APIC vs. ACPI
In Performance Problems > Microsoft Windows Guest: I'm not sure if this is a mistake or Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller is really meant to be APIC. In any way, this should be cleared up to avoid users getting confused over this looking like a mistake. Smartass (talk) 15:27, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

headless or Qt... why not both ?
I'm amazed, I wish to have the option to start a virt machine in headless mode ( using Shift + Start, or in regular mode using Start) from the VirtualBox GUI.. It is fully possible using the binary package (under windows binaries at least) but if I add headless in package use flag of virtualbox then the flag excludes qt from the build phase.

Am I missing something here ?

Another common problem?
After an update, virtualbox failed to start my virtual machines, complaining about a mismatch of the drivers and suggesting that it is due to a failed installation. modinfo showed the up-to-date version. Nevertheless, reloading the modules with rmmod and modprove helped. If others run into that, please promote it to the main wiki page. --Aharel (talk) 13:05, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
