Title:
System completely hangs, high disk I/O when running a VirtualBox VM
alongside Firefox with a few tabs open
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Experienced complete system lockup and hang on two different machines
when trying to boot a VirtualBox VM running Fedora 29 live (no virtual
disk) when Firefox is open with a few (~5-10) inactive tabs.
System 1:
4GB RAM host
1536MB guest, no virtual disk
swapfile
System 2:
6 GB RAM host
1792MB guest, no virtual disk
separate swap partition (4GB)
- Load Fedora in guest from live ISO
On boot of the guest (after boot menu), the entire system locks up for
easily 30 minutes or more, with constant host disk activity. GNOME
shell becomes completely unresponsive, can move the cursor some but
interacting doesn't work and the UI shell doesn't respond to mouse
hover. Requires closing the lid to attempt force sleep and resume to
be able to regain access to the applications and GNOME shell. After
resuming, VM seems to be usable.
Seems like the system is running low on memory but not
handling/terminating applications, and thrashing, and/or there are bad
memory leaks happening when booting the VM.
Expected behaviour:
Runs normally or fails out of memory without locking up the entire system.
