[Discuss] Mythbuntu on VMWare slow

[aldo albanese]

The interface is slow via the vsphere client. When I get into the console, myubuntu almost does not respond to keyboard or mouse, it normally takes few seconds before I can even see the screen. Right now as of an example, I'm running the latest updates via the software updater but do only thing that I see is a white dialog that seems to be not doing anything.  When I try to close it I get the Warning message "The window might be busy and not responding. do you want to terminate the application? Software updater.  I hope this info is more helpful.  P.S. unfamiliar with virtio but I will google it right now.

I noticed that the app is very slow to respond, I have it set to 4 processors and lot of memory, it should go faster.  Not issues running Windows machines. I have installed the guest, there is any tuning that I may need to do to make it faster.


Are you using the virtio drivers for disk and network?

Can you characterize what "very slow to respond" means to
you?
