That was also my first thought, but the three virtual machines I have besides Sailfish runs smoothly, but just to be sure I have installed the latest version of virtual box with same result. En interresting detail, the desktop does not just freze, it is as if the desktop slowly looses -- something, until everything is static. The ability to open new windows/programs is lost almost the moment the installation reaches the "generating keys" phase, the mouse cursor is last to go. > > _______________________________________________ > SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list > To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
