hydrurga thanks for your input I'm new to linux and I have thought about dual booting but have been put off by some of the comments about problems arising from dual booting.

Thank you for your reply I belive I have done what you suggested with the exception 'allow it 256mb VRAM' I cannot see how this is done. Maybe I should add that I have not had any problems running other VM's
hope this is the info you requested
thanks

Good Afternoon Im looking for some advice/suggestions I have successfully installed virtualbox on linuux mint 20 and added windows 10 as a guest the only reason for installing windows is to run the Sky Go app.When running the Sky Go app it's struggling to stream so my question is there anything i ca...

Thanks for the suggestion Ive looked everywhere even in gnome keyboard shortcuts all point to CTRL ALT SHIFT R being the shortcut to both start and stop screen recording but that combination doesn't work for me maybe the is the term key 'binding' got altered some how.

Ive found one thing that starts the recording if I highlight a number of lets say emails by holding down the shift key and dragging the mouse the recording starts to stop it just press the shift key So what's causing this action and how to disable it or even uninstall the software responsible !

Think I may have found the cause the last time the red stop came on was when I did the two above screen shots and the file shows me compiling my previous file. The screen shot were done with flameshot so it looks like that the culprit however I can't make it happen

That's even more intriguing I don't have a cat All of the files appear to be video's of some sort and when I tried to open one (a) up popped the red spot and (b) error message pop-up so now we know what happening just need to find the cause !

Spot on checked out folder and there were several files in there,just need to find what I'm doing to trigger it

Many thanks for your reply you may well be correct but I need to try and find what's starting it as I have never used that key combination.

Evening All
Looking for suggestions as to what could be causing the 'red spot' in the lower left hand corner of my screen. If I reboot it goes away but reappears at random intervals
Thanks

Many thanks to all I have solved the later part of my problem by reinstalling mint as for virtualbox think I'll give it a miss !

BG405 thanks for the suggestion but as I have said above I cannot open Synaptic

And now this

When I run sudo /sbin/vboxconfig I get sudo: /sbin/vboxconfig: command not found I have tried purging virtualbox completely via synaptic packet manager but as I said earlier it gets so far and then generates a error message which I was going to copy however I now find I cannot open the synaptic pack...

Thanks all for advice re failed instructions ran the script resulting
harry@harry-SATELLITE-L50-C:~$ /sbin/vboxconfig
bash: /sbin/vboxconfig: No such file or directory
