Video display corrupts when using shared folders

Reported by: brian Assigned to:
Priority: critical Component: shared folders
Version: VirtualBox 1.6.4 Keywords:
Cc: Guest type: Windows
Host type: other

Description

I have configured shared folders to work with my $host_os:~ however, whenever I try to access it from my WinXP Pro guest, within a few seconds of access, the video display of the guest will get corrupt. I have attached an example of this corruption. As soon as the display corrupts the VBox.log says: 

00:01:23.286 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=b22d0000 w=1312 h=890 bpp=0 cbLine=0x480
00:01:23.286 VBVA: Disabled.

Of course there is no actual display resize at this point. It was simply trying to access a shared folder. I will attach the VBox.log as well.

Well, I was hoping to add the VBox.log file but when I try to "Attach File" I get an error: 

TICKET_APPEND privileges are required to perform this operation

Hopefully the few lines above from the log that appear exactly when the corruption happens is enough. If not, please either fix the TICKET_APPEND problem or request the log from me by e-mail.

Try attaching the file again now. No idea why this didn't work in the first place.

I have the same problem, thought it was fixed with this version but it seems not. I get the same thing when accessing SAMBA shares on my host machine: after a random (but normally short) interval, the display goes corrupt and mostly black. Sometimes there's a blue screen after that but mostly the machine is well frozen and I have to "ACPI off".

If I get the blue screen again I'll post the info it contains.

Yeah, other than I've never seen a BSOD from this problem, it sounds very familiar. It's interesting that it appears to be some kind of networking problem rather than shared folders or something.

If I get the blue screen again I'll post the info it contains.

Cool.

I see this too on VirtualBox 1.6.4 running Windows XP SP3.

To repro: Attempt to view My Network Places or navigate to a share directly in Windows Explorer by typing \\<host>\<server> or \\vboxsvr\<share> into the address bar.

I get the same display corruption and have to ACPI shut down my guest.

Yup, that is exactly my situation too. I wonder what we all have in common that others don't share.

Which host OS do you use?

If you use Windows, could you try to reproduce the problem with a debugger attached to the guest? If yes, I'll provide detailed instructions. Thanks.

My host OS is Mac 10.5.4. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help debug this.

I uninstalled my Guest Additions, rebooted, reinstalled Guest Additions, rebooted, and now I have a different symptom, which I believe has been reported separately -- normal SMB networking works, but I cannot access \\vboxsvr\<share>.

Ok this is back after a series of steps detailed in defect 1680 (http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1680), basically, trying to get Shared Folders working using manually merged registry entries attached to that defect ticket.
