Oh well, back to vrde I guess. It seems weird that this just
started a week or so ago. If I find something I'll let you know.<br>

The crash is in the code which converts between RGB and BGR color order
when updating a rectangle. So either the buffer pointers are busted or
it incorrectly copies more data than it should.

Hope that you either built the package on the same system, or on a
system which has exactly the same version. The data structures for the
VNC library change occasionally, and they're not particularly good with
symbol versioning which means that the application will link fine
against the .so file, but later crash because the calling code assumes a
different data layout than the library.

The problem with such cores for custom built packages is that we'd need
the matching package, debug info and information about the OS version,
bitness, special packages and so on. Otherwise gdb would most likely say
that it can't make sense out of the core.

I use VNC and build the extension pack which has been working really well.
So is there a way to get this back to operational status or do I need to
switch back to VRDP?

<pre wrap="">My suspicion is that the VM process crashes... can you enable core dumps
to see if this hypothesis is right, or run the VM process directly in
gdb? You build everything yourself, so it shouldn't be a problem to have
the debug info available. Could be that your libvncserver is newer and
has a slightly incompatible API somewhere.
I've tried a similar setup (VBox trunk, matching GA, VNC enabled, VT-x
disabled), but I couldn't get any crashes. Used a different guest OS and
a different linux distro on the host, but this shouldn't really have a
significant influence. Tried with and without a VNC viewer connected.
I guess that you run the VM in the GUI, because I wasn't able to find a
VNC viewer which would trigger resizes when its window is resized.
Any obvious patterns for the resize resolution (we removed a "multiple
of 4" restriction for the horizontal resolution recently) which causes
crashes? Does it ever survive a resize?

<pre wrap="">Strange issue this time.
Latest batch of builds, not sure exactly when, but within the last
week. When resizing the guest (mouse click drag) it aborts. Nothing in
the guests log file (no shut down, resize information, or reason it
just stops recording) or syslog of the guest. Just like you pulled the
plug. Only indication is the main manager shows aborted.
Host Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 (no VT-x)
Guest Ubuntu 12.04 X86_32 with PAE
Everything else works good, including all new features, well except it
is really slow and has been for some time, but usable to test with.
I increased the vRAM to 64MB from 12MB but that does not seem to be
the issue.
I removed Version matching GAs and installed 4.1.18, but no change so
I don't think it is the GAs.
Turned off 3D so that is not the issue.
Note: I do not see this on a matching Ubuntu host with VT-x.
Didn't I say strange?
