessly move into the role of CEO where he will continue to champion quality, patient safety, the delivery of an extraordinary patient experience and strategic growth.
"Howard has been a strong, strategic leader and a major force behind Clinical Performance Improvement, an initiative designed to achieve rapid and significant clinical improvements that are scalable and sustainable," said Sandy Harris, current Vice-Chairman and in-coming Chairman of the Sentara Board. "Combined with his history with Sentara and his knowledge of the healthcare industry, Howard is set to usher Sentara into its next chapter."
"It's been a privilege to work with Dave in shaping a healthcare system designed to meet the demands of a rapidly changing landscape. I'm proud to continue the work we started as we innovate and challenge ourselves to grow smart and respond to the increasingly retail, digital and on-demand expectations of our consumers, further improve quality and patient safety, as well as the customer experience," said Kern. "Dave has built a strong reputation and legacy for Sentara that will continue to be shaped as we take part in the national conversation about what health care should look like in the future."
"It's been an honor to be a part of the Sentara story and the broader national healthcare conversation," reflected Bernd. "As Howard steps into the role of CEO after I retire, he brings with him strong leadership skills and experience. COOs have an important role as operational and financial leaders, but Howard is equally passionate and focused on clinical quality, strategy planning, smart growth and transformation of care. He is a strong visionary and a skilled strategist who has played a central role in our evolving strategic plan. His ability to motivate others to be innovative will benefit Sentara and the communities we serve moving forward."

That was "The New Avengers" (1976-77) - Patrick McNee, Ms Lumley, and Gareth Hunt as Gambit. I think they included him as a bit of 'eye candy' for the female viewers since Steed was getting on a bit now!! We were lucky(??) enough to see Gareth Hunt in panto one year as the Sheriff of Nottingham alongside Floella Benjamin as Robin Hood ... now how's that for a dream pairing?lo&m wrote:Just remembered. There was a late entry in the Avengers canon. It was a three-hander, two male leads and one female. Joanna Lumley might have been the female. Was one of the male leads Patrick McNee making a last go-round with the John Steed character?
Since it's just you and me playing this at the moment I'll put you out of your misery. I was thinking of "Sapphire & Steel", starring Joanna Lumley and 'UNCLE' Man David McCallum, which I see from looking online ran for 3 years and has something of a cult following. I seem to remember it as almost impossible to follow ... maybe I was too young to appreciate it!!

The Great Filth
The War Against Disease
in Victorian England
Stephen Halliday
Victorian Britain was the world's industrial powerhouse. Its factories, mills and foundries supplied a global demand for manufactured goods. As Britain changed from an agricultural to an industrial economy, people swarmed into the towns and cities where the work was; by the end of Queen Victoria's reign, almost 80 per cent of the population was urban. Overcrowding and filthy living conditions, though, were a recipe for disaster, and diseases such as cholera, typhoid, scarlet fever, smallpox and puerperal (childbed) fever were a part of everyday life for (usually poor) town- and city-dwellers. However, thanks to a dedicated band of doctors, nurses, midwives, scientists, engineers and social reformers, by the time the Victorian era became the Edwardian, they were almost eradicated, and no longer a constant source of fear. Stephen Halliday tells the fascinating story of how these individuals fought opposition from politicians, taxpayers and often their own colleagues to overcome these diseases and make the country a safer place for everyone to live.

VirtualBox Extras
zh-CN:VirtualBox Extras This page describes some additional functionality of VirtualBox.
- 1 Basic virtual machine setup
- 2 Extension pack
- 3 Networking
- 4 Guest additions
- 5 Sharing keyboard and mouse
- 6 Linux and X display configuration
- 7 Sharing files
- 8 D3D acceleration in Windows guests
- 9 Virtual hard disks
- 10 Windows XP guest and Nokia phones
- 11 Starting virtual machines with a key binding
- 12 Detecting web-cams and other USB devices
- 13 Sending CTRL+ALT+F1
- 14 Starting VMs at system boot on headless servers
- 15 Virtual machine control daemon
- 16 Accessing a guest server
- 17 Daemon Tools
- 18 VirtualBox on a USB key
- 19 phpVirtualBox
- 20 Troubleshooting
Basic virtual machine setup
In the machine settings, go to the audio tab and select the correct driver according to your sound system (ALSA, OSS or PulseAudio).
RAM and video memory
You can change the default values by going to Settings → General.
You can change the default values by going to Settings → CD/DVD-ROM.
