Problem with OracleVM VirtualBox and Debian Testing
I have installed OracleVM VirtualBox v4.3.6 r91406 on my Laptop to use as a test bed for Debian Linux runs very nicely in the VM. (VirtualBox seems to work better than VMware Player.) Debian v-7.3.0 runs without any problems. However, I have repeatedly encountered what I consider to be a rather strange problem with Debian Testing. Installation of Testing in a VirtualBox proceeds without any problems, but every time that I install a new application VirtuaBox crashes when I attempt execution. I would appreciate any insights as to what may be causing this. As I said, 7.3.0 gives me no problems whatsoever. Thanks in advance. Stephen P.

Can you give an example, please? I would appreciate any insights as to what may be causing this. As I said, 7.3.0 gives me no problems whatsoever. I seem to be able to reproduce the problem every time I install an application that isn't part of the original installation. Whether or not anyone else would be able to reproduce the problem, I couldn't say. Examples: Avogadro which is a Testing package and MGL_Tools v-1.5.7rc2 which isn't a Testing package, but available from the Scripps Institute. I have freshly installed a Debian Testing in exactly the same VirtualBox Version that you have. I then did a apt-get install avogadro and started it. Nothing unusual so far in my VM. Is anything strange in your system log files? /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages Do you have the 32bit or 64bit version running? Christoph I'm running the 64 bit version. As I said before Debian v-7.3.0 is working without any glitches whatsoever on the same laptop (obviously a different VM). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
