[Solved] Hidden Menu on VirtualBox Manager

Post by mjgm97 »

Hi,
I'm using VirtualBox 6.0.4 on Mac. I've hidden my "virtual machines" menu, and now I don't know how to select or re-add a virtual machine as I get the next error: Ubuntu 16.04 Server Redes/Ubuntu 16.04 Server Redes.vbox' which has the same UUID as an existing virtual machine.
How can I select now a Virtual machine or show again the normal menu?

Thank you.

Locate, ZIP and post the file: "/Users/<you>/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml".

<ExtraDataItem name="GUI/SplitterSizes" value="0,741"/>
Close VirtualBox, make sure that no VBox* or VirtualBox* processes are running. Open up a Terminal and enter the command:
  • 
    VBoxManage setextradata global "GUI/SplitterSizes"
Re-open VirtualBox.

Or grab the horizontal splitter bar currently stuck all the way to the left and drag it.