Check mount CD/DVD drive and select one of the following options.
Extension pack
VirtualBox requires an extension pack in order to provide support for RDP, as well as USB 2.0 and PXE booting for Intel network cards, etc., available at this webpage: VirtualBox Downloads. This PUEL licensed extension pack is free for personal use.
To install the Extension pack you download and save it to your hard drive and then open the VirtualBox main program. Click on preferences and on the left side click Extensions. On the right side, click the add package icon and then open the folder that has the extension and click to install it.
Additionally you can install the Extension Pack from the command line using VBoxManage.
VBoxManage extpack install <tarball> | uninstall [--force] <name> | cleanup
As an alternative, you could also use virtualbox-ext-oracleAUR from the AUR.
VirtualBox guests may be networked through various methods; among them, there is #NAT and #Bridged networking. Using the #NAT method is the simplest and the default for new virtual machines.
In order to use host-only and internal network settings you have to load the
vboxnetadp kernel module. The VirtualBox manual covers the available options for these two network types. They have been omitted here due to them being, for the most part, OS agnostic.
From VirtualBox:
- access the VM's Settings menu;
- click on Network from the list to the left; finally,
- in the Attached to drop-down list, select NAT.
VirtualBox's bundled DHCP server enables the guest system to be configured with DHCP. The NAT IP address on the first card is 10.0.2.0, 10.0.3.0 on the second and so on.
Bridged networking may be setup through various methods; among them, there is the native way, which requires minimal setup at the expense of having less control. For other methods, see Advanced VirtualBox Networking. Since newer versions, VirtualBox can bridge between a guest and a wireless host interface without the help of third party utilities.
Before continuing, load the required module:
# modprobe vboxnetflt
From VirtualBox:
- access the VM's Settings menu;
- click on Network from the list to the left;
- in the Attached to drop-down list, select Bridged Adapter; finally,
- in the Name drop-down list, select the name of the host interface that is connected to the network that the guest OS should be part of.
Start the virtual machine and configure its network as usual; e.g., DHCP or static.
Guest additions
The Guest Additions make the shared folders feature available, improve video card acceleration support, and enable bi-directional clipboard between the guest and host. Mouse integration is another feature, taking away the need of releasing the mouse after using it in the guest.
Windows guests
After installing Windows (XP etc.) on your virtual machine, simply select Devices → Install Guest Additions...
This will mount the iso image and windows should then automatically launch the guest additions installer. Follow the instructions to the end. If you have Guest Additions installed for one virtual machine, and you want to install it for another one, there is no need to re-download the .iso. Select Devices → CD/DVD Devices → Choose virtual CD/DVD drive and navigate to ~/.VirtualBox where the image is located. This is the case if you have multiple VMs.
Sharing keyboard and mouse
- To capture the keyboard and mouse, click the mouse inside the virtual machine display.
- To uncapture, press right Template:Keypress.
To get seamless mouse integration between host and guest, install the #Guest Additions inside the guest.
Linux and X display configuration
When generating the guests'
xorg.conf with
X -configure, the InputDevice section may feature the
mouse driver. After installing the Guest Additions, replace
mouse with
vboxmouse and then restart X or reboot the guest.
Alternatively, add the following to the guest's
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "vboxmouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection
Full host resolution
Set the resolution of your guest in the grub boot script
/boot/grub/menu.lst, i.e. add the correct vga code to the kernel command line. For a resolution of 1280x1024, this would e.g. look like
# kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/7bdc5dee-8fb0-4260-bc43-60ac6e4e4a54 ro vga=795
Add the resolution to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, e.g.
Section "Screen" ... SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" EndSubSection ... EndSection
If you experience problems with your resolution dropping back to second lower resolution in the 'Modes' setting, simply omit the second resolution. Example
Modes "1280x1024"
Sharing files
In the settings of the virtual machine go to shared folders tab and add the folders you want to share.
- NOTE: You need to install Guest Additions in order to use this feature.
In a Linux host, Devices → Install Guest Additions Yes (when asked to download the CD image) Mount (when asked to register and mount)
In a Linux host, create one or more folders for sharing files, then set the shared folders via the virtualbox menu (guest window).
In a Windows guest, starting with VirtualBox 1.5.0, shared folders are browseable and are therefore visible in Windows Explorer. Open Windows Explorer and look for it under My Networking Places → Entire Network → VirtualBox Shared Folders.
