Problem with virtualbox-guest-* upgrade

Hi,

a few days ago virtualbox guest additions were repackaged and upgraded:

* virtualbox-guest-additions-4.0.10-2 -> virtualbox-archlinux-additions-4.1.0-2
* virtualbox-guest-modules-4.0.10-2 -> virtualbox-archlinux-modules-4.1.0-2

I'm experiencing a critical issue with the newest 4.1.0 version. When I kill my X session I no longer see the terminal afterwards.

If I downgrade back to the virtualbox-guest-*-4.0.10-2 packages the issue disappears.

This happens when running Arch inside VirtualBox 4.0.10 or 4.1.0 on a Mac OS X 10.6 guest. I ignore whether this is an upstream issue, but nobody is complaining in VirtualBox forums.

Anyone is using a similar setup and experiencing the same issue / no issues?

Thanks.

Re: Problem with virtualbox-guest-* upgrade

I use it on a Windows host at work. No issues with the 4.1.0 for me so far. Provide more details as to what is happening. Errors, logs etc. so we can see what the problem might be.

Re: Problem with virtualbox-guest-* upgrade

Sorry for the late reply. Apparently the issue has disappeared with virtualbox-guest-* version 4.1.2-1.

Thanks anyway.
