The only option I have to recover is to logout and log back in. When it bombs out, I get the "Oh no, somthing happened!" screen and there really aren't any other options.
I do wish it was more graceful in that recovery.
Thanks for the more detailed description. I definitely can't afford to toy with behavior like that outside a test VM or spare box right now. 8<---- snipped ----
I've thought about changing from using VirtualBox's GUI to launching the VMs in the background and using a remote desktop. I know that can be done (because I played with that a little bit when I started built my first VBox VM - an 11.4 VM to run Pan in because it doesn't run properly on G3 yet).
I hadn't considered just running the VM automatically, though. The laptop certainly has the horsepower to do that.
It adds a small but noticeable delay to my shutdowns and time-to-desktop here (2 GHz dual core) but it's pretty negligible.
One of the things I use the WinXP VM for is watching Netflix streaming, though, and I'm not sure that would work well with an RDP solution. But running Framemaker? Yeah, that'd work. :)
That would be an interesting experiment. Too bad my VMs are 'headless' by design or I'd try it. Thanks again for humoring my curiosity ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
