virtualbox.org

Hey there !
I installed Linux on Virtual box , It works good but i cant do anything !
Cursor moving super slow .. opening anything taking forever . i cant work like that =(
Any help ?
Virtual box info :
Base memory : 1000 MB
Video memory : 12 MB

My PC on windows 7 Enterprise 2009 SP1
RAM 2 GB
Thanks

Please provide a VM log file: with the VM fully shut down, right click it, save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip, and attach the zip here.

when i try to show log i just have 5 choices ( VBox .. VBoxHardneing .. VBox.log.1 .. VBox.log.2 .. VBox.log.3 )
which one u want and how can i save it as a ZIP file =) Thanks

My instructions consisted of one sentence - try reading it all the way through. Google for how to zip things in Windows.

Hope that what u asked me for =( i really don't know

It's a miracle that it actually boots! From the logs:

00:00:03.096889 Host RAM: 2037MB total, 765MB available
00:00:04.959766   RamSize           <integer> = 0x000000003e800000 (1 048 576 000, 1 000 MB)
00:00:04.960537   VRamSize         <integer> = 0x0000000000c00000 (12 582 912, 12 MB)

As you can see, when you start the VM, you have 765 MB available and you assign 1012 MB to your guest (plus some overhead). Either lower the RAM requirements of your guest, close applications on the host or buy some more RAM.

2GB of host RAM is really going to hamper you if you want to run VMs on this host, especially when the host is Win7. It looks like you have an old (2008) GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L motherboard, which supports a max 4GB of RAM. I would fully populate it.

Also, your CPU doesn't support VT-x, which will prevent the installation of modern OS's (no 64bit guests of any kind, no multi-core to guests, no Windows 8.0 and later (even 32bit), not sure about Linux 32bit versions).

Basically, it's no wonder that your VM is slow.