Launch the Windows Explorer (run explorer command) to browse the network places -> expand with the (+) sign : entire network → VirtualBox shared folders → \\Vboxsvr → then you can now expand all your configured shared folders here, and set up shortcuts for Linux folders in the guest filesystem. You can alternatively use the "Add network place wizard", and browse to "VBoxsvr".
Alternatively, on the Windows command line, you can also use the following:
net use x: \\VBOXSVR\sharename
VBOXSVR is a fixed name, replace
x: with the drive letter that you want to use for the share, and sharename with the share name specified with VBoxManage.
In a Windows guest, to improve loading and saving files (e.g. MS Office) by VirtualBox Shared Folders edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts as below:
127.0.0.1 localhost vboxsvr
In a Linux guest, use the following command:
# mount -t vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] sharename mountpoint (Notes: sharename is optional or same as selected in the VirtualBox-Dialog , mountpoint of the shared directory in the hosts filesystem)
- Automatically mounting a shared folder is possible through the linux-guest
/etc/fstabfile. You may also specify the uid=#,gid=# (where # is replaced by the actual numerical uid and gid) to mount the share with normal user permissions instead of root permissions. (this can be helpful to mount parts of your host
~/homefor use in your Linux-guest. To do this add an entry in the following format to the linux-guest
sharename mountpoint vboxsf uid=#,gid=# 0 0
sharename with the share name specified with VBoxManage, and mountpoint with the path where you want the share to be mounted (e.g. /mnt/share). The usual mount rules apply, that is, create this directory first if it does not exist yet. Note that if you have told VirtualBox to "automatically mount" the shared folder, this step may not be necessary and your folder will be found somewhere under
Beyond the standard options supplied by the mount command, the following are available:
to set the character set used for I/O operations (utf8 by default) and
to specify the character set used for the shared folder name (utf8 by default).
D3D acceleration in Windows guests
Recent versions of Virtualbox have support for accelerating OpenGL inside guests. This can be enabled with a simple checkbox in the machine's settings, right below where video ram is set, and installing the Virtualbox guest additions. However, most Windows games use Direct3D (part of DirectX), not OpenGL, and are thus not helped by this method. However, it is possible to gain accelerated Direct3D in your Windows guests by borrowing the d3d libraries from Wine, which translate d3d calls into OpenGL, which is then accelerated.
After enabling OpenGL acceleration as described above, go to http://www.nongnu.org/wined3d/ in your Windows guest and grab the "Latest version (Installer):". Reboot the guest into safe mode (press F8 before the Windows screen appears but after the Virtualbox screen disappears), and install wined3d, accepting the defaults during the install. (You may check the box for DirectX 10 support if you like, don't touch anything else.) Reboot back to normal mode and you should have accelerated Direct3D.
Virtual hard disks
Cloning a Disk Image and Reassigning a UUID
Assigns a new UUID to the given image file. This way, multiple copies of a container can be registered.
$ VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid /path/to/disk.vdi
Compacting Linux disks
Boot the Linux guest VM and remove all bloat (unwanted packages, temp files, etc.). When satisfied, wipe the freespace using dd or preferably dcfldd:
$ dcfldd if=/dev/zero of=fillfile bs=4M
When the fillfile hits the limit of the virtual hdd, the vast majority of user-space (non-reserved blocks) will be filled. Alternatively, run the command as root to get all of them. Example message: "8192 blocks (8192Mb) written.dcfldd:: No space left on device."
Once this occurs, simply remove the fill file and powerdown the VM:
$ rm -f fillfile && sudo shutdown -hF now
Now compact the disk:
$ VBoxManage modifyhd /path/to/your.vdi --compact
Compacting Windows disks
See this article.
Increasing Windows disk size
If you find that you are running out of space due to the small hard drive size you selected when created your VM, you can take the following steps:
Create a new vdi in ~/.VirtualBox/HardDisks by running:
# cd ~/.VirtualBox/HardDisks # VBoxManage createhd -filename new.vdi --size 10000
where size is in mb, in this example 10000MB ~= 10GB, and new.vdi is name of new hard drive to be created.
Next the old vdi needs to be cloned to the new vdi, this may take some time so wait while it occurs:
# VBoxManage clonehd old.vdi new.vdi --existing
Detach old harddrive and attach new hard drive, replace VMName with whatever you called your VM:
# VBoxManage modifyvm VMName --hda none # VBoxManage modifyvm VMName --hda new.vdi
Boot the VM, run Partition Wizard 5 to resize the partition on the fly, and reboot.
