Seamless Mode Crashes VBoxManager => Fixed in SVN

[seancoy]

When moving a window (in X on guest Centos 6.2) with seamless mode enabled the VM crashes with error:

Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager Has stopped working.

Faulting application name: VirtualBox.exe, version: 4.2.12.0, time stamp: 0x5167d6dc Faulting module name: VBoxOGLhostcrutil.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5167d68b Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000000000016fa8 Faulting process id: 0x1a48 Faulting application start time: 0x01ce3a03b049c2db Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VirtualBox.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxOGLhostcrutil.dll Report Id: 5102ec78-a606-11e2-99c9-a02efbb717d5

This is replicable everytime. Have rebooted guest and host. Does not happen in windowed mode.

No sign of crash in logs on guest.

Guest: CentOS release 6.2 (Final) Host: Windows 7 SP1

Windows error report of application crash.

I get a similar problem with ubuntu 12.04.

Moving a window doesn't always crash the VM, but opening the System & Settings while in Seamless mode always crashes it for me.

This is happening to me as well on VirtualBox 4.2.12, Windows 7 32-bit host, Ubuntu 10.04 guest.

However, it only seemed to happen to me when moving around windows forwarded over SSH using the -Y command line parameter (probably would happen with -X as well). Then again, it might have also happened if I tried moving around larger windows.

Also, all visual enhancements are turned off, which may explain why it crashes faster for others.

Could you attach a minidump here rather than a WER report? See ​http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb787181%28VS.85%29.aspx for detail on creating crash dumps on Win Vista and later.

I upgraded my guest to CentOS 6.4 and reinstalled the 2.4.12 guest additions. The problem still persists.

There is an option named "Enable 3D Acceleration" in the Display settings, I got this issue before, after I uncheck it, the issue was gone.

HTH,

Let me know if you need a build for any non-windows host.

Thanks, it's nice to be able to use seamless mode again. Only been running it for about 5 minutes now, but seems to have fixed the problem completely for me. I can move windows around and open new ones, no crashing.

[seancoy]

Thank you. After installing the 4.2.13 r85147 and guest additions, I've been able to use seamless mode with no problems.

I am having this problem as well with . How would I gain access to 4.2.13-85147? The link is dead

[rzoerner]

I am also having this problem (ver. 4.2.12) but I am trying to run Ubuntu 12.04 guest inside a Windows 7 Pro host (both 64-bit).
