1. I have installed a virtual machine using KVM, qemu, and virt-manager<br>
according to a tip from Phill to use this wiki page<br>
<br>
<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/VirtManager" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/VirtManager</a><br>
<br>
It is installed in the Lubuntu 64-bit saucy-daily system in my Toshiba<br>
(describe above).<br>
<br>
The KVM system can install Lubuntu 64-bit saucy-daily, and the installed<br>
system works :-)<br>
<br>
It is fast (and does not hang at the reboot button like the VBox system<br>
does in my old Asus). It behaves very similar to installing and running<br>
in a real system (only the old bug 966480).<br>
<br>
-o-<br>
<br>
2. I don't know, but I suspect that the desktop installer for the 64-bit<br>
systems needs more RAM than the corresponding installer for 32-bits.<br>
Could it be that 1.25 GB is not enough, so that the installer hangs<br>
because of low RAM? And this is what causes VBox to fail? (I have only 2<br>
GB in that old Asus host, a it might be hard to give more than 1.25 GB<br>
to the guest (it is already complaining about it). Or could it be a bug<br>
specifically for VBox?<br>
<br>
Can someone test with VBox and various amounts of RAM allocated, also<br>
more than 1.25GB?<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
