there can also be something very wrong in your VM settings check prerequisites, there may be more for Mint than for normal Ubuntu (even Ubuntu has them since 18.04, check with Google what you need to install) have virtualization ON in your VM settings (I think I always turn ON, 'virtualize CPU performance markers', because in Win 10 it is a must do it in two stages and tell where it stops are you solely trying to create a VM first? With ext4 everything works as it is meant to be.īased on this description, it is hard to way what the problem is, I suggest to open a new thread and give clarity to the below things:

My problem was really bad performance on NTFS, only.

I'm not sure what you really got done - do it in two stages, for clarity, anyway, first create the VM and second stage to load the operating system. I still suspect the multi-file disk settings to be causing on your description, we don't have the same problem. The only thing I really use it for is to run Daz Studio under, but I don't think that would cause the problems I have. Something is wrong here and I don't know what.Īny ideas? If need be I can provide more information. By all means it should be enough to run VMWare smoothly but that's not my experience with it. The guest OS is Windows 10 Pro 圆4, and I'm running it under Kubuntu 20.10, kernel version 5.8.0.33-generic, under a Ryzen 7 2700x, with 32GB of RAM, and an older 1080 Ti GPU. Would re-installing under with a single disk file be a better option here? My disk space is not pre-allocated, either. More recently I turning the 'Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI' setting to on, but that doesn't seem to make any real difference. But it still persists and I wonder if it has to do with using multiple files for the virtual disk. I've also tried 2 which results in more issues. I later learned that a lower number is preferable, for stability reasons. I've tried setting my vCPU count to 4, instead of higher (originally I set it to 8 vCPU cores). It's really getting obnoxious and I really don't know what's caused.

I have serious problems getting Player to run well under my Linux system, and I struggle with slowdowns and freezing, and I've had far too many instances where the program freezes altogether, forcing me to reset my system (and often losing work).
