Puppy Linux on Virtualbox

#1 Post by Â¥ Brutus Â¥ »

Hello guys!

I'd like to use Puppy from VirtualBox, then I booted a virtual machine with the latest Slacko (I also tried Lucid with same results); it works well, but after choosing Keyboard Layout and Time Zone I confirmed to restart the X server and VirtualBox crashed. I tried many times and everytime the application crashes at that point!

Is it a known problem? Is there a workaround?


Thank you very much for the help! :)

They both work for me, although Slacko is a bit slow on my old machine under Virtualbox

Do you have VX-T enabled?

Probably not as I don't know what it is... :roll:

but you have prompted me to look for the latest versions. Ta!

I mean:

VirtualBox->Virtual Machine->Settings->System->Acceleration->VT-X

Can you check how your virtual machine is setted?


Thank you so much!

My machine is too old for that. It is greyed out.
