swap file creator error

Decidable3 · January 28, 2025, 5:50pm

Hello. I have been having this problem for a long time. I used to use virtualbox 7.0.2, now I switched to the latest version of vbox 7.1.4 but this problem remains.

Guest addons are installed from debian standard repository, version 7.0.12_Debianr159484.
All system packages are up to date.
Guest add-ons functions work (copying to clipboard).

How to fix this problem?

How can this be fixed?

Likely fixed in source code / git / developers repository.

Will be included in the next release.
