Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.3.18-dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I wanted to have a look at debian-live, so downloaded the file
debian-live-7.8.0-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso from cdimage.debian.org. Then I
configured a virtual machine in virtualbox, with default settings for
"debian (64-bit)" except that I did not add a hard disk.
When trying to boot the system, it would go past grub, then give me a
wite screen with a single line saying "Loading, please wait", and then
the window would disappear.
When I ran "VBoxSDL --startvm <name of VM>", I saw that there was a
segmentation fault. However, I did not seem to be able to produce a core
dump, so I don't know why the segfault occurred.
