I used to have a windows 7 installation on my VM and after a while it became corrupted. I do not remember me doing something to ruin the installation it just stopped working (same thing happened to me when I had a ubuntu installation on virtual box on a windows os). Today I wanted to reinstall windows 7 on Virtual box on my Ubuntu machine and it hangs right after I press start. The processor also goes crazy. I have to turn off the machine from the button because I cannot do anything it is completely frozen.



So far I tried modifying the configuration of virtual box and reduce the storage and cpu cores that I allocate and I also tried other Windows ISO files, but still the same.



Any recommendations?

  • Does the same thing when I downgraded to 16.04 from 17.10 with Windows 10.

  • So is it the virtual box? Or the Ubuntu?

  • I really don't know. I installed Win 10 perfectly fine in 17.10, but it seemed 17.10 was buggy as hell so I rolled back to 16.04.

    I did not manage to solve the problem with VirtualBox. Instead I used qemu and virt-manager and created a virtual machine that way -> i followed this video: youtube.com/watch?v=Yh_3sgXtl0Q&t=656s

pylint3 and pip3 broken

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I have tried sudo apt remove --purge on various packages. I get the same when I reinstall. I have also tried reinstall using aptitude. This does not work. My current workaround is to run pylint3 as root, which works, but is bad practice. pip3 $ pip3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py", line 33, in vendored __import__(vendored_name, globals(), locals(), level=0) ImportError: No module named 'pip._vendor.pkg_resources' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip3", line 9, in <module> from pip import main File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pip.exceptions import InstallationError, CommandError, PipError File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/exceptions.py", line 6, ...

How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
