Hi Andreas, after discussion with upstream, I'm pretty sure this isn't a bug. - - background info: installing or removing an extension pack uses commands which start VBoxSVC (which drags in VBoxXPCOMIPCD). those processes will terminate themselves after about 5 seconds (if in the mean time there is no other vbox API activity) - - VBoxSVC and VBoxXPCOMIPCD aren't system services, they have nothing to do with init scripts of any flavor. - - they're normal user processes, started on demand by any vbox api clien t - - like vboxmanage, which I bet is used in the virtualbox-ext-pack install scripts - - the processes only "happen to run as root", because the package install is done as root (and extpack install actually needs root privs to put files in the right place) - - I'd say this is a semi-bogus report. yes, there is something "left behind", but it will not be for long. - - the install scripts could wait a bit over 5 seconds after uninstalling the extpack... I assume that this would "fix" the problem - - LocutusOfBorg: really a strange corner case :) So I think we can add a sleep or something else, but I checked and in fact in more or less 5 seconds the processes exits automatically. I would like to close this issue, since the end user won't even notice this problem. cheers, Gianfranco -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWlSTzAAoJEPNPCXROn13ZsjgP/i7dL4WKiEL2JISsRBahkkxy Q28+JJe5wBrxExWYdkWFy2VFagJJja1OjbR9/dmS7/tgEW8RVJiNcgtYLM3GRd7C 0xUajexhg687csoWyhgkujqNO5C6WD2eeWwUDeSUKVOj6ZK9a/6MHPA2PD3cgj32 FE/hI3s+Vfu/ZuhNsNGEm431mYw0Ipj3sR2LKZKdkT50e9azDr7AJ0bc/15lIe14 C19/XB8qyvea7nX9e5zqv3+KDnnOQM3AgucxOsdTgpZAzskBYVaT2/e39lFgHvKR hXyl8HKcpBrncNNPJJSJZCre+aVy9/lLcpu4USNTpmoGVvjau2qgtNj+YaqaEe/a rH7TQa0ZMmEwSekvQVGfELa+xcGZB27kLde5wOGLayKwpk0uen1S4YNwHAsVhIcG gAUPQP+GoA/qql0iOWiTdtgVq1qYyoPMwrsU5vXUa2wVu9dOFo6e4sWtEe5XWlqw MxzzEEJKm4lNS86XXDPldv/3lyINJSwcR0Q2LIrk7zVYg4K3TujCNPBO0LtGV1f9 1jzPzjKqoGAor5Cx0xtlpJ0g3/WrjW/0Cr0DBWg50VNl8eO+WqTznb7ENJ+BSKsM xncDNaiu+TGW78oSUaANQeSq3MNDmplw1Poq+B4QY75IpVqMut6TE9dxEvmHBpFf w9X9QW34V9Qv2Vkyo9BW =tRil -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
