Crashing often in Virtualbox

[Larky]

Hi. I use another Linux and want to migrate, have been testing sparkylinux-2024.02-x86_64-lxqt on Virtualbox for a few days.

I like it a lot except that it causes Virtualbox to crash virtually every time. Some times it takes longer than others, but it always happens eventually. First, the mouse pointer freezes. Sometimes I can barely move it, very very slowly. Getting out of Virtualbox full screen mode is hard. Switching to another tty in the host machine takes a while. When it finally does, I have a command ready to kill Virtualbox. But experience tells me that killing Virtualbox only saves time. Virtualbox will panic and close on its own if I wait long enough.

I test many OSes on Virtualbox and this is this first time I ever see this happen, and it's happened with Sparky every time I boot it.

Have you had a similar experience? Have you seen any similar report in the forum?

Without any further details it's hard to say. I would try to look into VBox logs and maybe try to redownload Sparky iso image or experiment with Vbox settings. 
Also it's important to have host with enough CPU power and memory resources.
