Okay so I am having an issue myself. I got bored yesterday and decided to try to install Ubuntu 9.10 ALPHA 5 in Virtualbox. It gets to around 65% and then it just freezes (At the Ubuntu white swooshy bar part...can't describe it better). Has anyone had any luck installing it in a VM?
Alright, after not being a fan of Windows Virtual PC due to performance reasons (VM's) being slow, I also noticed that VPC runs my CPU at about 50% with 1 VM running just sitting at idle.
Check this out, this screenshot is VPC running with a single Ubuntu 9.04 box after 15 minutes just sitting at the logon screen. It seriously sat at 50%+ the entire time.
Here is Ubuntu 9.04 VM after 15 minutes running under Virtual Box 3.0.6 sitting at a logon screen. It fluctuated between 0-5%
I'm downloading the ISO now, will let you know. Just FYI: Sun released VirtualBox 3.0.6 yesterday.
Thanks a bunch. I downloaded VirtualBox late last night so I am pretty sure I got the newest version. I am going to try different configs in my VM to see where it might be dyingAlright, after not being a fan of Windows Virtual PC due to performance reasons (VM's) being slow, I also noticed that VPC runs my CPU at about 50% with 1 VM running just sitting at idle.

Ok, got the ISO downloaded. Using the ISO to install from, using Vbox 3.0.6, used a 20GB dynamically expanding hard drive. Left everything else as defaults.
The installation completed without an issue. It shut down alright after the install. I powered it off and unmounted the ISO being used for installation.
On bootup, the system dropped into maintenance mode and complained about an UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY. It tried to fsck on it's own, but the process died with exit status 4. I ran, fsck /dev/sda1 and it indicated a problem with the time for the superblock and I fixed that. Everything else checked out fine. I issued, reboot
On the proceeding boot, everything completed normally and brought me up to the logon screen. I was able to logon and things seemed to be alright.

Yeah I think their conventions team is a bunch of stoners
I will say that I looked at the list of features in Karmic and it deeply saddened me to see them drop pidgin from the list of installed apps
