Also check to make sure you have exFAT filesystem drivers. Windows and Mac systems should have it by default. On Ubuntu, the packages required are ''exfat-utils'' and ''exfat-fuse''. |

| - | ==== Troubleshooting ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | === VirtualBox VT-x/AMD-V Error === | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | If, when starting the CIG16 VM, you see a pop-up similar to: | + | |
| - | >"**VirtualBox - Error:** VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests... require this feature and will fail to boot without it. | + | |
| - | >//__Close VM__// //__Copy__// //__Continue__//" | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Most likely, this means that you do not have hardware support for virtual machinges enabled in your BIOS (firmware on the motherboard). To enable it, you will need to edit your BIOS settings. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Starting your BIOS interface requires holding down a button while your computer starts up (i.e. if your computer is already on, you will have to restart it). Usually, while your computer is starting, there will be a prompt to press a button to enter the BIOS, though if your computer boots quickly, it may be hard to read. Some common buttons to hold down are: Esc, Del, F10, F12, and Enter. If you have trouble accessing the BIOS, try looking on your manufacturer's website for instructions. | + | |
| - | Once you are in the BIOS settings, you should look for the virtualization setting, sometimes called //Virtualization//, //Intel Virtual Technology//, or something similar. Try looking under a //Security// or //Advanced Options// tab. If you are able to find the setting, make sure it is set to enabled. Then save & exit, and restart your computer. You should now be able to run the virtual machine with VirtualBox. | + | === Troubleshooting === |
| + | - If too many users are logged in at once, the next time you switch users, a password prompt is requested. However, since no users have any passwords, one would not be able to switch users at this point. | ||
| + | - At the moment, due to inactivity the system locks. To disable this, go to settings -> brightness and lock -> toggle off the lock and set turn screen if inactive to never. | ||
| + | === Additional Links and Information === | ||
| + | - [[ https://geodynamics.org/cig/static/CIG16_Tutorial_VM.ova|CIG16 Virtual Machine]]: This VM is over 8GB and will take a long time to download. | ||
| + | - [[ https://geodynamics.org/cig/static/CIDER16_TutorialVM.ova|CIDER Virtual Machine]]: Contains only HC, Underworld, Burnman software packages, as well as software for seismic inversion and plotting. | ||
| + | - [[ https://geosys.usc.edu/projects/seatree/wiki|SEATREE]]: Software package that provides GUI access to multiple solid earth computational tools. | ||
