Когда я недавно перешел на karmic, я начал видеть следующие вещи в журналах при запуске VirtualBox:

Через некоторое время журналы увеличиваются до больших размеров и заполняют весь мой раздел /var. В VirtualBox есть возможность выбора между pulseaudio и alsa для звука, но, похоже, это не дает никакого эффекта. Я использую пакеты virtualbox-3.0, а не версию ose. Моя система обновлена.
