Guest machine is running fine, but how to exchange files with it? There are ways to do it via shared folder or even drag-and-drop from host, but I prefer to use an SSH server and connect via SFTP, since it’s Linux we’re talking about anyway. But it’s just too damn expensive ($80) and I haven’t decided yet it will be my main editor. …Yes, I have an unregistered Sublime Text. If video doesn’t play in your browser, you can download it here. So, that was the last of my problems and now I can easily switch between my Mac OS host and Linux virtual machine using 3-finger swipe just like this: For me performance of guest-machine got significantly improved. Now simply reboot you guest-machine and choose LXDE at logon screen.

Open terminal in your guest-machine and install necessary packages:Īnd that’s it.

To have more you need to download Extension Pack for VirtualBox (and install Guest Additions for guest-machine). Having done that you might notice that you can only have maximum 1024x768 resolution. Insert Linux installation image (I usen Debian) into machine, start it and install Linux there. In that case you’ll need to go to Security & Privacy and allow it ( Open Anyway).Ĭreate a new virtual machine. Nothing special here, except for maybe Gatekeeper (or whoever) that might block VirtualBox from installing/starting.
