VM Extremely slow #57

Closed knmcguire closed 2 years ago

knmcguire commented 2 years ago

The VM image seems to be extremely slow these days, but no idea why that is exactly.. We recently updated packer, maybe that is due to that? Or we have to indicate in the instructions that people need to increase the recourses given to the VM from virtual box? Still to be figured out!

The USB sloweness was fixed by making sure that the crazyradio PA was selected at VM startup, with the extension pack already installed. Screenshot 2022-05-09 155140

Just to be sure, I also installed the guest additions by:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso

After that, it still tended to be a little slow for graphics, so these are other settings I did to make things better, although it still will be difficult to get exactly the same performance as on an native machine:
