Installing Linux in virtual box 4.0.8 is too slow.

[vicke4]

Hi i tried to use Linux guests in my virtual box.I'm using iso files to install a guest into virtual box.yesterday i installed Ubuntu 11.04.that installation was too slow.it took 2 hours for full installation.same with other Linux distributions.how to speed up Linux guests installations?and one another problem Ubuntu11.04 unity is not working for me.

Following is my system information:

processor:Intel core i3
ram:2Gb.

Following is my system information:

processor:Intel core i3
ram:2Gb.

not enough information: please post a VBox.log
it can be found in the VBox GUI main window ("Oracle VM Virtualbox Manager") machine -> show log

[vicke4]

sorry for coming late i can't post my log because of limit problem i have uploaded my log file(notepad file) in the below link.please download and see this

One another problem i can't install openSUSE 11.4 in my virtualbox.

[fixedwheel]

VT-x hardware virtualisation is not enabled: for better performance you should enable in the BIOS of your computer (for my HP notebook its fond here and this may be valid for yours too: at boot time hit ESC, F10 to enter BIOS -> System Configuration menu -> Device Configurations -> Enable/disable virtualization technology)


what error message(s) do you get with opensuse 11.4?

[vicke4]

My virtualization technology is on.but it is locked.there is a software is available for windows named SecurAble(it will test our 64bit compatibility,hardware D.E.P and hardware virtualization)it shows my hardware virtualization is locked on.can you tell me how to unlock my virtualization?i tried Hp mail support but that is not solved my problem.there is no error message in openSUSE installation.i can't install openSUSE that's all.i can't begin the installation.
ed my problem.there is no error message in openSUSE installation.i can't install openSUSE that's all.i can't begin the installation.

there is a software is available for windows named SecurAble(it will test our 64bit compatibility,hardware D.E.P and hardware virtualization)it shows my hardware virtualization is locked on.can you tell me how to unlock my virtualization?

did you enter BIOS Setup and have a look there?
how to go with your HP 4520s is exactly the same as i already wrote how it is for my own HP 625
and see your HP User Guide Chapter 13 "Computer Setup" - if you don't have you can d/l here

ed my problem.there is no error message in openSUSE installation.i can't install openSUSE that's all.i can't begin the installation.

some more information please... openSuse 32bit or 64bit? screenshot?

[vicke4]

Yes i entered into my bios and on the hardware virtualization.but it is not working.can't enable unity in Ubuntu and my Linux installations is too slow.how to know my virtualization status(on or off)?but that software says(SecurAble) it is locked on.next yes openSUSE simple it stays with loading.it is 32bit os.if you need a screenshot I'll give it to you.f you need a screenshot I'll give it to you.

Yes i entered into my bios and on the hardware virtualization.but it is not working.

you may need to pull out the notebook battery after enabeling "virtualisation" in BIOS. Sounds strange but sometimes it is like that

can't enable unity in Ubuntu

install the guest additions, but Unity needs accelerated graphics hardware: don't know if it even works

how to know my virtualization status(on or off)?but that software says(SecurAble) it is locked on.

then its probably locked/not working, see if pulling the battery does

You can as well see in the VBox.log:

next yes openSUSE simple it stays with loading.it is 32bit os.if you need a screenshot

hmm... first lets get "virtualisation" working

[vicke4]

Battery removing trick is not working.i saw the followin log in vbox.log

Code: Select all

00:00:01.533 HWACCM:VT-x/AMD-V init method:LOCAL
00:00:01.533 HWACCM: VMX enabled!

is my vitualization working?what to do next?

Code: Select all

00:00:01.533 HWACCM: VMX enabled!

is my vitualization working?

yes!

its working now

what to do next?

did you already install guest additions in Ubuntu? http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=15679

[vicke4]

Yes I've installed.But a solution to openSUSE installation problem?

[fixedwheel]

But a solution to openSUSE installation problem?

post a VBox.log

you can post as attachment (no mediafire whatever needed) see two tabs below text input field: "Options" and "Upload attachment"

[vicke4]

all are working good.thank you.one another doubt can i enable desktop effects in Linux and aeropeek effect in windows?

[fixedwheel]

enabled VT-x and Suse is ok?

can i enable desktop effects in Linux and aeropeek effect in windows?

for Linux desktop effects see "3D acceleration" in the VBox guest display settings. Windows aero not yet implemented AFAIK
