<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Christopher<br><br>The Mer SDK VM is doing fine, everything works ok, no freezes.<br><br>I think I have not found anything unexpected in the VBox.log file, anyway it is attached.<br><br>However, I have maybe found a solution. I have reinstalled the VirtualBox and the Sailfish SDK to my system drive (both of them were originally installed on my second drive).<br>Now it seems like the emulator will not freeze immediatelly after booting anymore. The emulator still rarely freezes but it happens only after a long while (not right after booting). When I tried to rise up the emulator's RAM to 2 GB I had again the same problems described in the last email, so i reverted it back to 512 MB.<br><br>Thank you<br>Michal<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Fri, 3 May 2013 07:18:45 +0200<br>> From: christopher.lamb@thurweb.ch<br>> To: michal.prevratil@hotmail.cz<br>> CC: devel@lists.sailfishos.org<br>> Subject: Re: [SailfishDevel] Sailfish OS Emulator and Windows 8<br>> <br>> Hi Michal<br>> <br>> By way of comparison, how is the SDK VM doing?
