Hi everyone
Host 12.1 2GB, 128 video=NVIDIA 6100 w 128Mb Guest 12.1 800Mb, 100 video, 3D accel KDE: unusable XFCE OK with compositor is ON but still v. slow.
M$ win7 guest w 640Mb, 64 video+2D/3D is almost as fast as the host.
I think this is to do with the graphics but can anyone give us any sort of comparison of what to expect?
Thanks, L x
I teach Linux at a Technical college and use openSUSE, running on virtual machines, on vmware and virtualbox 4.1.x, myself I use openSUSE as host on all my computers.
I've observed, that when running openSUSE 12.1, in a virtual machine, that on the first run, when akonadi, all the desktop search engines, and man pages etc. initialize on first run, the virtual machine runs very very slow, to the point of being non-responsive. Once everything is done initializing I shutdown akonadi, desktop search etc...., from that point on vm runs well.
Not sure this is the same issue as yours, all my host computers are using Nvidia, however I'm not using the 3d, stuff.
Thanks,
Tony
Hi Yes, I think I can say that we are passed all the initial first login stuff and also we are on XFCE. e.g. top gives: 1053 root 20 0 71816 26m 6700 S 1053 root 20 0 71816 26m 6700 S 5.3 5.4 0:21.03 Xorg 5.3 5.4 0:21.03 Xorg load average: 0.23, 0.34, 0.57 after the initial login with Xorg in the top three most of the time: 1053 root 20 0 71816 26m 6700 S 15.3 5.4 0:21.03 Xorg The strange thing is that it is more responsive with the compositor selected. Without it the screen redraw (e.g. desktop icons are not redrawn immediately) is painful. The amount of actual and video memory I give seems irrelevant. I don't think the Vbox 3D acceleration is working. How to check? Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
