The [[design document dedicated to virtualization
|
|
|
support|contribute/design/virtualization_support]] contains notes
|
|
|
about the already working bits in this field.

## Tails as a VirtualBox guest
|
|
|
|
|
|
The VirtualBox 4.x guest utilities, X11 drivers and kernel modules are
|
|
|
installed inside Tails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What works:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the option to integrate the guest windows inside a X11 desktop
|
|
|
* kernel modules are loaded at runtime
|
|
|
* X11 auto-detects the VirtualBox video and input drivers
|
|
|
* sharing folders between a GNU/Linux host and a Tails guest
|
|
|
* mouse integration
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since we want to support the "Tails as a guest inside Windows"
|
|
|
usecase, we need to test:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* desktop integration inside Windows
|
|
|
- Win7 SP1, VirtualBox 4.0.4 r70112: mouse integration works
|
|
|
flawlessly
|
|
|
* filesharing between a Tails guest and a Windows host
|
|
|
|
|
|
> No bug report about it for a while, let's close this task.

## Tails as a VMware guest
|
|
|
|
|
|
Seems to work fine inside VMWare Player 3, using the ISO as the
|
|
|
guest's CD-ROM, with the 'Debian 5' Guest OS preset.

Warn users when running inside a VM
|
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the work [[has been done|contribute/design/virtualization_support]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
Left to do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [[todo/warn_users_when_running_in_a_non-free_VM]]
|
|
|
* when running inside a VM within a non-free host OS, emphasize the
|
|
|
pseudo-security situation; seems almost impossible, let's forget
|
|
|
about it
|
|
|
|
|
|
