Freezed debyan system at starting

Post by Fred111111 »

Hi,

I've VirtualBox 5.0.10, host system is Windows 7 professional 64 bit and guest system is Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 64 bit. The guest system is correctly installed. The problem: at the starting, I do login and kde starts. After that sometimes it's all ok, other times Debian is entirely blocked: no mouse and keyboard input, nothing... In this situation the only solution is open task manager in windows (host system) and kill virtual box window.

Any ideas?
Thank you!

(sorry for my english :) )

Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance. As far as the VBox.log.zip goes, here's what you do:
- Start the VM.
- Observe the misbehavior.
- Shut down the VM.
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager.
- Select "Show Log..."
- Save it, ZIP it and attach it in your response.

One thing that you can try (off the top of my head) is to disable 3D acceleration on the guest settings (if it's enabled).

Hi,

in attach the log file. The total memory is 8192 MB, the amount for the virtual machine is 5100MB. The acceleration: paravirtualization is set to default, VT-x/AMD-V and nested paging are enabled.

Thanks!

Close, but not exactly, according to the logs. The difference in the host RAM indicates that you're using a built-in graphics card that does not use its own VRAM, but "steals" RAM from the host. I'm bringing this up because built-in graphics card sometimes can cause problems that are ... graphics related. Like yours.

  1. You have an old version of the Guest Additions installed.
  2. That version is from the Debian fork. You have to install the official guest additions, if you want to continue this discussion. Details on Chapter 4 of the User Manual.

Oh, and a couple more things:
  1. Your host has 2 CPUs. You assigned both of them to your guest. Not a good idea.
  2. Did you try to disable 3D acceleration to see if it works?
  3. Grammar-nazi warning: It's Debian, not Debyan ;)
