I hope this is in the right area... Apologizes if it is not.
So I installed VirtualBox 4.1.10 on Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 11.10 (64bit) a few days ago. I enabled 3D support in VirtualBox and installed guest additions in ubuntu. It was great, super smooth. Window manager was snappy and I could move windows around no problem. CPU usage goes up a bit but it was very responsive.
user@user-VirtualBox:~$ uname -r
3.0.0-12-generic
Here is the problem. When I did all the ubuntu updates today, the responsiveness dropped completely. I re installed the guest additions but still terrible. I realized there was a kernel update, so i'm not sure if this is the problem
user@user-VirtualBox:~$ uname -r
3.0.0-16-generic
So, I re-installed the Ubuntu VM completely and installed guest additions. Everything 3D is good.
So, should I not do the updates? Has anyone experienced similar issues? Anyway to solve it for the new kernel? Let me know if you want some more information.
(I'm assuming it is something to do with the kernel but I guess it could be something else that gets updated)
