#12493 closed defect (obsolete)

VB watchdog daemon prevents host shutdown

Reported by: James Moe Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 4.3.4
Keywords: watchdog hang Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Linux

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

openSUSE 13.1
linux 3.11.6-4-desktop x86_64
VBox 4.3.4

After jumping through the hoops to upgrade VBox, the host no longer shuts down. As the message log entries below show, it hangs waiting for "VirtualBox watchdog daemon" to end.

At this time the only way to power off or restart the computer is with the power or reset buttons.
