machine is not getting locked

Post by openregex »

Hi
I am using opensuse[guest] with virtualbox 4.2.18 r88780 on win 7. If opensuse is locked and I hover over to screen it becomes unlocked without any interaction.
I went through options in virtualbox but counldn't find any.

is it a bug?


Thanks

Moved to "Linux Guests" forum.

You're describing a software feature of the guest. Why would you conclude this has anything to do with VirtualBox at all?

Hi

When I lock machine myself it never gets unlocked by hovering over it but if it gets locked automatically it just unlocks by hovering over machine. There is no feature to automatically unlock by moving mouse, at least to my knowledge.
Thats why I assumed it was virtualbox issue and not linux/openssue issue.
I'll test with another distro as well and report
