Hello,

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 through Virtual Machine. I absolutely love the OS so far and it's proven to be very useful. I have one complaint however: it is very slow. Opening programs, minimizing windows, switching between windows, etc is all quite laggy. I think it's a Virtual Machine problem because I tried Ubuntu 10.10 with Wubi beforehand and it ran perfectly fast (except I couldn't get a network connection). Does anyone know of a way to improve the performance through the VM?

Have you allocated sufficient RAM and video memory to virtual machine ?

I don't have access to my machine but I believe I allocated ~20GB of memory. I think I selected 2000MB for video but I can't remember for sure.

bump. I'd really appreciate it if I could get this issue solved sooner rather than later.
