I do quite a bit of stuff in Virtual Machines, and do very sophisticated scripts on the VM. If you want me to test any functionally you need to post the code for it. I used the Beta version of Synergy for this test Version 1.4.2 For some reason I had to add Synergy to the firewall manually on the Virtual Machine but I suspect you won't have this issue Synergy detects windows firewall and adds itself in most cases. I tested this to see how the mouse and keyboard responded and it was working well. When you done simply move you mouse to the left until it returns to the host computer. Now you would have complete control over you media player etc. If required you could set up a AutoHotkey script on the virtual machine to capture any input you desired. Now with the the virtual machine minimized or running in the background any keyboard or mouse input is going to the virtual machine. Lets assume you set up Synergy so that Moving the cursor off the Right edge of the screen then activates the the virtual machine. Make the host computer the server for Synergy and the virtual machine the Client for Synergy. When you slide the cursor back the keyboard and mouse control return to the host. You set up Synergy so that when you move your cursor off a predefined side of your screen it automatically switches your keyboard and mouse to another computer. Synergy allows you to share one keyboard and mouse among several computers. But using 1.0, and no mods, also worked.You could use Synergy set it up on both your client and host. Had I modified the settings in my VBox VM, perhaps 2.0 would have worked. So it seems that for export, the later format is not necessarily a benefit. Exported to OVF using level 1.0, and those items were absent. Finally, after looking in the generated small XML file, I saw the items there which provoked the errors. I initially tried the replication, but ran into some unexpected issues, so elected to try the export approach.Įxporting is tedious, as the VM is large, and each export takes about an hour to complete. The choice was between replicating the functionality in a similar VMware image, or simply exporting form my fully functional VBox VM.
I have built a VM in VirtualBox which supports the migration of a very large project from an older to a much newer development environment, and now need it to be available to others.
I am also not a fan of VMware, but in my office, that puts me in the minority.
