I have since upgraded to 15.1 and I did have one random freeze shortly after upgrading (when I had not been running a VM) but have had zero issues with freezes over the last three weeks or so until about 30 minutes ago when I fired up that windows VM again…and experienced a system freeze/crash about 5 minutes after shutting down the VM (which I have since switched to using the virtio driver instead of QXL). I’d been messing with a CentOS installation in a VM for about a week and have had no problems. About the only thing that seems to be consistent with these crashes is running a windows guest. Has no one else run into this problem running a windows VM? I can’t seem to be able to run one without crashing my entire system (I even had the same problem using virtualbox). I also did a fresh install of 15.1 and it made no difference…and I tried using the tumbleweed kernel, same problem. I have two hard drives on this laptop as well, a HDD and SSD. I’ve tried moving the virtual disk file from one drive to another thinking it might be some read/write issue…nope, same problem with either drive. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem?
I’m tempted to install another distro and see if I can run a windows VM in it without crashing, but I’d really rather not go through the hassle.
