thanks

I forgot to push links for the DebOMatic ongoing builds:
http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#experimental/virtualbox/5.0.0~beta4-dfsg-1/buildlog
http://debomatic-i386.debian.net/distribution#experimental/virtualbox/5.0.0~beta4-dfsg-1/buildlog

I would appreciate testing/feedbacks about the upcoming 5.0.0, since it contains *many* 3d crash fixes
and some code rewrites...

cheers,

Gianfranco

Hi Ritesh, nope, this is actually a dupe of 763610 and launchpad 1307093.

It is tracked as upstream issue 11938, can you please test virtualbox from unstable or the upcoming 5.0.0beta4 from DebOMatic (I uploaded it a few seconds ago)

We believe this is related to 785689, which is pending an upload in the
coming week.

I'll try to see if we can push this sooner, to make it into the Jessie+1
point release, but I can't guarantee that.
