VirtualBox

6.0.4-dfsg-2 (Debian sid)
  • Enable EFI + VBoxSVGA gives black screen at boot. Must use VBoxVGA.
  • Mouse scrolling issue, very sluggish. Huge latency, slow feeling.
6.0.5 r129923 (Oracle)
  • See below.
6.0.6-dfsg-2 (Debian sid)
  • Same mouse issue as 6.0.4.
6.0.6 r130049 (Oracle)
  • Changed display to VBoxSVGA: Lot of issues. Mouse click not working (drag&drop enabled, like in Win7 vbox). Display artefacts (eg. in Skype). Unstable. Jerky.
  • Changed back to VBoxVGA. Seems better.
  • Black screen freeze in guest. Windows does not react anymore when going in black screen. Must reboot. Occured 3x.
Reverted to 6.0.5 r129923 (Oracle)
  • Using Stability ok-ish.
  • Vbox always consuming ~80% single CPU on host. This is new? Link to 3D accel?
  • Reverted to 6.0.5, mode VBoxVGA.

Stability

uptime
  • We use uptimed (queried via uprecords), and our own crontab script that writes to ~/uptime.log
uprecords -a -B
# uptimed: no useable database found.
#      #               Uptime | System                                     Boot up
