LR on Win11 guest on Linux Virtualbox host.

Installed Lightroom for iPad Pro a couple months ago. Generally happy but disappointed it lacks HDR merge and panorama stitching. So I am on the Lightroom CC trial. I don’t have and don't want a PC. I do have an M1 Mac (LR runs fine) and Linux Virtualbox Windows 11 that also runs fine with most apps but problems with LR 6.2 on Windows 11, Intel i5-10210U with 10GB allocated WDDM VBoxSVGA RAM, Virtualbox 7.0.4.

 

PROBLEM: LR boots successfully. It attempts to sync, bringing in all my folders. But folder sync gets stuck in importing “1 of x”. The photo collage area remains empty black panel.

 

ASK: Is there a solution for this? My 1-week trial is on cancellation since I don’t want it if LR does not run on Windows11 VM. Anybody gotten LR to run on a virtual machine?

UPDATE: Found a solution 🙂 Clicked off Virtualbox "Enable 3D Acceleration" and now it's fine!
