Re: VirtualBox crashing on virtual clients start

Ok, I have NO IDEA what you're talking about :!: :?: :!: . Where do you get off making claims that I'm being "nasty" towards VB, or anything else, for that matter? In my post I simply state that I was having the same issue as the original poster. There is not a single instance where I'm b...

Re: VirtualBox crashing on virtual clients start

Wow lost following that thread for a while. So really no need to be nasty with this. VB is awesome, worth thousands of dollars in my book but hey FREE ! You can`t yell at the devs, just only help them to improve their fabulous software. I`m a gamer too so NO downgrading driver for sure only for VB. ...

Re: VirtualBox crashing on virtual clients start

Hi wow that was quick support, thank you ! While I certainly don't want to downgraded my Win7 display driver for VB, disabling 3d acceleration fix the problem with the latest guest addons. Seems then that the new Nvidia driver (260.89) is causing problem with VirtualBox. I can certainly work without...

Re: Discuss VirtualBox 3.0 Release

Migrate from 2.2.1 OSE to 3.0 following the Linux notes from the site with no issues (Mint 7 host with Win XP 32 guest). It even recognized my previous vm machines. I installed it from the package manager of Mint after the short cmds indicated. Neat. Then install version 3 add-ons. Everything works ...

Re: Migrating from VB 2.2.1 OSE to 3.0

Ok finally for those interested to try it out, it's much easier/safer then I though. 1- Uninstall both Virtual box packages using the Mint/Ubuntu package manager. This will not delete the ".virtualbox" folder in your home directory, nor your virtual boxes (Windows Xp for me). 2- Use the in...

Migrating from VB 2.2.1 OSE to 3.0

Linux Mint 7 any advise on how to migrate to the new VB3 ? I am running 2.2.1 OSE right now with 2 Windows guests. Since there is no 3 OSE upgrade available yet, is it better to first uninstall the OSE version and use the .deb 3 version from here ? If I uninstalled the OSE version, will that take ou...
