Re: Virtualbox 4.2.6 hangs in Mac OS X ML
I have a core i5 MBA with ML.
I have the same issue.
I open it and it just hangs.
I installed 4.2.4 and all my VMs are gone.
The data is there but they are not showing up.

Yes. I don't see how it's relevant though.loukingjr wrote:there was a test 4.2.5

Re: Virtualbox 4.2.6 hangs in Mac OS X ML
No SSD here and I bet it's not an issue of permissions. All my VMs (twelve) are displayed in the Virtualbox Manager (left side, in 2 groups) but when populating the info of the current VM (right side) it just take ages (first shows the general tab, then the preview... etc) and just stops/hangs.loukingjr wrote: 4.2.5 and 4.2.6 were changed to work with the ivy bridge processors so I suppose it's odd 4.2.4 works but at any rate, perhaps you have an extension that is only affecting 4.2.6?

And no extension installed on 4.2.6. The only extension I install (ex: in 4.2.4) is the "Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack".

Re: Virtualbox 4.2.6 hangs in Mac OS X ML
I'm sorry. I meant any third party extensions installed on the Mac itself. There have been many an extension that has interferred with one program or another.kimus wrote:No SSD here and I bet it's not an issue of permissions.

Re: Virtualbox 4.2.6 hangs in Mac OS X ML
I can't say. I don't use afloat but you could always disable/uninstall it and see. Or you could try booting in safe mode.kimus wrote:Only AFloat that I know off... only afects Cocoa applications right?loukingjr wrote:I'm sorry.

I see the problem. I wish I knew what caused it.

Re: Virtualbox 4.2.6 hangs in Mac OS X ML
Anyone thought of using VBoxManage to see whether VirtualBox is completely blocked/hung or just the GUI? Is it possible to start VMs, either via VBoxManage or with VirtualBox --startvm?
So far we have a problem with affects a small but non-zero number of people, no reproduction scenario, and no obvious clues...

Re: Virtualbox 4.2.6 hangs in Mac OS X ML
Works fine (after installing the extension pack for my VMs using USB 2.0). Even going to Settings of the VM works fine!!michaln wrote:Anyone thought of using VBoxManage to see whether VirtualBox is completely blocked/hung or just the GUI?

Only VBoxManager hangs.
BTW, I've uninstalled AFloat also and still hangs/blocks!

Re: Virtualbox 4.2.6 hangs in Mac OS X ML
giving up?
Re: Virtualbox 4.2.6 hangs in Mac OS X ML
Virtualbox became completely useless for me on ML. No fix for the hang issue even with the latest upgrade. Is there any trick?
