My flash failed after getting to 99.8%. It became very slow as it got above 90%. 99.7 - 99.8 took about 30 minutes. The logs indicate:

This is the first time I’ve tried to flash the TX2. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS in a VirtualBox VM. I’m using the brand new USB cable that came with the TX2 and no USB hubs. I have a filter setup for the USB device and the USB connection is consistant, it’s not disconnecting.
I know there have been some problems with VMs. Is there anything I can do?
Edit: I’m trying to use Jetpack 4.3.
I’ve doubled the RAM on my VM from 2048 to 4096 and replaced the swapfile with a 4GB swap partition on my SSD. I’ll try again and update with results.
Edit #2: Once again it is starting to get extremely slow in the upper 90s. There is a large time gap in the terminal between these lines:
