1) -------------------------------
I tried to install it, but indeed it failed, due to the security on my mac. I went to the FAQ, and it mentions
Installation of VirtualBox fails on macOS High Sierra/Mojave
Go to System Preferences => Security & Privacy
Click the ‘Allow’ button at the bottom.
Re-run the installer.
I would update this to:
Installation of VirtualBox fails on recent versions of macOS
Go to System Preferences => Security & Privacy
Click on the 'General' tab on the top left
Click the ‘Allow’ button at the bottom right ('Some system software was blocked from loading').
Select 'Oracle' among the developers not to be blocked; click 'OK'
Re-run the installer.
I failed because my sectury and privacy windows opens with the privacy tab selected, rather than the general one, so I had tried to grant virtualbox full disk access, but it wasn't helping, since I should have done first the general/allow step.
2) -------
On the ubuntu vm, would it be possible to have aiida lab and jupyter lab as icons on the left folder, where the Files, Chrome, etc.... applications are, rather than on the desktop background?
Chris:
Oh that’s annoying, I’ve got Catalina, and don’t recall having any issues.
What version are you on?
Nicola:
thanks! catalina - now it works, so it's just that I thought it was a privacy/grant full disk access issue, and instead it's a general/allow oracle one.
