cannot do "savestate" machine => fixed in SVN/next maintenance

[Kamil Jońca]

When I try to do VBoxManage controlvm hel savestate machine ends in "Aborted" state and in console I have

0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...
Progress state: NS_ERROR_ABORT
VBoxManage: error: Failed to save machine state
VBoxManage: error: The object is not ready
VBoxManage: error: Details: code E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005), component SessionMachine, interface IMachine
VBoxManage: error: Context: "RTEXITCODE handleControlVM(HandlerArg*)" at line 622 of file VBoxManageControlVM.cpp

dmesg shows:

From your log:

00:03:27.742026 OpenGL Warning: Assertion failed: rc == VINF_SUCCESS=0, file /build/virtualbox-kgswdk/virtualbox-6.0.10-dfsg/src/VBox/GuestHost/OpenGL/state_tracker/state_snapshot.c, line 622

Great! Somebody finally filed a bug report about this, I have about a gazillion posts in the forums that need to be tied to a ticket.

storing some technical information from the OpenSuse ticket work here so it does not get lost:

<snip> Is there a fix for the problem reported in ticket 18802 (https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18802)? I have gotten a bug report on the openSUSE Bugzilla (​https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146308)reporting this problem with 6.0.10 and a Windows 7 guest. I have not been able to duplicate the problem. I compared the .vbox files for the two systems. The only things that I see that might cause the problem are as follows (The - lines are from the one that fails.):

         <PAE enabled="false"/>
-        <LongMode enabled="true"/>
-        <HardwareVirtExLargePages enabled="true"/>
+        <LongMode enabled="false"/>
+        <HardwareVirtExLargePages enabled="false"/>
       </CPU>
 
and
 
     <StorageControllers>
-      <StorageController name="IDE" type="PIIX4" PortCount="2" useHostIOCache="true" Bootable="true">
-        <AttachedDevice passthrough="false" type="DVD" hotpluggable="false" port="1" device="0">

         </AttachedDevice>

         </AttachedDevice>
       </StorageController>
     </StorageControllers>

In case I missed something important, I have attached the complete diffs for the two .vbox files. <snip end>

I have attached the file from the Poster as : vbox_config.diff

Actually the offending line is none of these that you (or actually Larry) quoted, the offending line is:

      <Display VRAMSize="256" accelerate3D="true" accelerate2DVideo="true"/>

and more specifically the "accelerate3D="true"" part. If no 3D acceleration is involved, the SavedState does not crash. This was due to a security fix in the 3D code in 6.0.8 that didn't quite go as planned.

I already replied to Larry in the mailing list...

[aeichner]

Thanks for the report, this should be fixed in the next maintenance release.

[Socratis]

@aeichner,

Do you have a changeset and a revision that this got fixed? Is it available in the Testbuilds?

[tenzap]

Problem is also present in 5.2.32 and it looks like it is also fixed in Version 5.2.33 r133021

I have been posting on this thread, ​https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=95861, in the forums. Am I having the same issue?

[Socratis]

Replying to penright:

Am I having the same issue?

No, you're not. That's a completely different issue that has been resolved already...

This was [Fixed] with version 6.0.12, closing it.
