Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 Tribe 3 working

Tribe 3 alpha of Ubuntu Gutsy is working fine under Virtualbox 1.4.0.

I had to specify these things:
Ram: 512
Video Ram: 16
General>Advanced> uncheck ACPI; check IO APIC

and installed with the alternative CD. You might have to experiment with the ACPI checkboxes to see what works for you. Hope this helps,

Update:

I had a couple of problems installing from the Tribe 5 Alternative CD. I suggest using a previous Tribe cds and installing/updating.

Hi
Installation works Ok for tribe 5 but I have problems after I installed the guest Additions, then on restart it freezes and give this error:
..
running local bootscript (/etc/rc.local) [ok]
then it freezes.
I tried your UNCHECK ACPI
CHECK IO APIC
and it did not help.
Actually I had this exact same problem in Tribe 4.

I avoided the guest additions installation. Seemed to work ok without it.

I coul install Gutsy Tribe 5, but I had too problems with the guest additions. That should be fixed till final release :/

The guest additions seem to mess up the xorg.conf and the hardened X tries to start X all the time, which wont work. After fixing my xorg.conf, I could see the GDM login screen. But when I logged in, it behaves strangely. It doesnt really crash, but I end up again in the Login screen, gnome wont load. I couldnt find anything useful in the logs, but had'n so much time to investigate.

Maybe it's also the Xinerama setting as in my case: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=1511
