Fedora Lagging in virtual box

[Peter Jerald]

Issue resolved now..... Follow the above post link. I would suggest, provide these steps in guide.

These show you are running software acceleration and that is why it is slow.

Attaching Guest installation logs with this post.

Frankly speaking, i am getting little lag not much like faced before. But still ....

I am not able work in my fedora box. I need red hat flavour OS for my one of the need. So I required this OS . Please help me on this.

While installing Ubuntu I didnt faced any trouble, like in guide i went through the installation. installation was smooth and working fine. I am not sure what went wrong with fedora.

So it looks like the guest additions are installed. What do you see if you run the following

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep OpenGL

Also post the guests log file ( as an attachment )

One other RedHat type distro that I like is Oracle Enterprise Linux. Fast, and none of the overhead of eye candy.

I have already posted requested above in above post.

[Perryg]

I asked because it is important.

The previous one shows gallium. you have since done some work to correct this, meaning it should have changed to chromium. This needs to be verified.

Also every time you change something that should improve the guest it is written to the log file.

If you are satisfied then no other data is required and the topic can be closed.

oh K I am attaching the requested logs.

I tried to enable 3D acceleration and start OS. After entering my os credentials , i am getting blank screen.

As you said, OpenGL is not updated to chromium

[Perryg]

Let's start at the beginning. The extra packages needed are listed below. Try to install them even if you think you already have.

If 64-bit guest

Code: Select all

yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel

If 32-bit guest

Code: Select all

yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-pae-devel

Now watch the screen closely. I need to know any error that shows.

Then I want you to install the guest additions again. Here again watch the terminal screen for any error and report back here.



Note: Fedora 17 has gone past its EOL so it may be that the packages you are downloading are not 100% compatible.

I followed your steps and reinstalled Guest settings. Again its not working as expected.

When i tried to download required packages. I am getting "No updates available". As you said they didn't provide support.

Attached logs for your reference. Let me install with Fedora 20 OS and will update you.

Thanks for your valuable help. Very much appreciated your support. Keep doing the same.
