Linux Guest Hangs
| Reported by: | Steven Sroka | Owned by: | |

Description (last modified by )
During the uptime of a VM my guest Linux OS hangs seemingly randomly. Most recently it happened while running Kubuntu 10.04. I do not have Guest Additions installed, which is when this issue happens most often.
I was installing packages at the time of the hang on the host. During the hang, I can move the mouse around within the VM, but not click anything. If I was clicking something, like a button, at the moment the VM hanged, the button remains depressed.
The network and hard drive icons in the status bar of the VM window, do not change - they are idle once the hang happens. Nonetheless the USB icon lights up when I move my mouse.
It's almost as if all I/O is suspended.

Can you still do VT switches on the guest (Host+Fn)? Then you might be able to find out a bit more about what is happening.

I believe there could be an IO bottleneck somewhere - then again what do I know about Virtualbox? This bug is also a duplicate of multiple other bugs.
I can check the VT's and see what I can find, but this report can be marked as a duplicate.
BTW, this problem sill exists in 4.1

Please change the chipset type from ICH9 to PIIX3. Does that fix your problem?

So this problem vanished just by updating to 4.1.8 or did you change VM setting?

Sorry I should have been more specific. The problem vanished after an upgrade to 4.1
