| #12909 | obsolete | power off while VBox running clobbers VMs | ||
| Description |
I've been running W7 guest on Linux for a long time. The other day, something locked up on my Linux host which required a power cycle. VBox was running two W7 VMs. When I tried to return to these 2 VMs, they were both marked "inaccessible". the *.vbox[-prev] files were completely missing. Finally managed to recreate them and use the existing HD images. However, this has clobbered the Windows activation. Tried to recover by copying over backups of *.vbox; but this doesn't help. Unable to find a solution for restoring the activation. |

| #7032 | obsolete | possible regression in 3.2.4: blank (white) window when restoring from saved state | ||
| Description |
This has been discussed on http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=31941 Please see that thread for detailed information including log files. After upgrading from 3.2.2 to 3.2.4 saved machine states can not be successfully restored. They come up with a blank (white) window in the top left corner of the screen with the titlebar off the screen. This is a Windows 7 64bit host with Gentoo Linux guest, but other combinations have shown the same symptoms (see the forum thread). When you resize the machine window Windows 7 automatically recenters such that you now see the titlebar, however, the window is still completely blank and does also not show the menu bar. Forcing a machine power off (using the close button in the top right window corner) and restarting the powered off machine works as expected, no problems there. This is 100% reproducible, in 3.2.4 restoring saved states doesn't work, powering off and powering on again works just fine. Reverting to 3.2.2 solves the problem for me. With 3.2.2 saved states can be restored just fine. This might help as well: after reverting back to 3.2.2, when I first restarted the (forcefully) powered off machine I got the same symptoms(!). The system did appear to be starting fine though (disk activity etc.), although nothing was shown in the machine window. When the boot up sequence reached the X Windows start, the machine window was repainted and now the menu bar and everything appeared. From then on, everything has been working fine again, including several save/restore and power off/power on cycles. Not sure how to make sense of this. In 3.2.2 it only occurred for the machine that was forcefully powered off using 3.2.4, while in 3.2.4 it only occurred for save/restore cycles, not for forced power off/power on cycles. Weird, isn't it? |

| #1098 | wontfix | portability / standalone-app | ||
| Description |
I'd very much like to see the application running without an installation. I'd like to be able to have VirtualBox on a 16GB memory stick for example which I can carry around instead of a laptop. It is not always possible to install VirtualBox since you need Administrator rights. Having to install system drivers on a remote PC is not desirable. It would be nice if VirtualBox were able to run with basic functionality in a plug and play manner. |
