JamBrain: Dairybox setup clarity and fail for Windows 10

I realized I don’t have any working linux install since one of my computers broke down so I tried on windows. I’m not as familiar with doing fancy stuff in windows either.

Unclarity

The part here https://github.com/ludumdare/dairybox#windows-notes- isn’t clear on where it applies.

It is obvious it isn’t needed with git and cloning, and the other installs in the list is made not in terminal so when do I need to run as amin? That is except for point 4 and that one doesn’t have any asterisk and didn’t work in admin.

Fail

I get this when trying to boot the VM

==> default: Booting VM...
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["startvm", "b76cbcde-1248-4aac-8687-aec7bd5d3502", "--type", "headless"]

Stderr: VBoxManage.exe: error: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component ConsoleWrap, interface IConsole

I could not install vagrant in Bash on Ubuntu on Windows either due to ruby-issues.

This is it Mike, I was confused about the initial instructions about the www folder so I didn’t clone it into the www of dairybox and then I transplanted the files in there and messed everything up. Will clone both repos and see if it works then.

It works!

So to sum up. It was all about that missing bios fix. But it would perhaps be nicer if each os had a separate step 0 to be more clear about what to do when.

It’s possible your system isn’t configured for virtualization (based on the error you posted). Its possible this is the issue https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33304393/vt-x-is-disabled-in-the-bios-for-both-all-cpu-modes-verr-vmx-msr-all-vmx-disabl
