I tried this 10-15 times on my ubuntu guests (one xenial and one trusty) but this always failed with "Connection reset by peer".
Glad I finally found this thread! I've been trying to troubleshoot this all afternoon.

On Arch I was trying to run this and getting connection reset by peer as well:

Code: Select all

gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu 1EB2638FF56C0C53
I also got weird issues with using apm (Atom's package manager) when trying to install packages. Same commands work just fine on a real install of Arch or OS X, but not in Virtualbox.

It worked in my case, but please test it yourselves.

@Poil
Can you provide an example (or two) ?

Test build seems to have fixed my problems (gpg key retrieval and installing apm packages).

@abutler
Thank you for the reply. I'll post an update in the main bug report (#16084) so that the developers know.

Hi,

I think I've found when I have a connection reset with the 5.1.19 release.
All websites where I have a connection reset have a KeepAlive Off

Best regards

*EDIT* :
My support team have enable "KeepAlive" on our Confluence instance. I have no more problem with virtualbox.
So when we have multiple SSL negociation we still have a problem on 5.1.19

*EDIT 2*
I've also had the problem on a Rundeck and a Request Tracker instance, it is also fixed after the configuration of KeepAlive on Apache

this appears to be pretty well defined at this point, but i just wanted to add that i have been experiencing this same problem once upgrading to 5.0.28 two or three weeks ago. i'm so happy i found this thread -- i was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what was going on. my host is a mac mini running el capitan (10.11.6). i was seeing problems for some (but not all) websites in firefox. unfortunately, it was happening on the main website i use the vm for. furthermore, because of how firefox displays messages, i didn't have enough info to know what was happening at a communication level...just a generic error page that said the "secure connection failed", "the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading", and "the page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified". not very helpful, and made me go down rabbit holes with site certs, ca trusts, etc. downgrading firefox to several different versions didn't help. i did that because at first i thought it might just be firefox (and i have to use firefox for this site/application). but then i realized the problems happen in chrome and ie also. this was happening on a win10 64-bit guest, but then i went back to a win7 32-bit guest and it was doing it there as well. from reading this thread, i switched my network setting from nat to bridged and that resolved it. looking forward to a new release with a fix.

Fixed with latest testbuild Version 5.1.9 r111957 (Qt5.6.2).
