I enjoyed using the product for years, but when you turn your back on your customers, it is time for me to say goodbye.
CHANGE DISPLAY RESOLUTION MAC OS X VMWARE SOFTWARE
Well, I would gladly use VirtualBox but when VirtualBox turns it back on its end users, I chose to go elsewhere to find vm software that works even though it will cost me money. My last straw was a moderator essentially saying to bad, so sad, sucks to be you, we cannot duplicate the problem. I tried several recommendations to no avail. No solution from the forum monitors or those who did find a fix or at least something to help make the problem marginally acceptiable. I reported the same problem on two separate Apple products - an iMac and MacBook Pro. However, I have read many and find two common themes: 1) Multiple people all reporting essentailly the same issue, and 2) someone or more replying that the problem is not repeatable, and, to me blaming the use for the problem.
I have not read every post in this thread. Explain to me why that's not a P0 bug? LostVector Posts: 3 Joined: 8. What this boils down to from an end user use case is "Linux guest desktops are broken on Mac hosts". Ubuntu Desktop aka Linux on any modern Mac host is unusable due to some sort of non-linear scaling in performance and display resolution introducing massive UI lag. as if we really needed a reference point. 5.x worked much better, so it's clearly a regression. I've never seen dragging a window take multiple seconds be considered normal.
I've been using virtualization off and on since VMWare in the 90's and have been using PC's since the 8086, so I know what to expect and I'm perfectly tolerant of less than optimal performance. 6 pages of people complaining about a huge legitimate BUG being dismissed as fools and idiots who just need to learn how a computer works. Yeah see, I expected this response based on what I've seen in this forum. If you can't accept that then maybe you should be using dual boot instead of a VM. And in particular if you stretch the capabilities of the hardware simulation (let's say by using 4K graphics and probably not tuning the graphics and CPU settings properly), then you can expect reduced performance. Personally I don't see the mystery: virtual hardware will always perform worse than physical hardware. The more normal definition is "failure of a documented feature to work as intended". Thanks, that wasn't a definition I was previously familiar with. Mpack wrote:Ok, so you define "bug" as "failure to perform to my expectations". Mac's with retina displays have been the standard for years. I'm also frankly shocked a bug of this severity could be left open for so long. This solution should be stickied until the fix is in. This has been a problem for YEARS and made Ubuntu on MacOS hosts nearly unusable.Ĭompletely rage inducing. Use Low resolution on the VirtualBoxVM.app and do not use any scale settings aka keep it at 100%.

Now in full-screen mode, with "auto-resize guest display" selected, on my 13-inch MacBook Pro screen the Ubuntu display settings show 1440x900 and everything looks good and works fast. I also reduced the display scale factor from 200% to 100% and selected the "VBoxSVGA" graphics controller.

I left the VB manager in full resolution. You need to right-click on '/Applications/VirtualBox.app', choose "Show Package Contents" and navigate to the "Resources" folder, as shown in the screen shot posted by 63BottlesOfBeer. Note that the "Open in Low Resolution" flag must be set on the "VirtualBoxVM.app" file, not on the VirtualBox manager. No need to lower the resolution of the entire Mac. System is no longer impossibly sluggish and audio no longer crashes even using multiple sources at the same time. The instructions from 63BottlesOfBeer on 27 Feb.
