selenium drivers can not be loaded behind proxy you need to install them without a company proxy. If you are using a VM you need to use bridge networking (instead of NAT) without a proxy
create ssh keys as described here
git config --global user.name "firstname lastname"
git config --global user.email "firstname.lastname@company.com"
If your watch processing is breaking use following code to increase max_user_watches variable in linux as described here
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
use NAT on your VirtualBox Configuration
If you are behind a corporate firewall you can configure a central proxy on your VM. Because it is tedies to change all the configuration files once you need to work from home. I use for that tinyproxy and forward all request in VM to central proxy(tinyproxy).
install proxy
sudo apt-get install tinyproxy
After that you can edit following files to forward your request to local proxy (tinyproxy)
Edit environment: following file sudo nano /etc/environment and append afterwards use source /etc/environment to load your new variables.
http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888/
https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888/
ftp_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888/
no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"
HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8888/
HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8888/
FTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8888/
NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"
Edit apt: go to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ and create a file named 95proxies sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/95proxies and add those lines
Acquire::http::proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8888/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8888/";
Acquire::https::proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8888/";
If you get following error when you try to change to shared folder /media/sf_shared/: Permission denied
you need to add yourself to the vboxsf group within the guest VM.
Solution 1: Edit the file /etc/group. Look for the line vboxsf:x:999 and add at the end :<yourusername> e.g. vboxsf:x:999:<yourusername>
Solution 2: Run sudo adduser <yourusername> vboxsf
