Ubuntu 20.04 VM goes into Emergency Mode

Post by SimplySkud »

Hello All,

I need a help with an issue with my Virtualbox Ubuntu 20.04 VM that I have been using for quite some time now. I have 2 drives on my laptop and all my virtualbox VMs files (.vbox, .vdi , etc) for this Ubuntu VM are all stored on the D drive. Couple of hours back something happened to my laptop and the D drive was temporarily inaccessible.

After restart of the laptop. the D drive is again accessible but whenever I try to log into the Virtualbox VM, it goes into the emergency mode (screenshot attached). The log file is attached as well.

Please advise on how I can get past this issue.

Thanks in advance for all help on this issue. Much appreciated.

Nothing is wrong in the posted log. The Virtualbox environment continues to run.

You ready for the fix? This is going to be a bumpy ride! Here it comes...

Press Enter for Maintenance, or press Ctrl-D to continue.

:lol:

Pardon my sense of humor, but seriously, though, the problem lies inside the VM's OS, not in the Virtualbox environment. You'll need to troubleshoot this inside the VM's OS as if it were a real PC and Virtualbox were not involved.
