Having an annoyance with Ubuntu and other Linux distro’s running in VirtualBox for while. It didn’t seem to have an impact on functionality, but it possibly had an impact on speed of boot.
Essentially, you do the following:
Start a terminal
- sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
- Add the line blacklist i2c_piix4 to the end of the file and save
- sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
