Description
VirtualBox freezes on startup for 2 to 6 startups until it finally starts. I've got to kill it with xkill or killall and restart it before the GUI shows up correctly, else I only see a gray square. I will attach a strace and core dump file of the frozen state.
Here is a backtrace when frozen. #0 0xffffe424 in kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb7f7b12b in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #2 0xb781c6d3 in VBoxGlobal::platformInfo () from /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.so #3 0xb78b8c26 in VBoxUpdateDlg::search () from /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.so #4 0xb78215a0 in VBoxGlobal::showUpdateDialog () from /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.so #5 0xb78058cb in TrustedMain () from /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.so #6 0x080496c9 in ?? () #7 0x08048d7b in ?? () #8 0xb7d635fe in libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6 #9 0x08048c71 in ?? () (gdb)
And the strace gets blocked at waitpid and won't move at all, even after 15 minutes.
