boffin5 is on a distinguished road
Hi all,


After running OF8 for over a year on a laptop, using Virtualbox and ubuntu, I upgraded my hardware to a powerful desktop PC using an AMD Epyc CPU.


Ever since, I have had problems with the ubuntu screen turning black after login, and on the rare occasions that it actually doesn't, I get 'VBox client' error messages popping up every 2 seconds. I haven't been able to do anything with OF, and have spent hours trying to resolve the problems, without success.


I am just about ready to quit with Virtualbox and start over by implementing QEMU, along with ubuntu. But I must say that, after watching the videos, installation looks complicated. However, I may be forced to go that route.


Any thoughts?