Remove old vdi from VirtualBox and delete
# VBoxManage closemedium disk old.vdi # rm old.vdi
Disk image format conversion
qemu-img program can be used to convert images from one format to another or to add compression or encryption to an image.
qemu-img is provided by the qemu package.
QEMU to VDI
To convert a QEMU image for use with VirtualBox, first convert it to raw format, then use VirtualBox's conversion utility to convert and compact it in its native format.
$ qemu-img convert -O raw test.qcow2 test.raw $ VBoxManage modifyvdi /full/path/to/test.vdi compact or $ qemu-img convert -O raw test.qcow2 test.raw $ VBoxManage convertfromraw /full/path/to/test.raw /full/path/to/test.vdi $ VBoxManage modifyvdi /full/path/to/test.vdi compact
From QEMU 0.12.x on,
qemu-img is able to convert directly to VDI and back, if necessary:
$ qemu-img convert -O vdi test.qcow2 test.vdi
VMware to VDI
You can
$ VBoxManage clonehd source.vmdk target.vdi --format VDI
although recent versions of VirtualBox are able to use (and also create) .vmdk images directly.
Windows XP guest and Nokia phones
To get working Windows XP and Nokia phones with PC Suite mode, VirtualBox needs two simple steps:
1. Add a rule to udev with
LABEL="usb_serial_start" ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", \ GROUP="usbfs", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout" LABEL="usb_serial_end"
2. Create the group
usbfs and add its user to it
# groupadd usbfs # usermod -a -G usbfs $USER
After logging out, connect a Nokia phone with PC Suite mode and start Windows XP to test the new rule.
Starting virtual machines with a key binding
It can be useful to start the virtual machines directly rather than start the Virtual Box console. To do this, simply assign a keybinding in .xbindkeysrc to
"VBoxManage startvm vm-name" keycode keyname
If you have a space in the vm name, then enclose the vm-name in single apostrophes. For eg.
"VBoxManage startvm 'Windows 7'" m:0x0 + c:163 XF86Mail
Detecting web-cams and other USB devices
Make sure you filter any devices that are not a keyboard or a mouse so they do not start up at boot and this insures that Windows will detect the device at start-up.
Sending CTRL+ALT+F1
If your guest O/S is a Linux distro, and you want to open a new tty text shell or exit X via typing Template:Keypress+Template:Keypress+Template:Keypress, you can easily send this command to the guest O/S simply by hitting your 'Host Key' (usually the Template:Keypress in the Right side of your keyboard) + Template:Keypress or Template:Keypress, etc.
Starting VMs at system boot on headless servers
Add this line to
exec /bin/su -c 'VBoxManage startvm --type headless <UUID|NAME>' PREFERED_USER >/dev/null 2>&1
Where <UUID|NAME> is the guest identifier, and PREFERRED_USER is the user profile that contains the VM definitions and .vdi files.
Since exec replaces the currently running process, you will not be able to start a second VM, or execute any other commands, after the exec. Try the following if this is a problem:
su -c 'VBoxHeadless -s <UUID|NAME> &' -s /bin/sh PREFERED_USER >/dev/null 2>&1
Using fully qualified path to su and VBoxHeadless is recommend. Add additional lines like above to start additional VMs. Commands following these in
/etc/rc.local will be executed. Based on some rooting around in the VirtualBox documentation, I get the impression this will be a little more robust than 'VBoxManage ... --type headless' in future VBox releases.
To determine the available VMs for a user:
su -c 'VBoxManage list vms' PREFERED_USER
To save the state of a running VM:
su -c 'VBoxManage controlvm <UUID|NAME> savestate' PREFERED_USER
/etc/rc.local.shutdown would be a good spot for this.
Virtual machine control daemon
Below is a daemon for controlling virtual machines. Guests will be initialized on start, and state-saved on stop, or you will just get a "./vbox_service: line 31: out[${m[1]}]: bad array subscript" message when you run it.
