#2392 fixed Control Q making system abort jeff hollon
Description

For the longest time everything has been just great. I am running LinuxMint as the Host and XP SP2 as the guest. When i go to turn off my computer at the end of the day I usually press "control-q" and select 'save system state' and everything is good. Nothing has really changed on my system except i upgraded to 2.0.2 the other day. Now, when i press 'control-q' the guest just goes away and shows as aborted in the main app. I have tried to reinstall, downgrade to 2.0 and still the same. Is there something i can do to fix this. I really enjoyed being able to leave my apps open on my guest os and pick it back up without having to restart programs and such. One other thing. sometimes after the os aborts after the 'control-q' command, when i boot back up, the save state menu shows up when the guest OS finally boots. I have included my last log in case it shows something to someone here.

#2393 duplicate Timer stalls in mode 2 ncafferkey
Description

When the emulated timer runs in mode 2, it counts down from its initial value to 1, but does not then reload the initial value. Instead, it stays at 1.

This behaviour prevents AROS (http://www.aros.org) from booting under VBox.

This is the code used by AROS to initialise the timer:

/* Start the timer2 */
outb((inb(0x61) & 0xfd) | 1, 0x61); /* Enable the timer (set GATE on) */
outb(0xb4, 0x43); /* Binary mode on Timer2, count mode 2 */
outb(0x00, 0x42); /* We're counting whole range */
outb(0x00, 0x42);

And this is the code used to read the timer's value:

/* Latch the current time value */
outb(0x80, 0x43);

/* Read out current 16-bit time */
time = inb(0x42);
time += inb(0x42) << 8;

This works on real machines and on several other emulators. I don't know if it's much different from what other OSs do.

#2394 obsolete 64-bit Opensolaris guest boot errors on 64-bit OpenSolaris host running NIS bqbauer
Description

I have three host installations of 64-bit OpenSolaris 2008.05 running VB 2.0.2 (amd64). On most I have no problems installing 64-bit guests, including OpenSolaris 2008.05 as a guest. However, if the OpenSolaris 64-bit HOST is running as an NIS client, then the OpenSolaris 64-bit GUEST, including LiveCD, boots extremely slowly and with the following errors, no matter if the guest machine has been configured with or without these options: network card (none), audio card (none), serial (none).

Guest Errors (repeated):

Method "/usr/sbin/avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd -D" failed with exit status 255. Method "/lib/svc/method/inetd-updatde start" failed due to signal KILL. gdm-binary....WARNING: Failed to start X server several times in a short time period...

The errors are not present if VT is disabled and therefore 32-bit OpenSolaris is used. ACPI has been enabled in all tests, and mixtures of the other two settings have also been tested.

The two computers used to test NIS were a Dell Precision 380 with 8GB memory and Pentium D 3GHz, the next was a Thinkpad Z61p with a core2Duo and 2GB memory that had been working with OpenSolaris as a host AND guest. I made the Thinkpad an NIS client, and then this problem materialized both with the installed version and with a LiveCD guest, just as described above. A third system that has never seen NIS runs OpenSolaris as a 64-bit host and guest perfectly (It is a Shuttle SX38P2 Pro).

OpenSolaris runs NIS as a client fine and I don't think it is an OpenSolaris issue since this happens with a raw LiveCD boot with no networking in the guest whatsoever. It is this mix of OpenSolaris 64-bit GUEST on an OpenSolaris 64-bit HOST running NIS that makes the GUEST fail to boot properly.

Although I've not been able to track down the settings that most influence this problem, I have found that having in your HOST's /etc/nsswitch.conf the "bad" entries below seems also to help manifest the VB problem, but the "good" entries do not. In both situations, NIS must actually be running and working for this to have an impact. Recall that this is in spite of the fact that your guest can be configured without a network card and the problems still occur.

BAD: hosts: files nis dns GOOD: hosts: files dns nis

BAD: aliases: files nis GOOD: aliases: nis files

Sorry to be so verbose, but it can be difficult to describe the specifics of how & when this manifests, but it has only happened in the situations described.
