      I had a few VMs running Ubuntu 20.04 and upgraded them over to 22.04, fully patched with VM tools installed, and now the console performance within XO is so bad it's almost not usable.

      For all other VMs it's 100% fine, Windows, Windows Server, older Ubuntu, CentOS, but Ubuntu 22.04 in specific is super slow. The VM itself seems to be just fine, but moving the mouse around in the console is super slow to respond and typing lags way behind my actual input.

      Any ideas on this one? I did some searching but didn't really find anything.

        Andrew This was the answer, thank you! I had it set with 8MiB of video memory which was fine with an older install but 22.04 needs more it looks like. Bumped that up to 16 MiB and it's super smooth now.

        Thanks for your help!

        olivierlambert increasing the video memory was the solution. But to answer your question this was in BIOS mode rather than UEFI.

          UEFI or BIOS mode? How much video memory?

            planedrop Using XCP 8.2.1 (updated), I just downloaded and installed Ubuntu 22.04 desktop and had no problems with it. I did not do an upgrade, it was a fresh install.

            I did a default install on both BIOS (default) and UEFI with VGA 16Mb enabled. Both had 4 cores and 4G memory.

            Everything was fine using the XO (source) console. Both installs were the same. VGA was normal and so was mouse/keyboard. Youtube videos play, but not great (as expected).

            This is on my 11th gen i7 Asus home box (with other guests on it too).

            Have you tried a fresh install as a test just to see if it has the same issues?
