I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 to a VM and find its booting as well as app loading times very slow. I’m running VBox 4.3.14 on a Mac OSx 10.9 host. Other VMs for XP and OS/2 are very responsive, but Ubuntu is a real dog. Opening the System Settings app takes probably 10 seconds. I’ve never used Linux before so don’t know where to start looking. I did all I could find in the VBox manual regarding the installation and the latest Ubuntu updates have been applied as well as the Guest Additions installed. BTW, I only assigned 1 CPU even though this is a dual core laptop. The only sign of anything unusual is early in the boot process I get the message “[9.430471] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr”, but it keeps booting and the message goes away. It gave the same message as it started installing also.
Ideas? Thanks for any and all suggestions.
