["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

matteo sisti sette, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Sudden hard reset (reboot) caused by VirtualBox

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Starting from today, whenever I (try to) start a virtual machine in
  VirtualBox, the host system suddenly reboots without warning, without
  even shutting down.

  There's certainly some bug in VirtualBox, but if a program, no matter
  how buggy or even malicious, can cause the whole operating system to
  reboot suddenly, there's by definition some very serious bug in the
  operating system itself.

  WORKAROUND: Disabling 3D _and_ 2D acceleration in the virtual machine
  fixed the issue.
