Description
HOST: Linux Mint 19.1/Cinnamon + VirtualBox 5.2.24 first, then 6.0.4 GUESTS: Windows 10 Home, Windows 7 Prof, both worked fine until
I SET a new USB FILTER for Win10 (I am in the vboxusers group) and then I started Win10 : just a black screen appeared, nothing else. I could nor stop it, neither kill it from a terminal. Then I even had my Linux host to force to stop with the power button, too.
TESTS
- After a new Linux host start I started Vbox again (now without any modification) and then Win7 guest. Same result as above.
- I deleted completely VirtualBox 5.2.24 with all its files, even the VM-s from my laptop, (they were exported not long ago to an external drive). Then I installed VirtualBox 6.0.4 and its Extension Pack, and imported my 2 Windows VMs. They both worked fine again. I installed the apropriate GuestAdditions in both. Still ok. I could work with them well.
Then I added myself to the vboxusers, rebooted Linux and started VirtualBox again. I set a new USB filter for Win10 and started it. Black screen again which could not be killed, and Linux could not be stopped.
- After a new start I tested my Win7 guest as well, neither works it any more. Black screen, stuck, Lx can't be stopped.
I think some Vbox configuration goes bad... I use Vbox since many years, and I do not rememeber similar problem. In a formerly Vbox version I could set USB filters, however I do not remeber the version number unfortunately. Anyhow, I appreciate Vbox very much, it is an excellent work.
Two processes which absolutely can't be killed after a VM stuck (black screen)
