Solaris 11 Express running text mode and VirtualBox

[dpmcintyre]

Does anybody know which packages Solaris 11 Epxress needs in order to run up VirtualBox (ultimately the process that crashes is VBoxSVC) on a remote X server? It core dumps every time.

I've tried both 4.0.14 and 4.1.4 on this system with this kernel/patch
SunOS 5.11 151.0.1.12 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
$ isainfo -k
amd64

VirtualBox does run. I'm currently running a system up within VBoxHeadless

It seems to be something in Qt dealing with fonts..


$ pfexec mdb /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxSVC core

But I can't quite figure out what Qt is looking for here.

Anybody run into this before?

I'm a little confused what exactly you're doing with the debug session. You seem to be debugging a VirtualBox (front-end) core using the VBoxSVC binary. VBoxSVC isn't even linked to libQtGuiVBox.so, only the front-end is, and the file "core" looks to be a VirtualBox (GUI) crash and not VBoxSVC at all.

Also, If you don't have X11 installed, you should be using VBoxHeadless instead. VirtualBox is the GUI, it -needs- Qt/X11 to run.

As for this crash, perhaps try using "VirtualBox -style plastic" to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks.

I run the host server headless, but do run X11 remotely.

But it seems generally something Qt related and not VirtualBox related now.. X apps work, but nothing compiled with Qt does so far.

I found the core file I had was VBoxSVC, so I assumed that was what was crashing and SegFaulting being some process launched out of VirtualBox, but it seems left over from something else, so sorry to bring that up.

I think I'll give up on Qt crashing everything, and just run VBoxHeadless with the PHP control and be happy with that.

Did you try using "-style plastic" to see if that helps?
