After todays latest dist-upgrade which included a VirtualBox update, I am finding I cannot run any of my hosts and when I attempt any function, VSIDO logs out with no messages.
I have seen from google this has been an issue in the past few years after updates..
Anyone else seeing it?
Will keep you updated as this progresses
I had the same issue and I believe this is how I fixed it....
sudo su
cd /usr/lib/virtualbox
mv VBoxTestOGL VBoxTestOGL.orig
ln -s /bin/false VBoxTestOGL
Edit:
but I dont have VB installed on this machine so I cant test
^ You 'believe' that is how you fixed it? ??? ???
I'll give it a go..
Thanks lwfitz
HAHA yeah....... it will either fix it or start the self destruct function..... cross your fingers
It did work... I would put in your post to run all of that as root so that anyone else seeking a fix will know that
Nice one lwfitz!
Thanks!
^ Oh yeah, you have to run it as root 8)
Ill edit. Glad it helped.
phew! scary! glad to see a fix was promptly available... not that i do any of my virtualboxing on my vsido box, but my vsido box is my "mission critical" always-on workstation-come-server. ^_^ wouldnt want it to ruin my uptime.
:D
Looking forward to seeing that 'been up for 3 years' screenie down the road
