Re: Virtualbox not running on Salix 15.0

Hello Didier, Wiped completely previous installation and run the installer once again, but unfortunately the problem remains. I am wondering if this can be related to the fact that the installer I am using is too old for the kernel running on 15.0 (VirtualBox-6.0.14-133895-Linux_amd64). I will try t...

Re: Virtualbox 6.0 on 14.2-Hosted OS'es very slow

Gapan,

As usual, you got it right! :D It was just a matter of changing the setting of CPU operation into the BIOS and now the VM runs flawlessly. Even the 64 bit systems now appear on the drill down list of VM options.
Thanks a bunch, that made my day :)

Virtualbox 6.0 on 14.2-Hosted OS'es very slow

Hello All, As the title says I have Virtualbox 6.0.14 installed on Salix 14.2 64 bit.

The weird thing is that...
