Re: [arch-general] VirtualBox crashes when adding choose existing to SATA controller

2016-10-16 Thread Alive 4ever
This is a known qt5-base issue [1], especially on gnome-wayland. The
qgnomeplatform theme, which provides uniform look for QT and GTK apps, doesn't 
support GTK3 wayland compositor.

As temporary workaround, you can tell GTK3 library to use x11 backend
(GDK_BACKEND=x11) or by installing qt5ct package and setting
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME variable to qt5ct.

Obviously I was running gnome-shell (mutter) with wayland, not Xorg. I
was able to switch to Xorg in the log-in screen (GDM). Now no crash happens.

I will try on Monday with wayland again and try to provide logs.

The Windows7 32Bit machine was also constantly crashing on wayland. With
xorg, it seems stable till now.

This is a neat info. But I don't care about the look of the mouse
pointer. I get things done (TM) even with an ugly cursor.


On the other hand, wayland brings down gnome-shell on my multihead
setup. I have a lenovo x230t and two external monitors. Spontaneous
log-outs, all input devices dead etc. Backups for the win! With Xorg no
big problems.

At least it's Friday.

Take a look at the log files.

The paths are not necessarily those

.VirtualBox/VBoxSVC.log*
VirtualBox\ VMs/*/Logs/VBox.log*

Regards,
Ralf

PS:

I already wrote a script to backup and restore from an older backup,
all settings and the guest, if something fails. VBox is easy to use,
but regarding reliability a PITA. Sometimes it takes very long to repair
something broken and sometimes it's impossible. Restoring from a backup
usually is the better way to go.

Btw. regarding to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50120 I stay with
5.0.24.

[arch-general] VirtualBox crashes when adding choose existing to SATA controller

2016-10-14 Thread Peter Bauer
The VirtualBox gui crashes when you want to add an existing hard disk to
a SATA controller.


Steps to reproduce:


Select a Machine -> Settings -> Storage -> Controller: SATA -> Add hard
disk -> Choose existing disk

Then you will see the following message when you have started the Oracle
VM VirtualBox Manager in a terminal:

% VirtualBox
Qt WARNING: libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

(VirtualBox:7254): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkwindow-x11.c:5554 drawable is not
a native X11 window
[1]7254 segmentation fault  VirtualBox


The corresponding machine had no hard disk applied. I guess I have to
use some Command line to get the machine up again...
