Ubuntu and VirtualBox

Ubuntu 10.04, comes with VirtualBox 3.1.6_OSE, which will not work, please download the latest version.

Password for GENI account

The password for the GENI account is 'geni'. To change the password, click on the task bar on the top, on the right on the user 'geni', and choose the Change Password button.

Share a folder between guest and host

If you want to have a shared folder between your machine and the VM so that it's easier to transfer files during the tutorial, you have to do this before starting the VM. Follow these instructions. We have tried these instructions with Mac and Ubuntu. In Ubuntu the folder will be read-only for the guest VM.
