Hi jose,
Greatly simplified, virtual machines, by design, provide a set of virtual hardware to guest OSes. That virtual hardware is configurable.
While your physical system may indeed have Intel graphics hardware, the guest OS will only see whatever virtual graphics hardware the virtual machine provides. I encourage you to read up on VirtualBox and the many configuration options it has. The Graphics Installer, when it is doing hardware detection, only sees what VirtualBox allows it to see, and it isn't seeing the hardware identifiers it expects.
I would encourage you to consider a dual-boot (Linux and Windows*) configuration to get the most out your hardware.
Full disclosure, we do not test the Graphics Installer in "guest OS" or virtural machine scenarios. The assumption is that users are using the Graphics Installer on the latest Ubuntu or Fedora on "bare metal".
Cheers
Hi,
I've installed an Ubuntu 13.04 guest in VirtualBox over a Windows 8 host. When I execute 'About this computer' in Unity this is the information displayed about Ghraphics:
Driver: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.2, 128 bits)
Experience: Standard
When I execute the Intel Driver Update Utility for Linux Systems, after clicking on the Next button I get the following error message: 'You don't seem to have an Intel graphics card, so no updates needed'. I'm a complete newbie in Linux, can you help me to update my drivers?
Thank you ever so much!
P.S. Sorry for my English but is not my native language.
