Revision history [back]

In general ROS programs run fine inside Virtual Box, except for programs which use hardware accelerated video. The effectiveness of accelerated video depends a lot on your setup, host and hardware.

The other thing to be careful about when working in a VM is the availability and connectivity of the networking. The problems are mostly about making sure that you have configured things right, not that it won't work.
