virtualbox.org

I've been experiencing some very strange behavior with ubuntu 12.04 appearing to freeze up. I don't think that it is froozen just will not take any keyboard or mouse input. The only thing that works is the mouse movements, and the alt and ctrl key.

I am developing a java app in eclipse and when I place a breakpoint in a event listener everything freezes up and it will no longer take any input. I don't expect anyone is going to know the answer to this but I am at a loss on where to even troubleshoot this. any ideas on how to potentially troubleshoot are appreciated.

Thanks,
Zach

Post the guests log file (as an attachment)
See Online Users Manual for the location of the file.

As well as the following:

From the hosts terminal/command window type VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> --details and post here. Replace <VM Name> with the actual name of the VM. Use " " if the name has a space in it.

Note if the host is Windows you need to be in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe for the command to work.

Thank you very much for any help. Let me know if there are any other details I can provide about my environment. Attached are the requested log files.

D'n'D should be set to host -> guest, Bidirectional is not implemented yet. Over commit of cores. Your processor only has 2 cores and you really should leave one for the host. Set it to one and at most 2. You need to enable 3D in the guests settings and set the vram to 32MB You also need to update the guest additions to match your installed version of VirtualBox.

I see you're using VMDK disk format. Did you create this VM using VirtualBox?

I created the vmdk in virtual box, I didn't import it.

I made all the updates that you suggested, and restarted the guest OS after installing the updated guest additions and still having the same symptoms.

It's wierd when I configure the guest in vitual box it says there are 8 CPU's available, so I did half, or 4.. I have a Intel core i7 processor..

Thanks!

Intel muddies the waters by reporting threads as cores. Notice that Perry provided a link to the Intel page that describes your CPU.
