Fedora 24 on windows 10 is very slow upon VBOX guest addition installation

[jugla]

Hello,
Due to my HDD failure, I've to re-installed from scratch.

I have Windows 10 .
I ve installed VirtualBox 5.1.6 (last one).
Upon it, I've installed fedora core 24 .

==> it works fine.

Then I put the virtual box addition (I've to installed twice since I've forget to put kernel source code).
When I start the linux the login page is dramatically slow --> after it's fine.

My workaround :
- when Fedora has started up, ask to reboot the "virtual machine", then upon virtual box pop up window answer NO--> the login page appears
- type the password, ask to reboot the "virtual machine", then upon virtual box pop up window answer NO--> you enter in your account
-after it's ok.

except this it works fine.
KInd regards
Philippe

Hello,
It's to be exactely the same issue as the post VB 5.1.6 + Guestadditions super slow (again)

The workaround is to modify the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf :
by uncomment

Code: Select all

# WaylandEnable=false

Thanks grayfox

Kind regards
Philippe

Please test the latest 5.1.x Guest Additions from here. The problem should be fixed there. I think it's the same problem as ticket 15957.

Thanks Frank

I 've just tested the VBoxGuestAdditions_5.1.7-110849.iso (downloaded from your link).
The problem has been fixed.

Thanks! Moving to VBoxGuestAdditions_5.1.7-110861.iso resolved this issue for me. I'd been running Fedora 24 Workstation (Gnome3) guest (updated daily) in Virtualbox 5.1.6 (app & additions) on Win10 and experienced this after upgrading from 5.1.4 (tho I also had a Fedora kernel update about the same time). Updating the Additions has resolved this.
