You might try installing one of the EL7 RPMs on your Fedora system. We have not tested it, but it might work. (I assume this is a recent Fedora.)socratis wrote:Yes, that would be correct.

Unfortunately Michael it does not work (on F26). I'd already tried that before posting. No worries.michael wrote:You might try installing one of the EL7 RPMs on your Fedora system.

Here is a 5.1.25 test build for Fedora 26. Please could you confirm that this build fixes your problem? Thank you!

Re: 5.1.24-117012 excessive memory use
Thanks for that Frank. Yes it also fixes the issue under Linux (F26), I know longer see any audio stream errors in the VM log. I do see that every VM which is powered off though ends up in the 'Aborted' state. Is that expected in this version or do you want any VM logs?

Re: 5.1.24-117012 excessive memory use
No, that's another problem. Hopefully the same problem which we fixed a few hours ago. May I ask you again to install another test build and confirm that after powering off, the VMs are not in 'Aborted' state anymore? The 'Aborted' state means that the VM crashed before the process terminated finally. Thank you!oddsocks wrote:Thanks for that Frank.

Re: 5.1.24-117012 excessive memory use
So far build 117187 has worked as expected. Guests power off normally and there's no memory leak. Thanks Frank.frank wrote: No, that's another problem.
