Arch as guest on VMware & Virtualbox: performance, lags and GUI issue

Hey everyone,

I'm experiencing significant performance issues with my Arch Linux as guest OS inside a virtual machine and I need some help resolving this as it has become more annoying as days go by.

Issue

  • Windows apps glitches and laggy when minimizing & maximizing but when in full maximizing mode there are no issues (this only occurs on Wayland WM).

  • Mouse pointers delayed input, lags, and stuttering.

  • Video playback from YouTube lags so badly that it is unplayable and glitching sounds.

  • Firefox & Librewolf lags so badly and I have to move to Chrome/Brave.

Temporary fix

  • I have changed the Window Manager (WM) from Wayland to X11 during login and this seems to have fixed the mouse lags, windows glitches (the pags still exist just minimal), and GUI issues.

  • Although, there are no options to increase the scaling from 100% to 125% and Cursor settings options such as Shake to Locate.

  • I have also installed Xorg related packages (xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-twm xterm) and added the modules into the mkinitcpio.conf as mentioned on this post and wiki.

Despite allocating what I believe to be sufficient resources, I'm encountering low FPS, mouse delays & lags, program windows stutter, and general lag. Here are my specs and setup details:

Host Machine Specs:

  • CPU: Intel i7-13700HX 16 Cores 24 Threads (Guest allocated 4/6 cores)

  • RAM: 16 GB (Guest allocated 4/6 GB)

  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Mobile

  • Host OS: Windows 11 Pro

  • Hyper-V: Turned off

  • Windows Virtual Machine Platform: Turned on

  • VMware Workstation Pro: Version 17.5.X

Virtual Machine Specs:

  • Guest OS: Arch Linux (latest)

  • 3D Acceleration (VMware & Virtualbox): enabled

  • Total Graphics Memory: 512MB/2GB on VMware and 512MB max on Virtualbox

Additional settings

  • Windows Hyper-V: disabled

  • Windows Virtual Machine Platform: enabled

Other images for those who need to know more:

Weirdly enough is that, using Fedora KDE for both Wayland and X11 works fine but not for Arch.

Has anyone else encountered similar issues or have suggestions on what might be causing this and how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Arch as guest on VMware & Virtualbox: performance, lags and GUI issue

Please post text outputs as text, not pictures . see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … s_and_code

I'll focus on archlinux guest running X on Vmware , as that's the combination that I expect will be easiest to troubleshoot..



The 4th pic looks like the output of glxinfo -B and shows you're using software rendering .

Please verify you have installed the programs mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware … figuration .

Also post xorg log, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General for info where to find it.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

And yes I can confirmed that xf86-input-vmmouse, xf86-video-vmware, and mesa has been installed successfully. And I manage to catch a glimpse about Wayland not being stable and supported in VMware, does this only for Arch or other Linux distros as well? Cause I can confirm that Fedora works fine-ish with Wayland as there is no option to change to X11 during login.

Can't answer that, you may have better luck with such queries on a general linux forum like linuxquestions.org .

Xorg log looks ok.
Post the output of glxinfo -B   #mesa_utils .

How are you starting X ?
Have you tried with a lightweight WM like openbox ?

For KDE : does suspending it's compositor (CTRL+ALT+F12 I think ) help ?

Re: Arch as guest on VMware & Virtualbox: performance, lags and GUI issue

as this is a mobile platform it could be that the VMs rendering either entirely in software or on the CPUs iGPU
I had weird issues in the past - mostly with virtualbox: when installing the vbox drivers in a win10 client the start menu got translucent and mostly unusable - so could be an overall issue with virtualbox and it's 3d acceleration
as for vmware - I only have experience with it at work - in the form of animations in a browser become a slide show due to lack of actual acceleration
tldr: the issues could be related due to the fact you're using virtualization at all - and that the OSs as guests don't like the setup - just guessing

Re: Arch as guest on VMware & Virtualbox: performance, lags and GUI issue

Out of curiosity, I've also tried running sudo startx to ensure that Xorg are actually running but I get this instead:

Don't use sudo for arbitrary commands without good reasons, there's a high chance it well mess up permissions.

