Package: virtualbox-ose Version: 3.2.0-dfsg-1 Severity: important The server is an Intel I7 processor, 12GB RAM running a 64bit Kernel. The VM clients are
1) Windows 7, 64 bit with 4GB RAM configured. 2) Windows 2003 Server, 64 bit with 2GB RAM configured. These machines start up and run correctly, all devices work properly. They also run very quickly for several hours. However, if the server is left on its own for a while (say, 30 minutes) with no user activity, the VM's slow down to a crawl and never recover. Screen updates are very slow such that you can see every redraw, processing is very slow (between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude), disk activity is very low. The only solution is to shut down the VM's and restart them - at which point they run very quickly again. (note: to recover, the server does not need to be rebooted) This bug is not new to 3.2, it was present with previous releases of virtualbox-ose. In monitoring the server's resources, there is low processor, network and disk activity, but memory is completely consumed with 50% programs and 50% cache. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages virtualbox-ose depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcurl3 7.20.1-2 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-1 GCC support library ii libpng12-0 1.2.43-1 PNG library - runtime ii libpython2.6 2.6.5-1 Shared Python runtime library (ver ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.14-6 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8n-1 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvncserver0 0.9.3.dfsg.1-2 API to write one's own vnc server ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.10-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.1.1-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii python 2.5.4-9 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.14+nmu2 register and build utility for Pyt ii python2.5 2.5.5-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages virtualbox-ose recommends: ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.7.1-2 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libqt4-opengl 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 4 OpenGL module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 4 GUI module ii virtualbox-ose-dkms 3.2.0-dfsg-1 x86 virtualization solution - kern ii virtualbox-ose-qt 3.2.0-dfsg-1 x86 virtualization solution - Qt b Versions of packages virtualbox-ose suggests: ii libasound2 1.0.22-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libpulse0 0.9.21-1 PulseAudio client libraries pn vde2 <none> (no description available) ii virtualbox-guest-additions 3.2.0-1 guest additions iso image for Virt -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
