20832	Fedora-35 HOST + Windows 10/11 GUEST: Keyboard entries and Touchpad Taps stop responging, after ~10m	nyceyes		"Dear Friends:

I have a bug that I've been facing for approaching 2-years (19-months, actually). No matter what I do, the bug remains. Let me explain.

The bug, which I describe further below, first appeared in '''August''' of '''2020''' on '''Fedora-32 64-bit''', which is the '''HOST''' O/S. Back then, I had hoped that the bug would be confined to a particular '''Fedora Kernel''' and waited for the next one; but as I upgraded Fedora-32 Kernels, the bug persisted.

Then, I eventually upgraded to '''Fedora-33''' (again, the '''HOST'''), and the bug persisted through that Fedora version and through all of its Kernels, as well. The same occurred with '''Fedora-34'''.

For '''Fedora-35''', I decided to reinstall everything from scratch: I reinstalled '''Fedora-35''' ('''HOST''') from scratch; as well as reinstalled '''Windows-10''' ('''GUEST'''). Without customizing much, except to apply the '''Extension Pack''' and '''Guest Additions''', I launched a Windows-10 VM (with everything fresth). The bug immediately surfaced. It always takes about ~5 to 10 minutes to occur, by the way.

Now, all of this was on a '''Lenovo''' '''Y700-17isk''' Laptop.

So, I decided to do the same procedure on an '''ASUS G750 Rogue''' Laptop: I installed '''Fedora-35''' ('''HOST''') from scratch; as well as installed '''Windows-10''' ('''GUEST''') from scratch. Without customizing much, except to apply the '''Extension Pack''' and '''Guest Additions''', I launched a Windows-10 VM (with everything fresh). The bug immediately surfaced. 

No matter what I do, I cannot get rid of this bug. I think that circa '''August 2020''', either '''Fedora''' and/or '''VirtualBox''' changed something that is causing this long-running bug.

'''THE PROBLEM''':

-- I first reported this problem on '''August 2020''' ('''Lenovo Y700-17isk''' laptop) [https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=99328 here]

-- Then, I reported this problam again yesterday, '''February 2022''' ('''ASUS G750 Rogue''') [https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=105295 here]


Here is a paste of yesterdays description for your convenience:


{{{
VirtualBox Version..................: 6.1.32_rpmfusion
HOST O/S............................: Fedora-35
HOST Kernel.........................: 5.14.10-300.fc35.x86_64
GUEST O/S (with latest updates......: Windows-11 (happens with Windows-10, as well)

}}}


What happens is this: VirtualBox is working perfectly (Network, Audio, Shared Drive, Cut & Paste, Keyboard & Mouse Capture, Mapped USB Devices, etc); but then suddenly, after, say, 5 to 10 minutes, the Keyboard stops responding to Keystrokes, and the Touchpad stops responding to Taps. The only thing that responds is moving the mouse-cursor around by swiping around the Touchpad, but that's it. This happens whether or not the GUEST (Windows 10 / 11) is in Fullscreen mode or Window mode. Except for being able to move the mouse-cursor around, Keystrokes and Touchpad Taps stop working inside the GUEST window, or around it on the HOST. The only option I have to to crash the Laptop by holding the power-button down. Actually, I did try to SSH into the HOST from another server, and while it does initiate the SSH connection, it never can never actually log in. So the HOST is still quote/unquote kind of running, but in a hobbled state.

I should also mention that this issue arises even with more basics setups: USB disabled; Audio disabled; Network with LAN or Bridged; etc.

Please help me. I think this is a real bug. It persists no matter what I do. For the better part of two-years, I haven't been able to use VirtualBox.

I can upload or add more information. Just let me know what you need.

Thank you in advance!"	defect	new	other	VirtualBox 6.1.32		Fedora, Mouse, HID, Bug, Freeze		Windows	Linux
