Hi all,
I am having some issues with VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 8.04 (KDE desktop) machine.
Trying to install Windows XP in a virtual drive and it all goes well then all of a sudden it is as if the 'CPU' in the Virtual machine stops working for about 5 minutes at a time. Each 5 minute stint is broken up only by about 10 seconds of activity. (i.e. when Windows setup said it had 3 minutes to go it actually took about 45 minutes!!)
During the periods which it appears unresponsive the little green 'light' on the Virtual harddisk indicator is static. During the short periods of activity, this 'light' flashes between red and green quickly.
I deleted the entire virtual drive and created a new one but after the installation appeared to be going smoothly for a fair while it then started to grind to a halt again.
Anyone know of this problem?
thanks
Aaron
