[Solved] VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
[Solved] VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
Anything wrong with Debian/MX Linux updates recently? I had VirtualBox running OK with MX Linux virtual machine installed and running perfectly. a few hours ago, it gone bananas. I deleted the virtual machines, installed new virtual machines. Still bananas. Not booting if I change to systemd! Even Debian installed OK till the end, but doesn't boot! I tried several times with Debian and MX Linux as guests.
I did the same and tried both guest OS on both VirtualBox and virt-manager.
I had VirtualBox with MX guest installed and using systemd on guest for a few weeks, till it started this a few hours ago.
Anybody experiencing such problems? Is it a problem with an update?
By the way, I just installed MX Linux as guest on VirtualBox, still defaults and didn't change anything or change to systemd.
I could boot after installation one time only. Rebooting, it does not do anything after I enter my user password thoug I didn’t change anything or even update.
I think it is something related to a recent update because I had everything working fine for a several weeks. Kernel perhaps?
Any feed back will be highly appreciated.

Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
Hello,
Does the Debian server (used as a VM host) boot/work correctly?
Are only the guest VMs affected (you can't boot them)?

Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
I guess so. Virtual machines boot till the login screen but nothing happens after that. Just a blank screen and does not log in to KDE

Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
Does MX/Debian run as LiveUSB in V-Box, Gnome-Boxes or Virt-Manager?

Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
Hello,
Yesterday Debian released a security update of the kernel for Debian Bookworm.
I successfully installed it in my Debian Bookworm 12.5 host and Debian Bookwork 12.5 KVM guest (running xfce).
What is the kernel version in your VM host and VM guests ? You can use the following command in a virtual console of both host and guests:
What do you mean for "login screen" ?

Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
The login screen: The virtual machine boots, till I get a screen to enter the password for the current user (a single user that is my user name), it is supposed after that to give me the KDE desktop, but I never get it. All what I get a dark screen with nothing on it.Aki wrote: ↑2024-04-14 12:46 Hello,What do you mean for "login screen" ?

The kernel version: It is the default kernel, and I do updates regularly. So, it is the latest default kernel.
You say KVM guest, I think it is different from VirtualBox. But I tried virt-manager (which I assume uses KVM), but had same issue.
Do you mean only KVM without virt-manager and without virtualbox?
Maybe it is an issue with KDE in particular (as you are using XFCE)?

Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
I don't have any problem with either VirtualBox or virt-manager (qemu/kvm). I am running Debian Sid, fully updated, on AMD Ryzen+Radeon APU. But I don't think that should make any difference.
Another difference is that I installed Debian from the hybrid live-built iso and not from netinstall. We have noticed some subtle but sometimes critical differences with packages installed in these different systems. However, I am not knowledgeable enough to find out what and how. Apparently some support packages were not installed if we started the Debian system from netinstall.

Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
I'm having no difficulty with VirtMan in Debian. Which version do you have? I'm on 4.1.0, which apt reports is the most recent available.
Among other things, I just successfully upgraded an MX-23 VM to the 6.1.0-20 kernel, where the Debian host already had been upgraded to said kernel.
Not having trouble with VBox either, but I'm still using 7.0.12 because I don't upgrade that unless the change log suggests a good reason.

Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
Hello,
See here:
You may start Debian, try to login (replicating the problem), then switch to a guest VM virtual console (search the instruction for your VM host) and get a copy of your system logs with the following command for further investigation:
Code: Select all
sudo apt install pastebinit
journalctl -b --no-pager > log.txt
pastebinit log.txt

Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
@pbear: thanks for reporting.
@limotux: posting the same topic to multiple forums at the same time is a waste of human resources. Please avoid doing this in the future.
Re: VirtualBox and Virt-manager insane!
Please accept my apology.
Maybe I was mistaken, I just thought that MX is based on Debian and it follows Debian, so I considered both forums can help. I posted there because it is the distro I am having the problem with, and posted here because this is the origin/father of MX Linux.
But you know what, after trying MX Linux for a few days, I am back to Debian.
I simply find it much better suiting me and my needs and fits the quality I am looking for much much more than MX Linux.
