Help with installing VB, Ubuntu, Hadoop

[phx55]

Hello, I'm having a hard time installing VB, Ubuntu and Hadoop on my macbook.
My config: OS X 10.5.8
VB version: 3.2.24 r95036
Ubuntu version: 14.10
Hadoop: To be downloaded and installed

I'm new to this kind of setup. It will be of great help if you could help me with the installation.

Problems I'm seeing:
- System becomes very slow and freezing when I access Ubuntu
- It freezes completely and never comes to normal

Thanks,
Phxj

VB 3.2.24 is much too old to run Ubuntu 14.10

You should attach the vbox.log (compressed) to a message.

Which MacBook do you have? if you are running 10.5.8 it must be fairly old.

Thanks for your response.

Please see details of the mac:
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz

Let me know which VB and Ubuntu version would be suitable. I've attached the log file for reference.

Thanks,
Phxj

YW. To be perfectly honest. You don't have the RAM or the CPU to support running almost any guest much less a guest and Apache.

00:00:01.031 Host RAM: 2048MB RAM, available: 844MB

Normally one would set the RAM for a guest to half the available memory. You might be able to run 512mb guests but your CPU has no hardware acceleration support. so no matter what, guests would be slow.

You really need to think about upgrading your PC.

Sure. Thanks for checking the logs. I'll look at getting a new laptop, probably a windows one this time.

Have a nice evening...
