Slow startup

[blubber]

Ever since VB 6.x, start up process of the VM is extremely slow. However, if performing multiple mouse clicks in a quick succession (10+) during the process, start up will perform almost in normal speed.

Virtual Machine is Android x86 project, version 8.1-r1

1. It's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the ​VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there. More than 95% of the issues are resolved in the forums, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of. For example, yours is most probably not a bug and someone from the developers has to deal with it and close it as "Invalid".

Plus a discussion and analysis on the bug tracker is going to help me, you, and potentially a future drive-by user or two. Not so in the forums, many more tend to benefit...

2. You were supposed to follow these steps when you filed the bug, and provide a VBox.log:

   Attach a (full) log file ("Machine" menu/"Show Log" in the main VirtualBox Manager window) straight away to save time for you and for us. The log file contains a lot of useful information about both the host and the guest systems as well as information about what happened during a particular machine run. Please do not cut and paste it.

Maybe this is the same issue as in my ticket? #18592

When I read your post I do agree, probably the same odd behavior/ source. Has been reported countless times so there must have been some major change in the 6.X versions leading to this.

Added two log files, one of a unsuccessful start up and one of a successful start up. Plus added a file with comments on the two log files.

Replying to socratis:

Excellent, thank you for this piece of information. I'll try to follow the procedure as stated.

However as for the startup issue I've been searching forums and the more all around without any hint on a solution I haven't tried before. Moreover this issue showed up right after update to 6.0 without any further side effect.

I'll try to provide more detailed information on that behavior.

Update 26.04.2019

-> log files attached. -> Installed an run: testbuild 130207 -> no change.

Any changes because of the latest corrections in the code?
