Terminal is not working

Hi there! I’m working on Labs - Setup E-Commerce App - All-in-One. There seems to be an issue with the terminal as it is not connected with the server. How can I resolve this issue?

OK, you’re not hallucinating, that is all kinds of wrong. I’m going to check some more labs to see if it’s specific to that lab, but that is definitely busted

A work around, until we figure out what in tarnation is going on: I did the following:

I opened a second terminal using the tabs.
After about 5 minutes, I got a terminal prompt, but only on the second terminal.

I’m going to investigate this further, but that might hold you over until we figure this out.

First lab came up as well.

This has now been fixed; the terminal works immediately now.

Should I download CentOS server or workstation for Virtualbox machine to build local lab environment?

Server, unless you really need a GUI.

I have created a VM but when I start it, it aborted automatically.

mayoubaid44 · June 30, 2024, 3:48am

I get this error.

You need to enable virtualization in your BIOS, or Virtualbox won’t work correctly. This will tell you how to fix that.

I have successfully installed the VM but the login details are not working. I’m using the following details.

Username: osboxes
Password: osboxes.org

Try logging in as root?

Hi there! may I know why I can’t see the ip address of my VM to connect through ssh?

al1 · June 30, 2024, 12:46pm

From the terminal of the VM you should be able to run ip a

Check you have internet connectivity by running ping 1.1.1.1

Check DNS is working by running ping google.com

I’m getting this error while installing virtual box on mac mini M2.

al1 · July 1, 2024, 12:47pm

VirtualBox does not work on Mac Arm Chips. You can use UTM, multipass (for Ubuntu images) or get VMware Fusion for Mac.

mayoubaid44 · July 1, 2024, 1:49pm

But in the video they installed it on mac.

al1 · July 1, 2024, 2:37pm

So about 4 years ago Apple stopped using Intel x86_64 (amd64) chips in the their products and switched to what they call Apple Silicon which is basically arm64, not to be confused with amd64. You have one of the newer Macs with Apple Silicon, the M2. It does not support the x86_64 instruction set that VirtualBox needs to run - so it won’t run.

The video you are watching has an older Mac with an Intel x86_64 chip, not Apple Silicon like yours.

I’m working on Labs - Apache Tomcat. As you cab see the there is no bin directory inside /opt/apache-tomcat-8/ How can I run sudo /opt/apache-tomcat-8/bin/shutdown.sh command?

Do you mind starting a new thread for new questions please? Also provide a link to the lab you have issues with and we can take a look.
