Memory Base

[andyripper]

Hi all! I have been in and out of the VB community for years. In my younger it was just too much to get, as I didn't want to screw anything up. This time around it's working great. I have two virtual machines. One for Tails, and one for Ubuntu. Tails I set 1gb ram and 8 GB dynamic storage. Then I have Ubuntu with 4GB ram and 16 GB storage. The storage isn't so much a problem as its a new machine and I have a TB. I have total of 8 RAM available. Things aren't at a standstill, and they are working on the host but not great. I would like to drop the Ubuntu RAM from 4 to 3 GB, but when I go to settings, it does not allow me to change the memory base. I mean I just installed it so I could technically delete it and re-install it, but before I do so, I would like to see if anyone here knows a way I can actually change the memory base after installation. If I can't find an answer by morning I'll just delete and re-make the machine. Thank you for your help.

If the vm is shut down, you should be able to change the memory by simply typing the new value into the box of the settings from the VirtualBox manager window.

nah it won't let me do it. it's in grey letters like its unaccessible. I still have to wait a few hours before I can post an img but i'll post it in bout 6 hours.

Then the VM has not been shut down. Suspended is not the same as shut down.

I got it guys,thanks for the help. For some reason I had to delete and re-install Ubuntu for some reason for it shut down properly.
