Show button doesn't do anything in VB 7.0.2

Post by GTech »

Hi,

I upgraded from 6.1.32 to 7.0.2 and now for none of my VM's the 'Show' button seems to do anything. In the previous version a popup windows would open.
The preview seems to be ok. I tried starting both headless and detachable but it didnt't help.
I have Version 7.0.2 r154219 (Qt5.15.2) with ditto Expansion Pack installed. VirtualBox runs on Windows Server 2019 and it happens with Windows and Ubuntu VM's.
How can I fix this?

If you can revert to 6.1 and the Show function starts working again, then back to 7.0 and it stops working again, then it would look like a 7.0 bug. A log from 6.1 working and 7.0 failing, zipped and posted via the forum's Upload Attachment tab, would possibly be helpful

Okay will do. Here's the log for an Ubuntu 22.04.1 VM in VB 7.0.2. I will post the VB 6.1 version later since I'm not able to revert right now.

I just wanted to mention that upgrading 7.0.4 resolved my issue.

Curious whether anyone has a solution for this problem. I upgraded from v6 to Version 7.0.6 r155176 (Qt5.15.2) and the "show" button doesn't open my vm's.

Still not working in 7.0.6

I also have this issue with 7.0.6 R155176, installed on a Win10 host. Can confirm it doesn't work with either a Debian or Rocky/CentOS guest at the very least.

EDIT: Full uninstall and reinstall fixed.
