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

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. > > Btw. regarding to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50120 I stay with > 5.0.24. > > [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q virtualbox > virtualbox 5.0.24-1 > [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ objdump -p /usr/lib/virtualbox/components/* > 2>/dev/null|grep libvpx > NEEDED libvpx.so.3 > [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Ql libvpx | grep so > libvpx /usr/lib/libvpx.so > libvpx /usr/lib/libvpx.so.4 > libvpx /usr/lib/libvpx.so.4.0 > libvpx /usr/lib/libvpx.so.4.0.0 > [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -hl /lib/libvpx.so* > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 1 19:41 /lib/libvpx.so -> libvpx.so.4.0.0 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 16 2016 /lib/libvpx.so.3 -> libvpx.so.3.0.0 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 16 2016 /lib/libvpx.so.3.0 -> libvpx.so.3.0.0 > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.4M Jan 16 2016 /lib/libvpx.so.3.0.0 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 1 19:41 /lib/libvpx.so.4 -> libvpx.so.4.0.0 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 1 19:41 /lib/libvpx.so.4.0 -> libvpx.so.4.0.0 > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.3M Aug 1 19:41 /lib/libvpx.so.4.0.0 > 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.

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.
