Hello,

I have set up a VM under the current VirtualBox (developer environment for my systems), but the machine is so lame that it is almost impossible to work with it.
Log-File: What could be the reason for this?

Thanks in advance.

Reduce VM CPU cores to 2. I would also reduce RAM to 8192MB (i.e. try not to use more than half of a host's available RAM).

Increase graphics RAM to 128MB.

Uninstall the Ubuntu fork 6.1.0 Guest Additions and install the correct official ones (6.1.16). Then consider enabling 3D acceleration.

See where that takes you.

OK I will give this a try tomorrow.

How to deinstall this guest things and install the other needed?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don't use Linux myself so I can't offer tuition. The GAs installation procedure is described in the user manual.

I will test it tomorrow and give feedback thanks

I have now done:
- Reduce VM CPU cores to 2.
- Reduce RAM to 8192MB.
- Increased graphics RAM to 128MB.
- Guest Additions (6.1.16) was already installed.

I hope this helps.

Thanks.

Not according to the log that you provided. The log clearly shows GAs from the 6.1.10 Ubuntu fork.

00:00:25.460449 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 6.1.10 r138449 '6.1.10_Ubuntu'
00:00:25.478942 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Interface = 0x00010004 osType = 0x00053100 (Linux >= 2.6, 64-bit)
00:00:25.479621 VMMDev: Guest Additions capability report: (0x0 -> 0x0) seamless: no, hostWindowMapping: no, graphics: no

It's quite possible to have these bogus GAs installed at the same time as the genuine article, but I see no sign that you did that either, so I don't know what makes you believe that the official 6.1.16 GAs are already installed.

If i download this:
https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... ox-extpack

And try to install it, it says me that this packages is already installed ?

That is the extension pack, a host plugin. We were discussing the Guest Additions, which is another feature entirely. Also no separate download is required. Instructions are given in chapter 4 of the user manual.

Ah, I understand, but where can I find that version to install in the guest?

Or how to simply update this in the guest? I don't understand the user manual here.

You don't need to find anything: the Guest Additions are bundled with the software you installed.

There's also no reason not to understand the user manual: the online version can be translated by DeepL.

Hello,

I have installed the latest Guest Addition with the help of this tutorial:
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-instal ... in-ubuntu/

Everything went without problems.

lsmod | grep vboxguest: modinfo vboxguest: Here you can see that "version: 6.1.16 r140961" was installed successfully.

NEW LOGS: Let's see if everything runs faster now, anyway I can't set more now.

Thanks again.

Good, the correct GAs are now installed. Do however remember to eject the GAs virtual CD.

How can i eject the virtual CD? Don't find that option in VM-Window?

VirtualBox VM Menu > Devices > Optical Drives > Remove disk from virtual drive

OR

Use the Virtual OS's File Manager

OR (if the VM is already shut down)

Use the VirtualBox Manager > Select VM > Select Storage > CD Icon
