Docker container packages up the code of an application and all its dependencies so that the application can run unchanged in any environment. A Docker container includes everything needed to run an application: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, and settings. More about Docker here and here.
In Linux Mint, open a terminal and type:
I installed Windows 7 on a guest machine in Virtualbox on my Linux Mint 18 host.
Installation OK, activation OK.
Then I tried to upgrade this guest from Windows 7 to Windows 10 I encountered some problems which rendered my installation useless. While I was working with these problems I created some snapshots so I had a fallback if something went really wrong.
Since I now had a digital right for Windows 10 for this virtual machine I decided to put up a new VDI so I could install a fresh copy of Windows 10 on this. Version 20H2 worked as it should and now I'm happy.. :-)
But: What shall I do with the old (original) VDI-disk and the snapshots on it ?
The whole thing is installed on a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 gb M.2 disk and I want to save as much space as possible without harming my new VDI.
Any suggestions ?
Virtuabox version: 6.1.16 r140961 (Qt5.6.1) and both the Extension Pack and the Guest Addons are updated.
My dad has an older laptop that I intalled Linux Mint on a long time ago and he loves his Linux Mint. For Father's Day I got him an SSD but when I would get to the part of the installation where it needs to format the drive it would always give me an error and fail. A few times it did this after I swapped the drives out but now the computer will not even boot to a Linux Mint ISO USB or DVD with the SSD drive in because it gives an error saying that there's no hard drive detected. Upon further inspection I think I've found the problem and I think it's a hardware issue I just don't know what to do about it. The old HDD has 4 more pins off to one side than the SSD does so I don't think the SSD has a chance of plugging in, although I don't know why it was letting me get as far into the installation process as it did the first few times if it couldn't see the SSD anyway. Images attached, what can I do about this? Thanks.
