Virtualbox freezing - host 100% cpu - guest window not responding

zidarsk8 · 2014-07-20 14:07:37

I really don't know what else to write here,

Installing ubuntu as Vbox guest, everything is fine, then if i install guest additions it freezes, and all I can do is delete the VM.

Aborting the frozen VM, and running it again will freeze at "starting" with progress bar on 0% and I can just kill it with "pkill VirtualBox".

Now I really need some VMs here for testing various things and this is a big problem for me.

Any help would be appreciated

You can use KVM, XEN or LXC built natively into the Linux kernel for better performance than VirtualBox.

Thanks for the hint, but that's really not that helpfull. I still need to have VirtualBox running.