The configuration file:
# Guests to manage: #VB_GUESTS=('OpenBSD' 'Slackware' 'Windows XP') # # Disable a guest by prepending a bang: #VB_GUESTS=('OpenBSD' 'Slackware' !'Windows XP') # # Default value matches none: VB_GUESTS=() # User to run Virtual Box as: VB_USER='vbox'
The script:
#!/bin/bash . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions unset VB_GUESTS unset VB_USER [[ -r /etc/conf.d/vbox_service ]] && . /etc/conf.d/vbox_service [[ ${VB_GUESTS[@]} ]] || VB_GUESTS=() [[ ${VB_USER[@]} ]] || VB_USER='vbox' match() { [[ $REPLY =~ $1 ]] && m=("${BASH_REMATCH[@]}") } vm_raw() { local argv='' printf -v argv ' %q ' "$@" su -c "/usr/bin/VBoxManage $argv" -s /bin/sh "$VB_USER" } vm_ls() { local -A out='' local -i ret=1 local m=() while read -r; do match '^"(.+)" \{(.+)\}$' out[${m[1]}]=${m[2]} done < <(vm_raw list vms) local i='' for i in "${VB_GUESTS[@]##!*}"; do if [[ ${out[$i]} ]]; then printf ' %q ' "${out[$i]}" ret=0 fi done return $ret } vm_envinit() { local m=() while read -r; do match '^(.+)="?([^"]+)' env[$1:${m[1]}]=${m[2]} done < <(vm_raw showvminfo --machinereadable "$1") } start() { if [[ ${env[$1:VMState]} != 'running' ]]; then vm_raw startvm --type headless "$1" fi } stop() { if [[ ${env[$1:VMState]} == 'running' ]]; then vm_raw controlvm "$1" savestate fi } restart() { stop "$1" sleep 3 start "$1" } usage() { printf '%s\n' "usage: $0 <start|stop|restart> [name|uuid]..." >&2 } if [[ ! $1 =~ ^(start|stop|restart)$ ]]; then usage exit 2 fi cmd=$1 shift (($#)) || eval set -- "$(vm_ls)" stat_busy "${cmd^}ing VMs:" trap 'stat_die' ERR set -Ee declare -A env='' for i; do [[ $i ]] vm_envinit "$i" stat_append "${env[$i:name]}, " $cmd "${env[$i:UUID]}" &>/dev/null done stat_done
Accessing a guest server
To access apache on a VM from the Host machine ONLY, simply execute the following lines on the Host:
$ VBoxManage setextradata GuestName "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/Apache/HostPort" 8888 $ VBoxManage setextradata GuestName "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/Apache/GuestPort" 80 $ VBoxManage setextradata GuestName "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/Apache/Protocol" TCP
Where 8888 is the port the host should listen on and 80 is the port the VM will send Apache's signal on. To use a port lower than 1024 on the host machine changes need to be made to the firewall on the host machine. This can also be set up to work with SSH, etc.. by changing "Apache" to whatever service and using different ports.
Note: "pcnet" refers to the network card of the VM. If you use an Intel card in your VM settings change "pcnet" to "e1000"

Daemon Tools
While VirtualBox can mount ISO images without a problem, there are some image formats which cannot reliably be converted to ISO. For instance, ccd2iso ignores .ccd and .sub files, which can give disk images with broken files. cdemu, fuseiso, and MagicISO will do the same. In this case there is no choice but to use Daemon Tools inside VirtualBox.
VirtualBox on a USB key
When using VirtualBox on a USB key, for example to start an installed machine with an ISO image, you will manually have to create VDMKs from the existing drives. However, once the new VMDKs are saved and you move on to another machine, you may experience problems launching an appropriate machine again. To get rid of this issue, you can use the following script to launch VirtualBox. This script will clean up and unregister old VMDK files and it will create new, proper VMDKs for you:
#!/bin/bash # Erase old VMDK entries rm ~/.VirtualBox/*.vmdk # Clean up VBox-Registry sed -i '/sd/d' ~/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml # Remove old harddisks from existing machines find ~/.VirtualBox/Machines -name \*.xml | while read file; do line=`grep -e "type\=\"HardDisk\"" -n $file | cut -d ':' -f 1` if [ -n "$line" ]; then sed -i ${line}d $file sed -i ${line}d $file sed -i ${line}d $file fi sed -i "/rg/d" $file done # Delete prev-files created by VirtualBox find ~/.VirtualBox/Machines -name \*-prev -exec rm '{}' \; # Recreate VMDKs ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | cut -d ' ' -f 9,11 | while read ln; do if [ -n "$ln" ]; then uuid=`echo "$ln" | cut -d ' ' -f 1` device=`echo "$ln" | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | cut -d '/' -f 3 | cut -b 1-3` # determine whether drive is mounted already checkstr1=`mount | grep $uuid` checkstr2=`mount | grep $device` checkstr3=`ls ~/.VirtualBox/*.vmdk | grep $device` if [[ -z "$checkstr1" && -z "$checkstr2" && -z "$checkstr3" ]]; then VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ~/.VirtualBox/$device.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/$device -register fi fi done # Start VirtualBox VirtualBox
Note that your user has to be added to the "disk" group to create VMDKs out of existing drives.
