Hi
Previously I posted this on a virtualbox forum:
Dear all
For quite some time I have a problem with my virtualbox. Right now I am running Version 5.2.10_Ubuntu r121806 on Ubuntu 18.04 (32-Bit, Intel i5, 8Gb RAM) as host. My guest is a Win 10. Previously I had a Win 7 as guest. With both, but even more with the Win 10 I have the problem that virtual box uses too much of the CPU. If I do not limit the virtual box process it takes 100% CPU time. It does not matter if an application is running in the virtual box or not. Guest additions are installed and I try to always use the current version.
So, while running VB my battery drains around 2-3% per minute. Using VB only on battery is therefore not an option.
Can you give me a recommendation how to solve this?
Best regards
And I got this response:
In that case you are not running VirtualBox, you are running the Ubuntu fork of VirtualBox, support for which is available on the Ubuntu forums.
If you want support here then you need to be using VirtualBox, not somebody's forked version of it. I.e. download and install from the downloads area on this site.
Actually I already tried the not-ubuntu-specific version. But this did not help either.
Do you have any recommendations?
