Take Snapshot of Virtual Machine hang-up

Post by whatdoesitwant »

Working with VirtualBox Ubuntu guest on windows 7 rc 7100 host, I noticed two redoable errors.

1
I like to document what I do. Snapshot Description allows you to select the description. It does not allow right click to copy. When I try to do this, the VirtualMachine freezes. After ctr-alt-del and restart of machine the machine state seems to be the same as it was at the moment of the snapshot.
2
The next is probably a windows thing. After making windows host hibernate with virtualbox running, and then waking up windows host again, the virtualbox guest appears to be running fine. But the copy function between host and guest and vice versa is lost.

With regard to both points I wonder if this can be reproduced on vista host or if it is just a windows 7 rc glitch?

I do not have these issues and I am running Vista as host on one of my computers. I would suspect that the issue you are having are due to the Windows 7RC and the fact that it is not fully supported yet. I am sure that it will improve as it gets closer to full release.