An open source, AJAX implementation of the VirtualBox user interface written in PHP. As a modern web interface, it allows you to access and control remote VirtualBox instances. Much of its verbage and some of its code is based on the (inactive) vboxweb project. It allows the administrator to remotely and graphically administer their virtual machines without having to log in to their headless VirtualBox servers.
This requires the PUEL edition for VirtualBox (may be wrong).
See PhpVirtualBox for more information about the Arch Linux-specific installation process.
An installation guide is available here: http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/wiki/Installation
Arch Linux users should uncomment these 2 extensions in
extension=json.so extension=soap.so
Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer. Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x00004005) Component: host Interface: IHost {f39438d7-abfd-409b-bc80-5f5291d92897}
If you encounter such a warning message, please recheck that you're logged in as a user is a member of the group 'vboxusers'. If not, you can add yourself with the following command:
$ usermod -aG vboxusers USERNAME
- NOTE: You need to do a re-login and restart VirtualBox to get the changes to take effect. Alternatively restart the computer to apply all the changes.
May also need add in
/etc/fstab this string:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,busgid=108,busmode=0775,devgid=108,devmode=0664 0 0
Some people with older computers can have trouble running an OpenBSD VM, manifesting as bunch of segmentation faults and total unusability. Starting VirtualBox with the -norawr0 argument may solve the problem. You can do it like this:
$ VBoxSDL -norawr0 -vm NameOfYourOpenBSDVM

NEWARK -- According to John Tortorella, the kids -- Chris Kreider and J.T. Miller -- are all right. But after a stinging 3-1 loss to the Devils Tuesday night in which the power play was 0-for-5 and New Jersey capitalized on early mistakes, the Rangers coach torched players without naming them, saying they were "scared and tentative."
In fact, he predicted that the two rookies are "going to probably take some people's jobs."
Now at 4-5 to start a shortened season, Tortorella said special teams "let us down," especially with a man advantage for eight minutes on three separate penalties in the first period around Adam Henrique's goal at 5:00. The Rangers are 3-for-35 on the power play, including 1-for-14 on the road.
"It's been a struggle and it hurt us again," Tortorella said.
But Tortorella was upset with the effort of established players. He gave credit to Kreider, who scored his first regular-season NHL goal, and Miller, who was making his NHL debut.
"We have some guys who are really playing hard, and we've got some guys that look scared," he said. "Very happy with Kreider, I thought he played well. Miller was hard on the puck and did some good things. We'll see where we go with our lineup, but I'll tell you right now, I'm not waiting. We have some guys that are very tentative, very careful, and we don't play careful hockey."
The opportunistic Devils (5-1-3) took a 2-0 first-period lead on the first of David Clarkson's two goals. Martin Brodeur made 24 saves and the Devils' quick defense limited any Rangers' second chances.
Henrique, who sent the Blueshirts home for the summer with the series-clinching goal in last year's Eastern Conference Finals, scored after turnovers by Marian Gaborik and Michael Del Zotto.
At 13:09, the Rangers blew a major opportunity when Andy Greene drew a double-minor for high-sticking Arron Asham, and came up empty. At one point, Marc Staal was robbed by an out-of-position Brodeur. "I don't know how he got over there," he said. "He must've anticipated the pass. I had a hole, it hit the bottom of his pad.''
Clarkson extended the lead with 53 seconds left, when Nash lost the puck in his skates in front. "A combination of us being a little sloppy and me not coming up with saves," said Henrik Lundqvist, who made 19 stops. "[Brodeur] made the saves when he needed to. It's not the start we were looking for personally, and as a group."
In the third, Lundqvist stopped Jacob Josefson on a 2-on-1, but the Devils cashed in on a power play. Clarkson jumped on a rebound, and didn't get all of the puck as Del Zotto arrived late, but enough to get it by Lundqvist at 2:53.
Kreider then scored his first regular-season goal -- he had five in the playoffs. In his first game after missing four with a bone chip in his ankle, he snapped a high, short side shot from just below the left circle at 6:28 of the third. Miller had two shots and was a plus-1 in 14:25.
"Kreids had a really nice goal and shot," Brad Richards said. "J.T. held his own, for sure."
If that continues, Tortorella surely will not hesitate to make changes.
