Hi all,
I have VirtualBox 3.1.2 running on a Solaris 10 host. The VBoxHeadless
instances seem to run stable. But the machine always again runs into a
state where neither the control application nor any further VBoxHeadless
instances come up anymore. The last time I encountered this I did
pkill -9 VBoxSVC
pkill VBoxXPCOMIPCD
pkill VBoxZoneAccess
After that I could normally startup VirtualBox. This did not help this
time. When I enter
VirtualBox
in a terminal session it hands and the application window never comes
up!? Rebooting the whole machines usually solves this problem. But
that's no good solution! Could this be due to a port conflict? If so
which ports must not be used by other processes on the machine to not
disturb VirtualBox? Any other ideas?
It's certainly not a port conflict as such, as VirtualBox uses unix
domain sockets (in /tmp/.vbox-USERNAME-ipc/). It sounds more like
VBoxSVC or VBoxXPCOMIPCD got wedged, and that causes the client apps
(VirtualBox, VBoxHeadless, VBoxManage ...) to hang as well. However if
you terminate everything that should clear the problem.
