Bug#502043:

[Tim Richardson]

Upstream says it won't be fixed until the next major release after
2.0.4. 

Here is a hack fix I've made to at least protect from data loss.


create /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/00virtualBox and make it executable

put this in the script. I have hardcoded for the only VM I care about,
and you need to run it as the user who runs the virtual machine.

Obviously very ugly, but does the job. 


#!/bin/sh

#. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"

case "$1" in
hibernate|suspend)
#suspend_nm
sudo -u tim VBoxManage controlvm XP savestate
;;
thaw|resume)
#resume_nm
;;
*) exit $NA
;;
esac

Bug#502043: Attached are good and bad .xml config files

[Tim Richardson]

I had this problem in upgrading before, and the same solution worked:
delete the virtual machine and start again (keeping the same virtual
disk, of course).
I think the only change I make when I do this is to the .xml file.

Attached is the new, working one, and the old one which does causes the
virtual machine to crash on suspend.

Perhaps it gives a clue to the problem.

Bug#502043: virtualbox-ose: Virtual machines freeze after suspend or hibernate

[Tim Richardson]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-2
Severity: important

I upgraded to the sid packages. Found no module for my 686 kernel so I built 
one with module assistant.

I have three virtual machines: a Debian VM, and two XP machines.
They all now freeze after suspend or hibernate on my laptop, which for me is a 
problem of severity grave.

I reverted to the testing versions, but had the same problem, so perhaps this 
is something introduced by recent kernel changes. I will test that.
I file this bug in case it is known already to the maintainers.
