Bug Description
I have installed the ubuntu-
The details are:
Mac OS X 10.9.4 + 8GB RAM
$ vagrant version
Installed Version: 1.7.4
Latest Version: 1.8.5
VirtualBox 5.0.26 r108824
Vagrant Box: ubuntu-
Desktop:
Package: xfce4
Version: 4.12.2
Priority: optional
Section: universe/x11
I have also enabled the graphical GUI in the Vagrantfile, with:
# Display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
# We need this to get an X11 desktop to run Firefox etc.
config.
vb.gui = true
vb.memory = "2048"
end
My problem is this:
When I tried to enter the username and password to login to the GUI, the gdm3 default desktop manager was painfully slow, so I eventually switched to using wdm, which works fine.
Description: WINGs Display Manager - an xdm replacement with a WindowMaker look
This is an xdm replacement based on the WINGs widget set. WINGs is the
NeXT-like widget set used by WindowMaker and some other programs. wdm
provides a nice and versatile login panel along with xdm functionality.
I can login to the desktop now OK, but the navigating the desktop is extremely slow. I click on the Applications tab, and about 40-60 seconds later I get a drop-down window.
I can ssh into the ubuntu-
So it just appears to be a problem with using the graphical desktop that is so slow.
I can use xfce desktop fine from the ubuntu-1401-LTS vagrant box.
That is version:
ubuntu-
Is there a non-cloud vagrant box I can use for ubuntu-xenial 16.04 please?
Kind Regards,
Keith

We don't intend to provide a desktop Vagrant box, so I've moved this bug to Ubuntu as it's a more general desktop/VM issue.
