Hi, i am using Virtualbox 1.5.0_OSE on Mandriva 2008.0 I installed Windows XP SP2 home edition and it was running just great for ....2 days. Now all of a sudden the XP [running] window closes when it wants and i would like to know what is going on. In Vbox.log i get the following message that i think it would be relevant:
00:00:03.698 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=ae682000 w=640 h=480 bpp=8 cbLine=0x280

Can anyone help me understand and fix the problem? Tks

Re: Virtualbox unexpected crash
You were doing good with two days uptime using 1.5.0 most I could every manage was a few hours upgrade to the latest 1.5.2 it is rock solid I have not seen a crash yet.ionucius wrote:Hi, i am using Virtualbox 1.5.0_OSE on Mandriva 2008.0 I installed Windows XP SP2 home edition and it was running just great for ....2 days.

Not sure how the upgrade works on Mandriva I run Debian all that was required for me was letting the virtualbox package upgrade itself to the newer version from their repository then start the as I had shut it down when I seen the upgrade was going to happen it started fine so no settings loss. As to the stability like I said I have not seen a crash at all when I shut the virtual machine down earlier tonight it had been running for 12 days straight. With the 1.5.0 version if I got 3 or 4 hours of uptime on the virtual machine I was lucky.ionucius wrote:I looked around the forum and i've seen that 1.5.2 has several bugs and it didn't seem tot me that it would be better than 1.5.0. But after all i need it to be more stable; is it?
How do i upgrade virtualbox without uninstalling 1.5.0?, because than i would lose all my setings
