Fedora Lagging in virtual box

Post by Peter Jerald »

Hi,

I installed virutal box, installed fedora on top it , then as you instructed in site I installed Guest Setting. while installation process, I didn't get any single warning from system.

But,

When I started using fedora, i felt its not running properly. Means, when I typed a word after two seconds it appears on screen. Even mouse pointer moving slowely. I feel like working on single core machine.

I used to work on ubuntu on same virtual box. Ubuntu pretty cool and works like linux server. I installed all high end softwares working smooth and no lag but fedora give me trouble.

Here is my machine configuration,

Processor : I3 Quad core
RAM : 4 Gb.
OS (Virtual box) : Windows 7 64 Bit OS.

Please provide solution to fix this issue.

Regards,
Peter

VirtualBox VM 4.3.6 r91406 win.amd64 (Dec 18 2013 17:12:34) release log
00:00:29.248709 Guest Additions information report: Version 4.1.22 r80657 '4.1.22'

The 4.1.* guest additions are too old to support Fedora 20 Install the ones that come with your 4.3.6 version of VirtualBox.

Also remember to check that 3D acceleration is enabled in the guests display settings.

Run this in the guests terminal and post the results.

Code: Select all

To Install the virtual box settings, it requires additional libraries. I found the below link, saves my time.
