If you're running Linux in a VM on a Windows host, I'd allocate 2GB to Linux and make sure you expose BOTH of your dual-cores to the VM (it's on the "processor" tab of "system settings").
But, FWIW, that 6GB RAM you're running now should make ALL the difference. Servers typically don't run GUI desktops, so yeah, they should run fine. Ubuntu would run well on a 2GB RAM system!!!Ĭlick to expand.Well, that 6GB changes EVERYTHING!!! If you're dead-set on Ubuntu, may I suggest you create a LiveCD or LiveStick to try it out? If you like it, you can just install Ubuntu on your machine, in a dual-boot configuration or wiping Win7 in the process. If you cannot bump your RAM to 4GB, may I suggest you consider Lubuntu or Xubuntu as alternatives? They should run sufficiently on 512MB RAM or less, leaving 1.5GB RAM for your host that's slicing your Win7 resources even thinner, but it would probably be okay. With only 2GB to allocate, I'm afraid you'll either be disappointed in the Ubuntu VM, or the host will become buggy and crash. IMO, 2GB of RAM is "light" to run Win7, and Ubuntu will require another 1GB+ in order to enjoy the experience. IMO, 2 GB is not enough RAM to enjoy your VM, as you MUST allocate AT LEAST half of RAM to your host machine (1GB+) and whatever is left over to the guest VM. Lastly, FWIW, your machine is kinda weak for VM. Kind of an old thread, but this may be of help: Check your BIOS settings and enable virtualization. If it's 32 bit, you MUST install a 32 bit version of Ubuntu.Ĭonversely, if your machine is 64 bit, then your error must be related toĪ virtualization issue in your BIOS. If its 32 bit, you can't install a 64-bit OS. I've googled your machine, but can't determine if its 32 or 64 bit. Click to expand.This appears to be an issue for 32 vs 64 bit installation, or virtualization issue in BIOS.
