You're doing something wrong! Are you sure you actually installed CentOS8 and Ubuntu18.04? And not running from a LiveDVD?IanL22 wrote:I also see it on a Ubuntu 18.04 VM.

Do not download the Guest Additions (GAs) ISO separately, it's a recipe for a disaster. Always use the GAs that come already bundled with your VirtualBox installation. See ch. 4.1. Introduction to Guest Additions.00:00:00.524065 File system of '/home/ian/Downloads/VBoxGuestAdditions_6.0.14.iso' (DVD) is ext4
You have assigned all your CPUs to the VM. The host is going to run low on resources, since VirtualBox cares about physical processors (cores), not logical ones (threads). Just check the link for your CPU above, and make sure you read the text in the "?" next to the "# of Cores" and "# of Threads" in that Intel page...00:00:00.548113 NumCPUs <integer> = 0x0000000000000004 (4) 00:00:00.703132 CPUM: Physical host cores: 4 00:00:00.703490 Full Name: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz"
Thanks for that! I'll check it out...arQon wrote:It's just "systemd-analyze critical-chain".
DKMS hasn't been used by VirtualBox since 5.0.0 was introduced. Only the forks required it...arQon wrote:or DKMS

Try the User Manual. It's online: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html or you can download a PDF version. The first few sections should get you started.Christian T. Tennyson wrote:Could you please guide us about the Virtual box and how can we use it?
