Guest System Linux Mint KDE Hangs on Resume from Pause

I am having a problem with the guest system hanging on resume from pause. I pause the guest system, but when I try to resume, the VM hangs. This happens every time the guest system is paused and resumed. The only resolution is to force quit the guest system.

The relevant portion of the log is below:

Code: Select all

00:03:07.162619 Changing the VM state from 'RUNNING' to 'SUSPENDING'.
00:03:07.173212 AIOMgr: Endpoint for file '/Users/clemsonjim/VirtualBox VMs/Linux Mint KDE/Linux Mint KDE.hdd' (flags 000c0781) created successfully
00:03:07.196533 PDMR3Suspend: 33 873 759 ns run time
00:03:07.196556 Changing the VM state from 'SUSPENDING' to 'SUSPENDED'.
00:03:09.760815 Changing the VM state from 'SUSPENDED' to 'RESUMING'.
I am running the following setup:

MacBook Pro Retina (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge)
Mac OS X 10.7.5 host
Virtual Box 4.2.6

Linux Mint KDE 13 (Ubuntu 12.04) guest
Virtual Box 4.2.6 guest additions installed.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Does the VM really hang, or is the screen just black?

The VM hangs. The screen of the VM is gray striped and the "beach ball" shows up when I try to unpause it. Task manager shows the process as Not Responding

In that case these kinds of problems that are reproducible should be reported to bugtracker. If you have not signed on to Bugtracker before you will need to select a new Nickname to be able to report issues.
It would also help if you can post the ticket number here so other can see the progress, add information, or see the final results.

Curious: in the guest, what are the power management settings?
Most vms need to not sleep and not power-off for suspend/resume.
