Configuring LilyDev in VirtualBox
- In the settings for the virtual machine, set the network to Bridged mode to allow you to access shared folders when using Windows hosts.
- Set up any additional features, such as ‘Shared Folders’ between
your main operating system and LilyDev. This is distinct from the
networked share folders in Windows. Consult the external documentation
for this.
Some longtime contributors have reported that ‘shared folders’ are rarely useful and not worth the fuss, particularly since files can be shared over a network instead.
- Pasting into a terminal is done with
Ctrl+Shift+v. - Right-click allows you to edit a file with the text editor (default is Leafpad).
Known issues and warnings
Not all hardware is supported in all virtualization tools. In particular, some contributors have reported problems with USB network adapters. If you have problems with network connection (for example Internet connection in the host system is lost when you launch virtual system), try installing and running LilyDev with your computer’s built-in network adapter used to connect to the network. Refer to the help documentation that comes with your virtualization software.
