Description
Virtualbox 4.0.0-69151~Ubuntu~maverick The host is Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and the guest is Windows XP Pro SP3.
With the VM powered off when I click the Settings button the Virtualbox GUI dissapears and core is dumped.
I had installed all the four 4.0 betas and I didn't notice this problem so far. (I don't check settings that much though)
I'm attaching the log and the core.

The core dump is too big to be attached here. You may download it from http://www.psw.ro/tmp/vbox/core.2562.bz2

I have this problem too, with exactly same hardware and versions of host/guest.

Same here, on a debian host, crashes on opening settings for every kind of guests.

I remember reading somewhere that its possible to change some of the settings from within the running guest (change memory allocation if i remember correctly) - does anybody know of a way to add usb or shared folders from within run running guest? I feel like it should be possible

Maybe done through vboxmanage command? http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#settings-usb ? (sorry if i shouldn't be posting a workaround here)

For me its crashing on Suse 11.3 / 64 with KDE 4.5x.
Seems to be on KDE Desktop. On Gnome it works for me.

See also #7909. Probably duplicate.

Same problem here: kUbuntu 10.10 x64
I can open settings when clicking a title (e.g. General or Storage) on the right side of the VB Manager while VM is powered off. Setting dialog opens as usual and changes can be made.

Hi, great!
At least sometimes/for some vms, it works by clicking general; for others, it works when selecting snapshots (see comment 9), then the button.
I tried some more debugging; unfortunately, it crashes deep inside the (optimised) qt libraries, in inline code, so I'm unable to examine all data ...
@Oracle: Is the cause of the problem known, or should we investigate further? Maybe we should gather the QT versions we are using, here, to find out whether it is a qt version problem ...
Are there also i386-users who have this problem?
- System: Opensuse 11.3 x64
- Qt: libqt4-4.6.3-8.3.x86_64 from openbuildservice, not the opensuse original one

The cause is unknown but nevertheless I hope we can fix the problem quite soon.
comment:14 Changed 12 years ago by frank
Unfortunately still unable to reproduce. roentgen, could you attach the compressed output of dpkg --get-selections? Thank you!
comment:15 Changed 12 years ago by frank
Thanks. All: Does this crash only happen for 64-bit hosts or for 32-bit hosts as well?
comment:16 Changed 12 years ago by frank
Now we were able to reproduce it the first time. Changing the widget style from Default (Oxygen) to another style prevents the crash here.
comment:17 Changed 12 years ago by csbac
Mh. I tried various window decorations and various desktop designs ... still same results ..
Glassified+Redmond, looks awful, still crashes ...
Sorry, Sebastian
comment:18 Changed 12 years ago by frank
Widget style please, not Windows decorations.
comment:19 Changed 12 years ago by frank
comment:20 Changed 12 years ago by csbac
Yeah, Great, Crash is Gone!
Btw, I switched "Erscheinungsbild von Anwendungen", "Stil" from Oxygen to anything else ... VBox still used Oxygen and still crashed. Strange, but doesn't matter any longer.
Thanks, Sebastian

Thanks for the reports and the testing. Fixed in the next minor release.

Could you tell me the rev number? I am interested in backporting this fix and I cannot seem to find it in the public SVN trunk. The last checkin there is a couple days before this bug was marked fixed.
comment:23 Changed 12 years ago by stefan.becker
Testbuild checked with Opensuse 11.3 and it works now.
comment:24 Changed 12 years ago by stefan.becker
And checked on Linux Mint (like Ubuntu 10.10). Same, working OK now.
comment:25 Changed 12 years ago by frank
- Status changed from new to closed
