Comment on Ubuntu Linux in Virtual PC 2007 on Vista by Jesse Bethke

I highly recommend installing Ubuntu with the non-GUI installer. VPC can’t emulate 24-bit video which seems to be the default if you boot a live CD or use the graphical installer.

I have the live version and because of the mouse isssue discussed above I’m unable to click on the install icon to actually do the install. I need to be able to navigate to it with the keyboard, but haven’t had any luck. I should probably just go download the text based install version, but trying to avoid that as it will take some time and other will probably have similar questions.

Hi, thanks a lot for this info, but I am running into a problem on my Vista box (Dell laptop - brand new). As soon as I grab the Ubuntu iso and restart my vpc, it magically reboots my whole system — or crashes it. Have you run into this before? Any solutions?

Just what I were looking for!
However, I cant make it work for some unknown reason.
When I mount the Ubuntu 7.10 ISO image in Virtual PC 2007 i get to a menu, where the best option seem to be “Run or install Ubuntu”.
When I choose this, next thing that is shown is a error message of some kind, and it doesnt go further.

“isapnp: checksum for device 1 is not valid (0×89)”

Would sure appreciate some kind of advice, or yet better, concrete solutions to this problem if you could think of something?

Yes, on the client system it just emulates a simple 2-button PS2 mouse for maximum compatibility. You will see that if you install windows you also won’t get a scroll wheel.
Good news: you don’t need special drivers for anything.
Bad news: you don’t get all the features out of your hardware.

Hi Jesse, thanks for the post. Very useful. I still found an issue with the mouse under MS Virtual PC 2007: the mouse wheel does not work. Did you find this problem?

Jesse - why not put a graphic on any blog that breaks 1000 hits in a day? Like a flame graphic. Smokin’! That really is an achievement. 1000 unique individuals looking at what you wrote on a certain day. That’s what it’s all about man… that’s what it’s ALL about…
