To Do
Done
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)
- 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.
