Running SDK on Virtualbox, Welcome Screen not rendered

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I need to run Corona SDK, but I’m running Ubuntu on my laptop (which is not supported by CoronaLabs yet), so I’ve installed the Oracle Virtualbox and installed Windows 7 on it.

Before doing so, I tried running Corona SDK on a Windows 8 guest, but OpenGL (+2.1) isn’t supported on Windows 8 guests by Virtualbox yet, as I’ve commented on AskUbuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/441318/opengl-2-1-or-greater-on-oracle-virtualbox/442776#442776

Now, I’ve checked it and I have OpenGL 2.1 Chromium 1 (according to the GLView), and the SDK runs; nevertheless, the Welcome Screen is not getting rendered (it just shows a black screen), and the Corona Simulator Output states the following:

Windows simulator build date: Mar 6 2014

OpenGL Warning: WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_EXT & WGL_SAMPLES_EXT not supporteed!
OpenGL Warning: WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_EXT & WGL_SAMPLES_EXT not supporteed!
OpenGL Warning: WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_EXT & WGL_SAMPLES_EXT not supporteed!
OpenGL Warning: WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_EXT & WGL_SAMPLES_EXT not supporteed!
Platform: Droid / x64 / 6.1 / Chromium / 2.1 Chromium 1.9

I’m stuck here. Any help will be appreciated.

Would be interesting to see your reported Open GL Capabilities (CAPS) using this tool in the windows VM.

What video card do you have?

Corona SDK isn’t supported in virtual machines either.  They rarely give the access to the video card that Corona SDK needs.

My company would like to start developing with Corona - but we all use Debian Wheezy Laptops.

Ok, I tried to run corona with VirtualBox on Windows 7 64bit Professional, and got the same error like the thread starter.

I know, it’s not supported - but in the feature request it’s the most upvoted ticket (linux support). And with corona not running on my companies laptops, you are loosing money. We need VirtualBox or Wine support at least - if you not offer the SDK for linux.

As attachment, my GPU Caps Report.

I have some problem (use ubuntu in my NB). hope corona can support Linux! thanks.

Corona does not support running inside of a virtual machine. Linux is not something we plan to pursue.
