"Close Virtual Machine" dialog pop up at boot up.

[Tien Nguyen]

Recently, after upgraded to 2.0.2, I saw at random time (sometime frequently), the "Close Virtual Machine" dialog pop up during boot up. If I click Cancel then the boot process continued without and problem.

My two systems:
Host Ubuntu 8.0.4 AMD64, VirtualBox 2.0.2, Guess Windows XP
Host Ubuntu 8.0.4 x86, VirtualBox 2.0.2, Guess Windows XP

Here is the portion of the log where the VM got suspended:

VM got suspended at boot up

I have the exact same problem with my virtual machine on Ubuntu 7.10 after upgrading to 2.02. Hitting Cancel lets me boot the VM. To me it looks like a mouse-pointer integration bug of some sorts, as I was also seeing "The Virtual Machine reports that the guest OS does not support mouse pointer integration in the current video mode" warning when rebooting the VM.

Attached is the cold-boot-VM-log and the restart-VM-log (Start/Turn Off/Restart).

The boot problem went away after I uninstalled Guest Additions under XP. I can now cold-boot the VM without the Close Virtual Machine dialog appearing.

I never noticed before, but the guest additions that I uninstalled was version 1.62. I'm surprised at the version number because I believe I reinstalled Guest Additions on this VM after upgrading to 2.02.

When I installed Guest Additions from the VM menu, it did say that it was installing Guest Additions version 2.02. Note: The dialog box warning of the unsigned driver appeared under the main dialog, so for a bit I thought the Guest Additions was hung at the "installing video driver..." step.

During reboot the Close Virtual Machine Dialog appeared once again, indicating that this is probably a Guest Additions issue. Again, pressing Cancel let me by the dialog

After installing I confirmed that it was indeed Guest Addtions 2.02 that was installed. The VirtualBox Mouse icon shows that the VM starts up in Mouse Integration mode.

Uninstalling Guest Additions 2.02 allows the VM to start without the Close Virtual Machine Dialog appearing. I will attach the log to this incident as no-guest-addtions.log.

Can someone please change the component to "guest additions" so that it can be fixed by someone working on that code?

Thanks,
