Hi,
I'm consistently able to reproduce an issue where the guest throws the dreaded "unable to allocate and lock memory" error. It happens when I build a 4GB VM and then try to install 64b Ubuntu 14.04 via the .iso. A few choices into the install menu, it throws the memory error, pauses/kills the VM, and hangs. This happens every time. Oddly enough I can workaround this by reducing the amount of memory assigned to the VM to 2GB. Once reduced, the guest OS installs without error, and then (this is a little odd) I can go back into settings and increase the amount of memory back to 4GB and it runs fine. The host machine is running windows 7, has 12GB of physical memory installed and has upwards of 9GB free when I try to run the VM/install process. I've killed every running process I can get my hands on so I'm very confident it's not an actual memory availability issue. Thoughts?
Please help.
I did not find the right solution from the Internet.
