The guest is Linux. I have no external USB keyboard, and this problem seems to occur even when not running X-Windows in the guest, i.e., the sticky key duplicates happen even in the linux console window. I also have the guest additions installed. Is there still no way to fix this problem? Must I liv...

There are about a billion posts (yes yes, we counted) about this precise error. Please check https://www.google.com/search?q=site:forums.virtualbox.org+busy+with+a+previous+request Ah, that's a better search than I tried :) . I'll look through the billion posts and see if there's something I haven'...

I am having many problems trying to access a USB drive from VB running Linux (Linux Mint 64-bit, Debian Edition, in particular). I have one of two problems: 1) When I select the USB drive from the Devices->USB, it never gets checkmarked (in the checkbox) and the USB driver is not accessible -- the k...

Unlike the original poster, I am unable to get this going. I did a search on C:\ and it found tp4table.dat in C:\Program Files\APoint2 but when I look at the access dates, it looks like the files haven't been accessed in years. Nevertheless, I tried changing the file as described in the above web pa...

For some of those struggling, I discovered that Microsoft's Lync/Communicator really screws the clipboard up. If you get rid of Lync, the clipboard again starts working both ways again. (BTW, it seems that Lync screws up the mouse, too. The problem is not VirtualBox specific. The problem is that cli...

OK, did a little more experimentation. Rebooting into another kernel did not help the problem. However, exiting Virtualbox and starting it up again did help the problem temporarily -- for about 2 or 3 hours. I tried getting rid of my Windows gtk application (Workrave) to see if that was the problem,...

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, 32-bit. (The host is 64-bit Win7.)

FWIW, everything else works, including mouse integration in seamless mode. I only noticed this time sync problem yesterday. I don't recall the time being off before that. (I've been running Virtualbox this way for about 1 month.)

I checked that. All guest additions are installed.

I'm not sure it would matter, 'tho. When I check the "bios" clock in the guest VM via "hwclock -r", it's wrong, too.

Are you saying the HOST is loosing the time? No, the guest is losing the time synchronization. [I'm realizing that I've been posting to the wrong sub-forum since I'm running Ubuntu under Windows, not vice-versa. Sorry.] Does it loose the same amount of time if you are not running anything on it? No...

Was this ever fixed? I'm running 3.2.10 and it has pretty severe time drift as a result of an application (I think) running on the host machine (Windows 7). It's losing 1 second for every 5 seconds. As a short-term fix, I'm running an NTP equivalent (htpdate because the firewall blocks a number of p...

Ticket opened: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7152 I've been struggling with getting x11vnc working properly (see http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36198&p=162166 ). The scroll wheel mouse button and the third right button work under some conditions. I can't quite figure ou...

After doing more research, I'm starting to think my problem is this: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7152 . It seems to indicate that Virtualbox interferes with XTEST, and that is precisely what x11vnc depends upon. I think, until this is fixed, I will not be able to use x11vnc to its full capacity...

TightVNC is the one I use. Works with Ubuntu fine. In fact that is what they suggested for you to use on the Ubuntu forum isn't it? TightVNC server won't cut it for my purposes. My Virtualbox session starts up with an established X server and that is exactly the session that I want to use remotely....

Of course you can create an xorg.conf that specifies your mouse. There is plenty of information on the web for this. But are you sure that will solve it? Shouldn't you just see if there is a different VNC server/client that you can use that doesn't give these errors? I just tried the vino vnc serve...

Win7 host, Ubuntu Karmic guest. I seem to have a lot of problems when using x11vnc and the X Windows display that is apparently created via Xorg and the virtualbox addons in the Ubuntu guest. Mainly, the problem is the mouse buttons and mouse scroll wheel (or, my case, touchpad "wheel" and...
