Oracle VM not working anymore
Posted: 24. Feb 2015, 16:44
Good morning /evening.
I searched all over Internet and i couldn't find a suitable solution for my problem.
I 'll try to be the most explicit as I can.
So, I was using Oracle VM 4.3.6 with a Windows 7 Professional x64 and everything
were fine.I had three guest : Windows 7 x86 (for development purpose), Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (testing before switching from previous version).
The first two were working well enough, but with the third, I couldn't change the resolution of the Ubuntu 14.04.1's
Desktop. After some research, I found out it I had to upgrade to a recent version of Oracle VM, what I did by downloading and installing
the 4.3.20 version.
That's where the problems appeared. Everytime I launched a VM from Oracle main window, it would show a tiny
window in the top left corner with barely visible content. I could resize it, but switching to Fullscreen or Scaled
mode with Right Ctrl + F || C would crash the machine or just make it disappear. After few trials, I thought the VMs themselves
were faulty, so I delete them and tried to reinstall, but it didn't ever start.Also installed the 4.3.6 that was working first,
but even this version was bugging.
Then I reinstalled the entire host system with Win 7 Ultimate x64, and tried to install the Oracle VM 4.3.20, 4.3.22 and even the latest
test build as I speak but the same problem occur over and over.
Please help me find out what's wrong with my system, I kinda need a VM to sandbox many softwares as fast I as can.
Thank you fr reading, hope I'll get some answer.