The ps aux output is as expected on a system running X . The glxinfo output confirms X is using the vmware driver, not sw rendering .

After a lot of consideration, frustration, and failed troubleshooting, I have decided to take a break from Arch and Fedora Linux and try Debian. From my readings and research, Debian is the "Stable" distro and is widely used on web servers, which was my main purpose for installing Linux. After a few days, I also tried a freshly installed Arch to see if I could fix the problem. Here is what I get:

Arch "fresh install":

  1. Gnome (Data not available, not interested due to its limited customizability)

  2. KDE Plasma works great with X11 but not with Wayland

  3. Unrelated to the performance but I'm having issue that after the installation, when using the hotkeys CTRL + ALT + F3 that will bring me to basic terminal with the tty3 word, I get "Login Incorrect" despite the password is correct and I have tried reset it with passwd <username> but still fails.

Fedora

  1. Does not work well on Gnome (X11 or Wayland)

  2. Works fine with KDE Plasma (X11) but not with Wayland

Debian

  1. Does not work well on Gnome (X11 or Wayland)

  2. Works fine with KDE Plasma (X11) but not with Wayland

  3. Debian works so well that I could play YouTube videos in 4k without any of the sounds breaking, glitching or the video lagging on Xorg (X11)

My conclusion

  1. Wayland is not stable for both VirtualBox and VMware

  2. Xorg works fine inside a Virtual Machine, but since Xorg will be or is already discontinued, I hope they can find a solution to this "bug" that causes Wayland to lag so badly inside the Virtual Machine

  3. After spending a stupid amount of time (lol) reading the wiki, I've managed to "upscale" the overall window zoom from 100% to 125% with the command xrandr --output <your display, for example, mine is Virtual1> --scale 0.8x0.8

Have you tried with a lightweight WM like Openbox?

No, I haven't yet, and from what I've seen, Openbox looks too simple and I might not like it, but I would like to try it if this issue gets worse sometime in the future. Anyway, thank you to Lone_Wolf for trying to help with this issue.

There are lots of people (not me) that would prefer it that way but it seems the 'The king(X) is dead, long live the king(wayland)"  percentage under devs is higher then under users .

Lately there have been BSD developers stepping up to solve X issues and make improvements.
The BSD*s use a customized xorg server called Xenocara and don't have any plans to use wayland.

I may have found the main issue that causes this lag, mouse delayed input, and program windows lag...

I have spent a little too much time debugging and identifying this issue, and here is what I've discovered:

  1. The issue is not from Arch, Fedora, or Debian. It is from the software that makes the guest OS compatible (such as auto-scaling, copy-paste from host to guest, etc.).

  2. This includes: 

    VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

    and 

    open-vm-tools

  3. Although, based on my experiments and experience with both Virtual Machine programs, I could categorize VirtualBox as having a mild performance issue compared to VMware, which I could categorize as severe. Both are tested with Wayland

  4. Switching to Xorg (X11) basically makes the issue disappear, but now I have lost the ability to increase the screen scaling to make it look bigger. I could use xrandr, but that does not increase the overall scaling; it only zooms in, which makes the text and icons blurry. Reference can be found here: How to scale the resolution/display of the desktop and/or applications?

Temporary solution

  1. So as a temporary solution, use VirtualBox (well, at least for me) if you are having issues with lag after installing it on VMware Workstation Pro/Player.

  2. Try using other distros such as Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, EndeavourOS, etc., and see if the problem persists.

  3. Lastly is to use Xorg (X11) with the scrren size of 1920 X 1080 10:9 and use the Stretch Guest > Free Stretch for VMware and Hostkey (Left CTRL) + C for VirtualBox
