[[!toc levels=2]] Status ====== 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 Autorun Tails in Windows ======================== See [[todo/autorun_in_Windows]].
