Virtualbox does not work any more after update to 5.2.6

Post by beststevie »

I was using Virtualbox on Windows and Linux hosts on the same machine for 2 years. It worked perfeclty for me until 5.1.2. Then it started to produce more and more errors from one version to the next.

First I stopped using it unter Linux. No more seamless mode and serveral sceneries of crashes.

Today after installing 5.2.6 I get on Windows Host a black screen with blinking cursor when I install Vbox Additions after release update und rebooting the Linux Guest.
Jumping back to an older snapshot makes it running again.

Under Linux the same. VM is destroyed after updating the Vboxadditions.

It's running on a I7 6700 Notebook.

I would not advice to install this upgrade!

cheers
