Hi
I am on Windows 10 ( 32-bits system) on an oldish Intel 2- Core 14-2120 3.30 GHZ 32-bits CPU. I want to virtualize a 2nd OS ( Windows 10) in order to switch between the two OS without having to reboot each time. Unfortunately all the Virtualization softwares I have looked into, are designed for 64-bits. I tried a few of them and I invariably get a message that I cannot install because a 64-bits platform is required.
I have been able to install only an older VMware app. ( v. 5 or so) It did go in. and I was able to create a VM box by following the instructions. However I hit a brick wall: when I try to install the CD from the optical drive, I do get the Windows Logo on the VB screen, but it stops there and I cannot install the virtual Windows 10. Why? How can I finalize the 3nd OS installation?
Thanks

VirtualBox is available as 32-bit edition, too.
It didn't help me
It would be helpful if you specified what virtualization applications you had used for this. I know for sure that there are virtualization apps that allow you to virtualize a 2nd OS (Windows 10) on 32-bit systems like yours. I suggest that you try using VMware 7 for this, as I have often used this piece of software myself, and I can say that this is the best virtualization software that I have tried for purposes similar to yours. I won't be able to test any other virtualization apps of this kind since I have a 64-bit operating system now, but I'm sure you will succeed.

Hello, I have a Micromax Funbook tablet with ICS running on it. It's got a 1.2Ghz Cortex A8 and 512MB RAM.
I wanted to increase my productivity, so I found some ways to run linux on android.
But now I'm confused and want to know which out of the three methods listed below, is the best and most efficient way to run linux on android:
1. Using the VPN
2. Using Bochs or QEMU
3. Using chroot
I'm not sure what is meant by "VPN", but the other two are vastly different.
Bochs and Qemu will emulate a CPU architecture, like x86. You'd most likely need this if you wanted to run something closed-source on Linux, since most commercial Linux software is compiled for x86 and not ARM (Cortex A8). It would be dog-slow doing this on a mobile device.
If you're just wanting the OS and open source software (KDE, Firefox, etc.), you'd be better off setting up a chroot. The software in this case would be communicating directly to the same Linux kernel that's running Android, so it would be much faster. It would limit you to using that kernel as well, which may or may not be a problem for your project. You'll need a distribution that is compatible with your CPU. I believe there's a Debian branch for ARM.
p.s. When I say "commercial Linux software", I should probably specify I meant commercial software compatible with GNU/Linux, because Android apps are also Linux software. Linux is the kernel. GNU or Android is the rest of the OS. Praise be to RMS and all that.
The VPN method

The VPN method is this(It requires three files: ubuntu.img, ubuntu.sh and ubuntu.sh.md5):
Make a folder named Ubuntu on your SD card and transfer them there.
Finally open up termial emulator and type "su" then hit enter
Next type "cd sdcard/ubuntu"
After that type " sh ubuntu.sh"
(ignore the warning) Then go and open up Android VNC.
Address: localhost ((or keep empty, it may work better for some that way))
Password: ubuntu
Port: 5900
BPP 24
You're all set!!

