Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn 7.04 LINUX OS with Microsoft Virtual PC!?
Ok so i got everything right with this installation.
Everything boots right in perfect.
Im running Ubuntu Linux Fiesty Fawn 7.04 on Microsoft’s Virtual PC console.
I have a problem when i try to apply the
‘Desktop Effects’ i enable them and then poof my screen turns white i cannot see absolutely anything! After that Ubuntu automatically turns this feature off (about 5 sec)
This is the most important reason in why i was trying out Linux to make it my primary OS because of the work effeciency that you get for example using the cube effect.
THE LAST PROBLEM is:
I find that Linux runs pretty slow! i allocate 512 mb of ram to Microsoft Virtual PC and i notice that Windows XP and Ubuntu are not even close in speed!
Please note that:
Windows XP and Fiesty Fawn are running side by side and Linux is a lot slower than XP!!!!
My Computer Specs are:
Intel Pentium 4 3.20 ghz
1 GB DDR Ram
200 GB SATA internal Hard drive
250 GB Seagate external Hard drive
ATI Radeon X1550 PCI (not PCI-Express :[ )

Desktop Effects / Beryl / Compiz cannot be run on any virtual machine as the virtual graphics do not support 3D.
It is something I believe vmware are currently working on although still very much in the development stage at present, so maybe 3D compatability on Virtual Machines may be available at some time in the future.
As for the speed issue why don’t you try VirtualBox instead for the virtual machine http://www.virtualbox.org/
