amd64 or i386? VirtualBox can't start client VM

linux virtualbox 64bit i386

You are running an amd64 kernel on an amd64 processor (x86_64 and amd64 are synonyms). You are running an i386 distribution. In other words, you are running 32-bit binaries with a 64-bit kernel. See Linux command to return number of bits (32 or 64)? for some background.

On Linux, you can run i386 executables on an amd64 kernel, but not the other way round. So you could install an amd64 VirtualBox binary, however it cannot come from your current distribution, which has only 32-bit executables and libraries.

An i386 VirtualBox binary can run an amd64 image, but only if your processor has CPU virtualization extensions (Intel VT-x or AMD-V). If it doesn't, you need to run an amd64 VirtualBox, which you can install independently (but you'll need to have all the libraries that the VB executables require) or in a distribution that you install in a schroot.

Below is an exceedingly simple HTML page.

1) I would like to add a menu across the top, which means that the position of that edit box may have to change(?) or must it? Is the text box positioned relative to its enclosing div (which will follw the menu's div)?

2) I want to add more form elements, and position them precisely, with coords relative to the start of the form, just after the menu (I am generating the HTML programatically, if it helps to know that; for instance, I can add a fudge factor).

3) and after the last of those I want a submit button, which is always guaranteed to be at the bottom of the page, no matter how many input elements I add in the middle (so, perhaps wrap the form's controls in a div?

  maybe first you need to add more info of your machine: take a look a this askubuntu.com/questions/47623/…

Sorry, I can't let the browser decide. The HTML is generated by a windows based program and I need WYSIWYG - the browser must mirror exactly the form designed in the windows program, but with a menu across the top.

Sure, I'll read up on it (again - just can';t seem to get my head around it :-) I just thought that there would be an off the shelf solution for something so simple. +1 for taking the time to reply. Hmmm, could you rework the example to make it work? It would get you the question.

I have reinstalled Debian OS with the amd64 DVD, and now it's okay!
