#664 fixed kstart --iconify VBoxManage startvm "WinXP"" changes resolution to 640x480 -> fixed in SVN/1.5.2 vatbier
Description

Mandriva Linux 2007.1
KDE 3.5.6

When my computer boots into KDE I want that Virtualbox automatically start "Snapshot 1" of my virtual WinXP.
I can do this with a script in ~/.kde/Autostart:

#!/bin/sh
VBoxManage snapshot "WinXP" discardcurrent -state
kstart --iconify VBoxManage startvm "WinXP"

With "kstart --iconify" the virtualbox window starts minimized just as I want it. When I use the virtualbox window it shows my virtual WinXP desktop at resolution 1024x768.
But when I press HOST+F to fullscreen (1280x1024), and then press HOST+F again to come out of fullscreen, the WinXP desktop changes to resolution 640x480 in stead of 1024x768.
That's very annoying for me: nowadays I do work in Visual C++ in the virtual WinXP mostly fullscreen but sometimes I go out of fullscreen mode to do some stuff with KDE/Linux and at the same time work with Visual C++ in the virtualbox window. But the virtualbox window needs to stay at 1024x768, I can't work with Visual C++ with resolution 640x480.
I can change the WinXP display setting from 640 to 1024. Then I can go in and out of fullscreen mode and it will stay at 1024.
This only happens with command "kstart --iconify VBoxManage startvm "WinXP"". When I just use "VBoxManage startvm "WinXP"" it stays at resolution 1024.
I guess it has to with "kstart --iconify": maybe because the virtualbox window starts iconified(=minimized), Virtualbox doesn't save that the resolution of the virtualbox window is 1024.

So can you developers please change the way how Virtualbox saves the resolution of the virtualbox window when it starts a snapshot of a virtual machine: when the virtualbox window starts minimized you should save the display setting when it is not minimized.

In the mean time could you provide me with an easy WinXP command/script that I can click on my virtual WinXP desktop to change immediately the display setting from 640x480 to 1024x768? That seems to me now the fastest solution to my problem. Off course I will try myself to find on the Internet how to do that WinXP command.

#665 fixed VirtualBox Aborts on WSUS 3 install bingojed
Description

I've been trying to get WSUS 3, Windows Server Update Services, the newest version, installed on my VBox 1.50 VM.

It gets through most of the way, and then the whole VM is aborted. It doesn't always seem to crash at the exact same spot, but always towards the end of the install.

It did this on 1.40 also. I was excited when 1.50 came out as I was hoping it would fix this.

My host is a Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop/Server (mixed).

My guest is a Windows Server 2003, MS SQL 2005 SP2, AD DC.

I've tried it with 256, 512, and 1gb of RAM. I've tried installing it on the primary C and secondary E drives. I've tried clipboard on/off, networking NAT or bridged, mouse integration on/off. I've completely recreated an entirely new VM in 1.50 (instead of my upgraded 1.4) and it always always crashes on install. No error messages or warning signs, just kablooey ABORTED. This is not a blue screen, or Windows crashing as far as I can tell.

I can't imagine WSUS 3 is all that complicated a program. I've installed the newest version of SMS - SCCM 2007, Softgrid, and a host of other things, but WSUS 3 is the only thing that seems to crash it like this.

Thanks.

VirtualBox cannot determine the type of my distribution (neither in host nor in guest mode). I use Arch Linux with 2.6.22-ARCH kernel.
