Linux box disconnect when clicking on settings button on VIRTUALBOX ( another story )

This case is different from https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/virtualization/487065-linux-box-disconnect-when-clicking-settings-button-virtualbox.html

On another notebook, same os.

portable-hp:~ # uname -a
Linux portable-hp.site 3.7.10-1.11-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 16 20:27:27 UTC 2013 (adf31bb) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
portable-hp:~ # 

portable-hp:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64)
VERSION = 12.3
CODENAME = Dartmouth
portable-hp:~ # 

Finally as virtualbox was useless :

  • Have remove every things about virtualbox and the virtual machine.
  • Have reinstall a previous version ( 4.2.6 )
  • Have created a new virtual machine ( Win Xp )

When I click on any options ( general, system, display…) in the virtualbox window, the session close and restart.

Seems to be a graphical problem.

Are you perhaps using an Nvidia graphic card? I noted this behavior on my PC where I’m using Nvidia proprietary drivers. A reinstallation resolved the issue.

I had the same issue. Reinstalling the Nvidia driver corrected the issue for me.

OK I will try this and give news asap

Thank you for taking time to help me

Yes that also help me.
