===== Setup Virtualbox =====

Example for Tektronix RSA603A.

==== Host: Ubuntu - Guest: Windows 10 ====

=== Install Virtualbox ===

  sudo apt-get instal virtualbox

:?: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms :?:

  sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11
  sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ext-pack

For USB 2.0/3.0 access:
  
  sudo gpasswd -a <username> vboxusers
  
Do reboot.

=== Install Windows 10 in Virtualbox ===

  - Download Windows 10 ISO.
  - Create Windows 10 VM. (VM Diskspace > 40Gb recommended. Tektronix SignalVU alone needs 17GB of space for installation) 
  - Create in Virtualbox a virtual CD drive. Must be SATA1. Load Windows 10 ISO.
  - Deaktivate Network
  - Start VM, Win 10 should be starting installation.
  - Follow instructions and wait for end of installation.
  - From Virtualbox menu choose "Insert guest additions CD"
  - Open File Explorer in Win 10. Choose guest additions CD and install guest additions.

=== Install Tektronix SignalVU ===

  - In Virtualbox, setup a shared folder. (For example for SignalVU installation files.) Possibly installation can't be started from shared folder. Then copy files to some local Win 10 folder and start installation from there.
  - Install SignalVu + TekVisa and reboot Win 10
  - Connect RSA. Possibly with selected USB filter for RSA and Win 10 reboot, Win 10 doesn't start anymore. Then don't choose the USB filter.
  - Start SignalVU. Possibly SignalVU tries to detect RSA USB connection, which is for some reason deactivated in Virtualbox after start up of SignalVU. Workaround: while SignalVU trys to connect, activate the RSA USB connection in Virtualbox again.


=== Remote Access ===

Check installed extensions

  VBoxManage list extpacks

  - For RDP access the **Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack** is necessary. It doesn't support VNC.
  - For VNC access the **VNC** extension pack is necessary. This is a not officially maintained extension with some flaws. {{https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#otherextpacks|For VNC access a password must be set}}:

  VBoxManage modifyvm VM-name --vrde-property VNCPassword=<password>
  
Only one extension can be used. It can be switched with e.g.:
  VBoxManage setproperty vrdeextpack "Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack"
  
  
More details and help about configuring the remote access can be found in the {{https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html#vrde|VirtualBox manual}}.
