As sapete I have already written two post on the argument, Acceleration 3D on VirtualBox and Habemus 3D, and to this point I have felt the need to organize this kind of notes in order to construct a complete guide and relatively easy I use. If you have read the post of which over and have a sure experience of virtualbox sapete that the architecture dl arranges of virtualizzazione previews a machine host, where resides “real” the operating system, and a machine guest with the virtual system. The trick is to try to put in communication the two arranges and to make so that “guest” it takes advantage of the host acceleration 3D. In order to make this we have need of vmgl in the first place, a software been born from the genius of a Canadian sviluppatore, of a script in order to create an interface host that allows the two blots some to communicate, of a series of small configurations on the two arranges a little and of patience.

Prerequisiti

In my case the machine host is equipped with Ubuntu Hardy Heron and the guest with OpenSUSE 11, therefore from now I will call to them respective hardy and suse.
On hardy installed all the necessary one for the compilation (make, build-essential…) the following packages: freeglut3-dev, libxmu-dev, libbz2-dev, zlib1g-dev, libssl-dev, libjpeg62-dev, libjasper-dev.
Continuations my guide on the Installation and configuration of Opensuse 11 on Virtualbox procastinando but the installarzione of the guest additions to after that of vmgl (the successive step). Also on suse it must install the necessary one for the compilation (make, GCC, gcc , kernel source…) the version suse of the packages of which over: freeglut-devel, xorg-x11-libxmu-devel, libbz2-devel, libopenssl-devel, libjpeg-devel, libjasper-devel.
Obviously there will be several dependencies to satisfy er which preparatevi to nstallare a beautiful one po' of roba.

This post wants to be the most possible guide exaustive on the installation and configuration of OpenSUSE 11 on VirtualBox 1.6.2.

Preleiminari operations

1. Download VirtualBox 1.6.2 from the site sun;
2. installation and configuration second mine at this point famous guide Installation and configuration of VirtualBox.
3. creation, through guided procedure, of the virtual machine “Opensuse 11” setting up the following parameters:
   Nome=Opensuse 11;
   System operativo=opensuse;
   Dimension of the memory of base=1024MB;
   Hard Disk=Opensuse 11 (to dynamic expansion, 8 GB).

It marks it the beautifulst one tutorial for Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1. As sapete Linux Mint is a distribution that in a short time has scaled the summits of the indices of approval of the customers, in particular of the migranti from windows. This probably because Linux Mint is distro that the more “retort” a desktop windows and is complete of all the software of which the customers they have need in order to make all the things more and also that they made with windows. The advantages are obvious: a sure system without restrictions, that it works also with dated hardware, and, obviously, absolutely free. Linux Mint 5 is based on Ubuntu 8,04 and has in its repo an exterminated series of packages (codec multimediali, Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, Skype, Google Earth, etc.) easy installabili, for a experience truly user-friendly also for “niubbi”.
The tutorial, composed from very 5 pages, it is truly complete and exaustive of the main aspects of installation and configuration of the distribution and, in spite of the English language, it is intuitivo and easy to consult. Indeed a beautiful job! You do not believe?

I have already spoken about winff, a graphical interface of ffmpeg a lot that is works them and intuitiva that introduces a series of preset, of formulations already preconstituted, that they render the conversion of the rows in the several formats simple. However because of the usual problems on codec the owners ubuntu nserisce in its repo a version “bad” of ffmpeg, which, as an example, does not have assets the codec for the conversion in 3gp for the cellular ones. To forehead of this ascertainment, and finding such difficulties in the conversion, the error of winff is: “unknown codec libamr-nb”, I have supplied to unload, through svn, from the site of ffmpeg the version “full” and to activate the supports libamr-nb, libamr-wb etc…
This the procedure:

1. svn checkout svn: /svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
2. cd ffmpeg
3. ./configure - prefix=/usr - enable-shared - libdir=/usr/lib - enable-liba52 - enable-gpl - enable-pthreads - enable-x11grab - enable-libamr-nb - enable-libamr-wb - enable-libfaac - enable-nonfree - enable-libmp3lame *
4. make
5. make install

Here that all it works.

* Naturally I have had to satisfy a series of dependencies otherwise to passage 3 I would have been immediately blocked with an error.
