GuruMeditation problems

Post by Greg_Be »

I am running Vbox 6.21 and using it for BOINC LHC ATLAS project.
No matter what I do I get GuruMeditation errors.
Fresh installs, app_config file, always the same thing.
GuruMeditation

6.18 used to work as well, but that also seems to cause GuruMeditation

I am also finding that at least with 6.21 it cause BSOD on my system at startup.
To write this post I had to uninstall it.

What is going on? Didn't used to have this problem.
Should I be using a older version of Vbox?

Here is a sample of the most recent error
VM is no longer is a running state. It is in 'GuruMeditation'.
2021-05-21 01:51:14 (41728): VM state change detected. (old = 'Running', new = 'GuruMeditation')
2021-05-21 01:51:14 (41728): Powering off VM.
2021-05-21 01:51:14 (41728): Deregistering VM. (boinc_b738c9a0e07c2bd2, slot#9)

Looks like you looked into the vbox.log. We will have to as well to help.

FWIW there is no version 6.21 or 6.18.

Start the VM from full power off, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log and the next tab over (the hardening log), zip both files, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Sorry I meant 6.1.22 and 6.1.18
The info you saw came from an output file. You will have to wait another 24hrs or message me if you want the link since I am to new to post web links at this time.
All GURU problems say the same thing.

I will try what you said and see what happens.

Following the instructions provided does not require a link for the zipped log, and forum gurus won't go to 3rd-party sites for logs. Please follow the posted instructions.

As soon as I get a new task I will see what it does. LHC is my only Vbox app.
I run many others that do not require Vbox.
