Discuss the 4.1.12 release

Post by frank »

This topic is for discussion of the 4.1.10 release.
You can download it from here.

The 4.1.12 release came earlier than expected. The main reason for this release is the fix for a 4.1.10 regression affecting a lot of users.

A big Thank You to the developers for such an extremely quick response!
The installation of this version went without issues and I had no difficulties in booting into safemode on my Windows VMs.
Great Job!

We are currently replacing all 4.1.12 packages due to this regression. The new packages should be available in a few hours, sorry for the inconveniences!

The 4.1.12.77245 package download links have already replaced the 4.1.12.77218 ones, but the SHA256 checksums are still for 4.1.12.77218...

All packages replaced. The MD5SUMS and SHA256SUMS files have been replaced as well but it will take longer until the download server observes that the file content has changed.

Ubuntu lucid 64 bit. Any attempt to just bring up the GUI for this version causes a seg fault :(

Code: Select all

ben@warez2:~$ virtualbox

Hello All,

The regression that appeared in 4.1.10 with IE9 and WDDM drivers is still there in this new release (reference to my previous message here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=48459&start=15).

As WDDM is in beta, could we expect a fix for this or WDDM must definitely not be used anymore?

Many thanks in advance for your answer.

@Greg86,

I believe your problem is IE9 tries to use acceleration at the GPU level. Simply turning off the GPU acceleration in IE should allow you to use the browser.

Turn IE9 gpu accel on-off

Thanks for the quick answer.

But until version 4.1.8, it was working fine. Why does it happen only now?
Were there any changes around WDDM around that in the two last version?

Right now, I solved the issue by installing basic 3d driver instead of WDDM one.

Thanks in advance.

It says above

This is for 4.1.12, not 4.1.10, just to be sure?
(Hoping for OSX stability on closing VMs)
