I recently installed Turnkey Trac on a ESXI system running a few other (non-Turnkey) VMs.  While the other VMs perform reasonably, the Trac VM is very slow.  It takes 10 to 15 seconds to show a page after a click, which, according to my users, is un-usable.

I've gone so far as to completely delete the VM and re-download and re-deployt Turnkey Trac, with the same results.  There even appears to be a delay on the command line, after a command is run for a few seconds.

Any ideas?

Also, according to the js log, jquery.js is missing.

I guess the reason I'm running slow is that I had to "disable acceleration" just to get it running at all, which I picked up here: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/support/20110202/ovf-machine-not-running-esxi4

 

So, I can either run unusably slow, or not at all.

Seems like there are quite a few. Either install a newer kernel (there is a backported one in lucid-update) or try adjusting the settings as described in that thread would be my 2 suggestions.

And then re-enable acceleration. Is that what you've done?

It is an updated kernel - to resolve the kernel panic issue, which from your posts it seems is why you are running with acceleration disabled!?

I assume that your server is running slow because you have acceleration disabled...

I don't run ESXi and only played with it briefly years ago and decided in favour of ProxmoxVE. IMO PVE is a superior FOSS (free open source software) virtualisation solution - at least for my usage scenario. I won't harp on about how great it is, but bottom line is all my TKL appliances run sweet as and as such I can't help you at all with ESXi. Sorry. AFAIK though it can be done. There are many other TKL users using ESX/ESXi successfully (although not sure about that particular appliance - but it should be immaterial).

Hopefully one of them will be along to give you a hand. :)

But glad to hear you solved your problem.
