Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Virtualbox and lubuntu-natty-alpha-20110228-i386.iso
Thanks Jonathan, I followed your settings and it booted. I use OSX 10.5 and VB 4.0.4. In VB went to Settings - System - Motherboard: chipset to PIIX3 is the default (left it that way), l set/checked the Enable IO APIC checkbox as you suggested (it was unckecked by default), then under System - Processor the Enable PAE was unchecked (left it that way), then under System - Acceleration unchecked the Enable VT-x/AMD-V (it was checked by default).

Even with hardware virtualisation I think the experience would non to good and resulting in a lot of disk thrashing to swap.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] virtualbox
Hi, As far as I recall, it is suggested that you have at least 1GB of RAM to run VB, as you need to allocate RAM solely to that programme and then the system you wish to run. I was recommended to have 2GB to allow for the overheads, using less than 1GB can really thrash your swap area, and even with how lean Lubuntu is, you'd be pushing VB to have lubuntu, VB and a.n. other operating system all running within 512MB. The Community Documentation on VB can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox Regards, Phill.

Not really, even if the CPU has the VT option you really need 1GiB of RAM to make it a pleasant experience. I’ve run VB on Lubuntu with Lubuntu in VB on a 2.4GHz P4 with 1GiB of RAM and it was slower than running Lubuntu on an old 266MHz machine, very jerky and stuttering. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
