Ticket Resolution Summary Owner Reporter
#3510 fixed Out of memory allocating the partition descriptor => fixed in svn Terry Ellison
Description

Forum Topic #14342 refers.

A couple of people have reported this error which seems to relate to a logic flaw in VBoxInternalManage.cpp routine CmdCreateRawVMDK. Looking at the code (search for the title to this report), this is in a loop which is checking that the partition is readable. The way it seems to do this is to malloc ...cPartDataSectors * 512 (that is the size of the entire partition and then reads the entire partition into into this buffer). Needless to say this will barf for anything other than small partition and result this error.

The confusing thing is that the field cPartDataSectors isn't what it's name implies. It is only computed in in the case of extended partitions, meaning that you will only get this error when trying to map logical partitions. This whole logic is definitely flawed.

#3511 fixed Windows rebooting when booting Arch Linux with Host Interface as network adapter Marcus Schätzle
Description

I use Windows XP as host and Arch Linux as guest. Since I experienced a problem of pacman freezing all the time when I want to do an upadte/installation, I tried with host interface instead of NAT as network adapter for a change. Since then, when Arch tries to establish network at boot time, Windows is completly crashing and my PC is booting again. I am aware of Ticket #2827, but it is stated there that this happened to pre-2.6.20 Kernels, my Arch is using a Kernel 2.6.28 though.

#3514 fixed copy and/or paste sometimes stops working between guest and host Stéphane Charette
Description

I typically have guests up and running at a minimum of 1 week at a time at work, sometimes up and running for several weeks before I have to reboot them. But every once in a while, I need to shut down a guest and restart it partway through the week because copy and/or paste has stopped working.

Copy/paste is typically in one of these states:

  1. copy/paste works in both directions (all is fine)
  2. copy/paste works independently on host and guest, but clipboard is no longer shared between the two
  3. copy from the guest can be pasted in the host, but copy from the host does not paste in the guest. (the guest clipboard only has whatever was last copied in the guest)
  4. the reverse of 3. -- copy from host can be pasted in guest, but copy from guest doesn't make it to the host

I typically start using my shared folder and a temporary text file to transfer bits of data I need to share until such a time as I can safely restart the guest. But this is annoying to have to do.

Unfortunately, I don't know what causes this problem to happen. I figured I'd open this ticket to start a discussion with development so the next time it happens I can help debug the situation.
