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

Problem in reading from socket

When I write manually in socket, it works fine. I have created a python script that prints "Error" messages frequently. I will save the result in a file using: stdbuf -oL python my_script.py &>> my_file.txt and read the file from the socket: nc -lk 9999 | tail -f my_file.txt Every thing is ok, the socket will read data from file while the file is being updated on the background, But the problem is that my spark program doen't capture the "Error" messages. As a summary: when I write manually "Error" messages in socket, spark capture them, But it won't capture "Error" message generated by python script from socket. Actually the program doesn't work if I read file from socket in...
