Package: virtualbox Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-1 Severity: normal I have found that starting a guest VM in Virtualbox will hang the host computer while I have an active LXC container. The mouse and keyboard will not respond, requiring power to be cycled or the reset button to be pressed. "Back in the day" I experienced similiar problems with the KVM module loaded. Unloading kvm with "modprobe -r kvm_amd kvm" does not prevent the lock-ups this time.
The LXC container is using libvirt but only to communicate across the network. Stopping libvirt before running the the VM in Virtualbox does not stop the lock-up from happening. The host system will not lock-up if the lxc container is stopped before the Virtualbox guest is started. I don't see anything related in any of the logs. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages virtualbox depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dpkg 1.16.8 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libcurl3 7.26.0-1 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.1-7 ii libgsoap2 2.8.7-1 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-1 ii libpython2.7 2.7.3-1 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-5 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1c-4 ii libstdc++6 4.7.1-7 ii libvncserver0 0.9.9+dfsg-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.13-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-5 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.1-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.3-1 ii python 2.7.3~rc2-1 ii python2.7 2.7.3-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages virtualbox recommends: ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 8.0.4-2 ii libqt4-opengl 4:4.8.2+dfsg-2 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.2+dfsg-2 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.2+dfsg-2 ii virtualbox-dkms 4.1.18-dfsg-1 ii virtualbox-qt 4.1.18-dfsg-1 Versions of packages virtualbox suggests: ii vde2 2.3.2-4 ii virtualbox-guest-additions-iso 4.1.18-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
