Small correction. You do not have to install the guest additions (in the guest) to be able to use USB, but they will make your guest run smoother.
Plus you do need to be in the vboxusers group on...

Oh and I believe you ment pixmap not bitmaps. But either way I am very happy with the results myself. Not for the casual user but it is very powerful.

Well that's according to you. As I said 2D is as fast as anything I have seen. Add 3D with compiz it is slower. What I see is from actuall use so take it for what it is worth. Use it or don't. I...

x11vnc works well. You need to manually configure it but once you have it worked out it is really fast. Unity 3D is of course slower over remote no matter what you use because of the heavy compiz. ...

MAC address changes in Linux forces a new eth* but you can either edit the "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" or you can delete the rules and Linux will configure it on the next boot.

@darvishjo,
As the error message indicates major upgrades require you to remove the previous one. Your guest/guests should not be lost as they are not stored in the same location.

As for the...

You might want to try with the execute disable bit "disabled" in the bios.

The mini toolbar seems to have a mind of its own sometimes. Have you tried the host+home hotkey to see if it opens the menu for you?

The only other issue I can remember that caused XP to hang at shutdown was the audio driver. Older versions (like the one you have) were helped by switching to sound blaster or disabling the sound...

Where is this *not* recommended? I use Windows 7 as a guest and it is as fast as any other virtual machine.

Actually you don't need the guest additions for USB. You need to install the Extension Pack if your VirtualBox version is => 4.0 and be sure to place your user name in the vboxusers group on the...

There was an issue with the absolute pointer device being active in the guest settings that would cause this issue. You can disable that if you have the guest additions installed (in the guest) and...

If the system (host) does not support VT-x/AMD-v that section will be grayed out for the user. The solution is don't try to install 64-bit OSes or 32-bit OSes that need the VT-x/AMD-v feature since...

try this:
sudo iotop -o
Then watch to see what it popping in and out.

Run iotop and see what is r/w to the disk. It has been around for some time.
Here is the one that is affecting me.

My experience with upgrades are not good at all. I did upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and started having all kinds of issues. I finally just installed new and 99% of my issues went away.

Now back...

Sorry, I finally found it and have been rather busy and forgot to post the fix. But I appreciate the help. I still wonder why the blacklist no longer works though.

Thanks bodhi I will of course use this tool as I have in the past. Right now though I am leaning to zombies. I am seeing several (up to 7 or 8 ) untitled icons at shutdown only while Ubuntu is...

Well I am getting closer to finding out what the cause is. After the memory has gotten up over 1.6GB I usually log off and back on to regain the lost memory. I see some zombie programs in the tint2...

I was not running a VM myself. I noticed this with various apps like the CD burning software, nautilus, and various built in apps. The "top" list continues to grow while using. Another thing that I...

Really! Does no one know how to regulate the notify-osd? I know the blacklist worked in 11.04 but I can't get it to work in a new clean install of 11.10. I even tried an update to 11.10 with the...

I am seeing this as well. A clean boot starts out at approx. 600MB and as the day goes on will creep up to 2GB of memory used (not cache but real memory).

After checking it appears that when you...

Actually I solved this issue by installing x11vnc instead. Since Unity and Gnome3 use accelerated and or compositing the client would not be able to use or even see most of the remote desktop with...

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and all seems to be going along well with Unity and Gnome3, but I do have a question that I can't seem to find an answer for.

I have a background slide show (wallch) which...

Why not set your unity side bar to auto-hide then and only access it when you need to. Add tint2 so you can see your running progs at the bottom. You can also add tint2 to your startup programs and...