I think the VPN method is similar to chroot.
Bochs consumes high cpu
Hi,
I am using bochs to run tinycore linux on my Micromax Funbook Infinity, but it uses almost 89% of cpu. I there any way to lower the utilization? My device heats up fast.
Thanks
So , Hello everyone,
It will not remove or harm Android, it will just run Linux on top of android
This tutorial will guide you through installing Linux on mmx a116 with android side by side..
What is this all about?/Why put this on my device?
This projects aim is to bring a range of linux distros to your android device through a method known as 'chroot', see it has running a linux distro within a virtual machine on your phone (Although its not! its using native ARM ports and the Android kernel) . You can access this virtual machine and run it on your phone without causing any damage to your device, or having to overwrite anything. Why might you want this? well my apps are designed to make the install and set up process as easy as possible while still giving you some flexibility. Once you have the distro up and running then you can pretty much run and install any linux software you like (so long as there is a arm port or it is not architecturally dependent).
Wait this uses VNC why shouldn't I just VNC to a computer?
VNC is used to access the GUI as at the moment I have not yet implemented a native way of viewing the GUI. But the Linux distro itself is running within the phone and can be controlled via the terminal app so if your a seasoned Linux user you may never even want to use the GUI
What is Chroot?/How does this work?
"A chroot on Unix operating systems is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and its children" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot
This method of running linux distros with android has been around for some time. I have worked on my scripts to make the process more user friendly and give you far more options from the word go.
The scripts start by mounting the linux image file within the android file system and then mounts the sdcard and if you have it internal memory within the linux file system.
Chroot is then used to change the root directory to that of the mounted linux and a bash shell is then opened to allow you to control linux this is kind of like 'booting' the OS.
The likes of VNC and SSH are then set up when linux is 'booted' to allow you to connect to the GUI if you require it.
Note: This requires a lot of free space on sd cards(any)..atleast 2 GB ..
INSTRUCTIONS:
1-Go to play store and download 'Complete Linux Installer' and install it ..
2-if you have a custom or other kernel , you have to check wether it supports loop or not.So better be on Stock Kernel.
3- Now there are 2 ways to install and run distros(eg-linux,backtrack).One is easier but requires an internet connection on the phone.other is a bit difficult but can be done from PC also .
method 1 ( internet on smartphone )
Go to complete Linux Installer and select install guides and select the distro you want it will download and guide you further.(in the unzipping step , i recommend using a PC for it as its too slow on the phone.)
Method 2 ( using a PC )
Download the version and size of your preferable ubuntu from here -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Ubuntu/
After that, download androidVNC and terminal emulator from play store
now extract ubuntu.zip and place it in a folder called ubuntu on root of your SD card.Now you are ready to boot too ubuntu. select the launch menu from complete linux installer.
you will be redirected to terminal emulator . press n if you are asked to check boot.img from md5 as it gets stuck there. set screen size to 1280x720 after few seconds you will see a message [email protected] . this means you are succesful.
go to android vnc type in port option 5900 and password and username as ubuntu an color settings as 24 bit..
congratulations! you have booted to Ubuntu!:highfive:
Hmmmm.
That's not dual boot.:sly:
It runs Linux in VM.
Thanks!
-Dracula
And i don't see why anyone would want to do this, it's just killing your phone by overloading it with a Desktop OS in a VM!
Also perhaps providing credit to the person that did all the hard work might be a good idea .......
Oh and its not a VM guys, it uses chroot which means native ARM linux running with the Android kernel, within Android.
Hello,
I would like to know where I can get some info about installing Ubuntu / Debian 7 on my X86 tablet device.
Tablet uses an Intel Atom Z2560CPU.
If possible I would like any of the following possibilities:
Possibility one:
Run Android along with Debian (something like chroot)
Possibility two:
Erase Android from the device (currently installed) and make a fresh Debian install.
Possibility three:
Dual Boot with Debian and Android.
The hard part is that the tablet device doesn't have any kind of BIOS (at least one accessible to the user)!
I already tried multiple apps (to run Linux distro's) from the Play Store, but nothing seems to work.
Presently I have the machine with Android 4.0.4 rooted.
What do I need? Where can I find some documentation?
Thank you
It can also be some other Linux distro.
Thank you
Hello guys and girls,
today i downloaded the ARM version of Windows 10 Enterprise and wanted to try it on Limbo pc emulator (arm version), but the problem is i can't get it to work! i tried several settings but without luck. the only thing i get is a ''serial0 console'' message when it starts, so my question is: did i something wrong? can somebody get it to work?
i hope people take my question seriously, and check it out.
Every help will be appreciated!
O and btw this is the ISO i downloaded:
h.t.t.p.s://mega.co.nz/#!aoszTJ6C!xDAsrv-R4x3zxhORnFbSpwdX8TxLJmlqm9QSBjOCUI8
INFO: Windows 10 Enterprise [ARM64] (en-US)
16353.1000.170825-1423.RS_PRERELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_ARM64FRE_EN-US.ISO (3,51 GB)
And i used the Limbo ARM emulator that matches with my CPU, so x64ARM Snapdragon 625
Thank you very much!
The Limbo Emulator only has an "arm" platform emulate now, but win10 arm is arm64(aarch64).
And you need a bootloader of UEFI bios for the qemu.
Any other way to do this then?
~sincerely a user with an arm64 device
I have multiple answers. 1. The emulator isn't powerful. 2. Ask for a lightweight Windows. 3. Limbo wasn't made to emulate Windows 10.
I also tried emulating Android arm on it but it said "guest did not initialize the display."
I got edk2 implementation to work on limbo arm emulator, now I will try to boot woa iso

I have, but i still cannot disable secure boot.
With the tablet connected to the keyboard change the settings you require in the secure boot screen then press F10 on the keyboard. This allows the new settings to be saved. I have already tried MXLinux and Lubuntu with no joy so far. mainly autorotation not working or wifi. Good luck.
