I am running a VirtualBox with android-x86 (as a replacement for the ultra-slow AVD emulator). Its a Linux VirtualBox running android 4.0, on a Windows 7 Host. The machine boots up and everything works fine, but if i leave the machine idle for less than 5 min, i can't perform any action - all the menus,buttons,etc are unresponsive although the android clock is changing, and i can go to command (alt + F1) and back to gui (alt + F7). Has anyone came across this phenomenon or has an idea what goes wrong here?
It is pretty simple. Just hold ESC + MENU (A key between right-alt and right-ctrl) and the machine will wake up.
If you're encountering freezing, this is one of the first things to try turning off. In the menu on the left in VirtualBox, right-click on the Ubuntu virtual machine you're having problems with, then select Settings. Here, click the Display tab and make sure that “Enable 3D Acceleration” is not selected.
I was able to get back to the screen by clicking ACPI shutdown menu(HOST + H)
