The second part is showing how to install Guest Addition for Windows XP

This third part is showing how to install Guest Addition for Ubuntu 6.06

1. Click Install Guest Addition on VirtualBox


2. After installation, in ubuntu desktop will mounted a cd rom to Guest Addition.iso cdrom


3. The path of Guest Addition could be showing using Tree view i.e /media/cdrom (depend on which media is used by Guest Addition)


4. Open terminal and go to /media/cdrom


5. Run sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run (because the quest installed as 32bit linux)
6. After Installation, restart the ubuntu, and the Guest Addition has been installed.


For ubuntu 6.06 the addition is just enabled to transfer between machine and over crossed mouse but could not support the seamless mode.

1. User Interface Enhancement
2. Interaction with Host PC and Folder Sharing

[User Interface Enhancement]

20. A wizardry Guest Addition will be appeared. Click Next.

21. Accept license agreement and click Next button.

22. Click Install button on default location of Guest Additions.

23. Installing process will be shown.

24. Choose Reboot Now to Finish. It will reboot the Virtual Machine.

26. Click on Folder Add {1} button, it will pop up a Add Share window, click Browse {2} button if want to share this folder permanently, tick on Make Permanent check box,

At the beginning tools for IE debugging is lack compare to Firefox, which has abundance free tools like Firebug extension etc. So after a years at last IE has its debugging tools that convenient as in Firefox.

In Web Development I choose these 3 powerful tools that come with free and easy to use.

1. Http Watch Basic

2. IE Developer Toolbar

• Howto Setup Virtual Box (VPN and LAN on same time, same Box )

By Eddy Tlessh 2008.05.12

This is a brief tutorial to access Google Code SVN Server. Google Code is very fast and reliable for SVN Repository.

Subversion (SVN) is a version control system initiated in 2000 by CollabNet Inc. It is used to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation.

I am using one of the sample project that have been done for NUS ISS M.Tech Course. ARS.Net is a simple program for Flight Reservation. Database structure and content are inspired from SAP sample of S_FLIGHT.

Like other services from Google , Google Code required Google User name and password, with some notes:

• username = gmail username without @gmail.com
• password of Session = Login to Google services (e.g gmail) firstly to keep session in browser and next goto App. SVN url e.g http://code.google.com/p/arsnet
• SVN password = SVN Client will use this password to authorize user to access SVN Server.

SVN password can be found under Settings link , see picture below:

One of powerful and fast SVN Client is TortoiseSVN which can be downloaded on http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.

Below is step by step to use SVN Server of Google Code. The End target is we can do a check out and check it of SVN.

1. Create Workspace Folder and Checkout SVN

Create a folder using Windows Explorer, right click and choose SVN Checkout…

TortoiseSVN will ask an url, type an Application Project svn from googlecode, e.g https://arsnet.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/. On checkout directory enter workspace location which created on Step 1 e.q: D:\workspaces\VisualStudio.Net\ARS.Net

2. Setting up Firewall Proxy (optional)

This step is optional, if there are any firewall existed, it is needed to define a proxy and port for TortoiseSVN to access internet

3. Checkout SVN and User Authentication

If TortoiseSVN is succeeded to connect to google code, It will required to key in user (w/o @gmail.com) and SVN password (see Step1 to retrieved a SVN password). Tick Save authentication checkbox so it will not keep asking user/password for every Checkout.

4. Add File or Folder to SVN

To add file or folder to SVN , on folder/file right click press TortoiseSVN – Add…

Select folder or file to be added

If it is success on add, it will show the result. but the concrete file is still not in SVN Server.

5. Commit Changes

Every operation on SVN Client such as Add or modify, SVN requires to commit to send a file to repository server.

It is a good practice to give an informative comments.

Commit is succesfully done.

With these few steps, you have done a basic use of SVN repository (standar operation that frequently done).

Accessing Google SVN from behind Proxy

For accessing SVN from behind firewall proxy, you need to know what is your proxy addess, port , user id and password. Usually this information can be found in your browser setting like IE is in menu Tools – Internet Options – Connections Tab – LAN Setting .

The way to add proxy setting, is right click on SVN folder and from context choose Tortoise SVN – Settings as seen below:

And from Tortoise SVN setting choose Network [1] and check the Enable Proxy Server[2], write down the information which you have in Browser proxy recently[3]. Some times a proxy is without user id or /password, then in this case just left it blank.

Clearing Authentication Cache.

This TortoiseSVN – Setting is to clear SVN user id/password after you authenticate it. It is very useful if one computer is used by more than 1 SVN user id. In Settings , choose Saved Data, click button Clear on Authentication data.

I welcome any comments and questions.

Installation of Virtual Box is easy and straight forward, most of the step is just clicking of Next Button.

There are 6 main topics:

1. Download and Install Virtual Box
2. Creating New Virtual Machine
3. Creating New Virtual Disk
4. Operating System Installation
5. User Interface Enhancement
6. Interaction with Host PC and Folder Sharing

Let’s start to install VirtualBox

[Download and Install Virtual Box]

1. Download Sun VirtualBox from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

2. Install VirtualBox, This tutorial is using Virtual box 1.6

3. Run VirtualBox

[Creating New Virtual Machine]

5. Create New Virtual Machine will pop up. Give a name and select the OS Type. Click Next button.

6. Choose a default base memory. Click Next button.

7.  Create a new virtual image, Click on New Button.

[Creating New Virtual Disk]

9. Choose an image type, click on dynamically expanding image. Click Next button.

10. Choose any name of image and the path location, and define maximum image size. For Windows XP, minimum required is 2 GB, Choose 3 GB, the disk will expand to this maximum size. So you need to install size consuming application, spare for bigger size. Click Next button.

11. Click Finish, and will return you to previous wizard.

12. Back to New Virtual Machine, ensure the image file is selected. Click Next button.

13. Summary of Virtual Machine will be shown. Steps of creating new image file is finish.

[Operating System Installation]

15. First Run Wizard will be appeared. Click Next button.

16. Choose media of OS installation source. For example Source is DVD on drive E. Click Next button.

17. Click Finish button.

18. And The VirtualBox will start and act as PC in PC and will read DVD source to start install a OS

This is the end of first part of tutorial. Click here to continue with Virtual Box Guest Addition installation.
