Hi,

does the source code package need to be patched as well?

I build a headless install from source, and the bug is still there.

Thanks

For 3rd party packagers: the patch which needs to be applied to resolve this memset issue (which is due to compilers becoming too smart lately) is https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset?re ... Config.kmk - the Debian/Ubuntu packager reported this applies with a little fuzz, but it works.

The combination that worked for me:

I also can't get 6.1.34 to work, after upgrading from 6.1.28. Dropping back to 6.1.3 as suggested and seems to be fine now.

6.1.34 breaks network VPN connection, graphics display, and both Ubuntu and Windows started freezing.

VirtualBox should release only stable versions once they're tested properly. It's always Russian roulette when upgrading :(
