| #17969 | worksforme | context menu does not appear VBox GUI 5.2.18 on mac | ||
| Description |
I dare you to make the menu appear on a mac with the latest vbox gui 5.2.18. It is supposed by be host + home keys, but there is no home key on the mac keyboard. Googling suggests using fn + left-arrow as the home key, in combination with the apple-key as host key should work. But despite hours of trying to trick the darn menu into appearing so I could install guest additions, I never succeeded. Oddly enough, I can trigger all kinds of configure-the-menu. But there is no way to make it appear. Yes I tried host+C and host+F to make sure I was NOT in those modes. Why did you choose the Home key which does not appear on a Mac computer? Why can you not make the Home key configurable? Why can you not a button on the damn toolbar that makes the menu popup? |

| #10991 | fixed | console.powerDown() hangs if console.powerButton() failed first | ||
| Description |
Assume a virtual machine which, for whatever reason, doesn't react well to ACPI shutdown requests (you can simulate this by changing /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh to something like #!/bin/sh echo "Ignoring shutdown request" | wall exit 0 On your host, execute the following code (replace UbuntuServer with your vm name). vmname = 'UbuntuServer' from vboxapi import VirtualBoxManager vbox = VirtualBoxManager(None, None) virtualbox = vbox.getVirtualBox() machine = virtualbox.findMachine(vmname) mgr = vbox.mgr session = mgr.getSessionObject(vbox.getVirtualBox()) machine.lockMachine(session, 1) console = session.console console.powerButton() #this won't raise anything, but the VM won't shut down console.powerDown() The last call will leave your VM hanging in a shutting down state - kill -9 is needed to get out of it. Expected behaviour: console.powerDown() should be able to turn off the virtual machine regardless of its state. |
