You could try and remove compiz-gnome and get compiz-fusion instead. On my Xubuntu VM, there are no problems with it. You can also just leave compiz-gnome alone and run compiz from the terminal (or run application dialogue), which should not use the Gnome desktop effects but it's own system.

Also look in the /var/log/xorg.0.log and see if the drm section failed and vboxvideo is running without it.
Or post the log here (as an attachment)

I've attached my Xorg.0.log file.
Also, I've got a problem: I can't get Shared Folders to work.
In VirtualBox I created a shared folder 'foobar' to my Windows profile directory, I then tried to mount it:
Code: Select all
david@vaioubu:~$ sudo mount -t vboxsf foobar ~/host
[sudo] password for david:
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such file or directory
david@vaioubu:~$ sudo modprobe vboxvfs
FATAL: Module vboxvfs not found.
david@vaioubu:~$ sudo mount.vboxsf foobar /media/shared
mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such file or directory
Any ideas?

Try mounting a folder that is not in a protected environment. Like C:\share
The log shows that the effects modules are loaded and running. At this point I don't know what to tell you. I have 10.10 working with all of this.

I've been doing a bit of development in Eclipse, and the experience was very slow; there's like a 2-3 second lag between me pressing a button and the IDE then doing something.
I then noticed that the Ubuntu file manager reacted in a similar way, but not as bad; it's just really slow and laggy in response to mouse input.
I'm running it in Full-screen mode with VBox additions, Desktop Effects are disabled and I haven't made any changes to my X configuration.
Is this kind of performance to be expected, or is there something I'm overlooking?

When you're working in windowed mode, do you get the same behaviour?

Yes, in fact it's seemingly worse in Windowed mode rather than fullscreen.

Host Windows Vista, Guest Ubuntu 10.10 Server , Virtual Box 3.2.10.
How to configure the network so that both had a connection and through the NAT and the local Host-Guest? Make 2 network adapters? How to configure them in the Ubuntu Server 10.10
Sorry for my bad English

It means your VirtualBox Guest Additions has not been compiled properly.
You are missing
dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic
I have posted some diagnostic steps here:

I have also submitted a patch so that the maintainers can add to the run script.
