Virtual-Machines

Some notes so I remember how to fix this problem if it happens again and I don’t waste a bunch of time figuring it out right before a customer production release. Not a great start to my day.

This issue happened to me many moons ago when I first upgraded to VirtualBox 6 and Ubuntu 18. This is the second time so I better write down what I did so I hopefully remember if it happens a third time.

All my development work is done on virtual machines (VM), Virtual Box to be exact.  In the past I’ve only needed one VM open at a time and only one version Visual Studio, or other IDE, running in the VM.  On my Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of RAM this was fine with the VM being allocated 1.5 GB of RAM.  Sometimes it would run slow but only for short durations and I could live with it.
