Arch linux virtualbox9/16/2023 ![]() Install the base + some useful packages: 1 Installation # Select the mirrors #Īgain, here it let you select the mirrors. # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/efi # mount ESP to /efi outside /bootĬheck the partition table: lsblk -f /dev/sda. # mkfs.ext4 /dev/myvg/root # or /dev/mapper/myvg-root N # create a new partition (EFI system partition)Ĭreate a volume group, adding the previously created physical volume to it: 1Ĭreate all your logical volumes on the volume group: 1įormat your filesystems on each logical volume: 1 So we will have two partitions: one ESP and one partition that will host the LVM container. UEFI is enabled, so I will use a GPT partition type and an EFI system partition (ESP). Now we will use LVM to manage the disk and assume there is only one physical disk. Identify the block device associated to disks with lsblk or fdisk -l. In UEFI mode you may experience a black screen, see #Black screen for guest in EFI mode for a workaround. If you want to install Arch Linux in EFI mode inside VirtualBox, in the settings of the virtual machine, choose System item from the panel on the left and Motherboard tab from the right panel, and check the checkbox Enable EFI (special OSes only). While creating you new virtual machine, you'll need to configure the VM settings in Virtualbox. If you're not confident with those steps check the ArchWiki. So you can download the ArchLinux iso, verify its signature, boot the live environment, set the keyboard layout, verify the boot mode, connect to the internet, update the system clock. Pre-installation # First basic steps #įor those first steps, I think you are a big boy enough to do them alone. Launch VirtualBoxĪfter the installation, you can launch VirtualBox by running the virtualbox command in the terminal or by going to Application Launcher.First of all, this tutorial doesn't prevent you from following the ArchWiki - Installation guide, it is not standalone. ![]() You can install the virtualbox-ext-oracle package from the seblu repository or manually by downloading the Oracle Extension Pack and installing it via VirtualBox GUI ( File > Preferences > Extensions). It is released under a non-free license only available for personal use. The Oracle Extension Pack provides additional features such as USB 2.0/3.0, VirtualBox Remote Desktop Protocol, and much more. pacman -Syy virtualbox-guest-iso Install VirtualBox Extension Pack on Arch Linux iso file at /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso on Arch Linux. The VirtualBox guest addition disc provides installer packages via an ISO image for installing guest additions onto the installed virtual machines. Install VirtualBox Guest Additions Disc on Arch Linux If you use any other kernel, you can find the right kernel headers by searching the Arch Linux package. pacman -Syy linux-headersįor the Linux LTS kernel (linux-lts), install the below package. To compile VirtualBox modules, you will also need to install kernel headers.įor the Linux stable kernel (linux), install the below package. For any other kernel, including Linux LTS kernel (linux-lts), choose virtualbox-host-dkms.For the Linux stable kernel (linux), choose virtualbox-host-modules-arch.While installing, you will need to choose the right VirtualBox host module package based on the kernel your system currently boots into ( uname -r) as Arch Linux supports installing multiple Linux kernels. So, you can easily install VirtualBox using the pacman command. The VirtualBox package is available on the Arch Linux repository. Update Arch Linuxīefore installing the VirtualBox package, update the Arch Linux packages with Pacman. Here, we will see how to install VirtualBox on Arch Linux. It supports the guest virtual machines running Windows, Linux, BSD, OS/2, Solaris, Haiku, and OSx86 operating systems. VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software that helps us run multiple guest operating systems (virtual machines) on a single host machine.
