Having very slow perform when running Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 in virtualbox? It’s because Ubuntu can’t use graphics card for acceleration, ubuntu uses CPU for rendering graphics trough LLVMpipe. It makes running ubuntu in virualbox really slow.
To check if your Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04 guest is using 3D acceleration
Code:
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
You should see something like this
Code:
Not software rendered: no
Not blacklisted: yes
GLX fbconfig: yes
GLX texture from pixmap: yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program: yes
GL fragment program: yes
GL vertex buffer object: yes
GL framebuffer object: yes
GL version is 1.4+: yes
Unity 3D supported: no
If you see “Not software rendered” and “Unity 3D supported” both say no. This means Unity is using slow LLVMpipe.
To enable 3D supported, fist you will need to update linux-headers
Code:
uname -r
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Now insert vitualbox guest iso from devices and to install manually
Code:
cd /media
ls
cd username
ls
cd VBOX*
ls
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Insert vboxvideo to /etc/modules
Code:
sudo nano /etc/modules
Add “vboxvideo” at the end of the file
Reboot the machine
