Ubuntu 16.04 and virtualBox 6.0.4 losing state
Posted: 6. Jun 2019, 12:07
I have upgraded my virtualbox from v5.1.22 to v6.0.4 and I am using Ubuntu16.04 guest.
I have also installed the virtal box extension pack for v6.0.4
Since I've upgraded I have noticed that changes I make within my ubuntu environment are not always guaranteed to be retained if I "power off" virtualbox and then relaunch it.
The latest manifestation occurred this morning.
I am using git as a source repository.
- Last night I created a local branch within ubuntu16.04.
- I then pushed this branch up to the remote repository
- I checked the remote repository to ensure that was done successfully
- I then "powered off" virtual box
- This morning i launched ubuntu16.04 to continue working in my local branch
- made changes and was ready to push but got this message "Your branch is based on 'origin/card-32851', but the upstream is gone."
I have checked the remote git repository and my branch is still there.
I can only assume that whatever was held locally within my Ubuntu guest to maintain the link to the remote branch in git has been lost.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
Is there a fix available?
