VMBOX 7.0.6 running on Win 10 pro
Everything seems to work except the terminal. When one clicks on the terminal the "terminal" appears on top of the screen - as expected - but does not open a terminal window and the "terminal" disappears from the top of the screen.
Please help!

Re: Vmbob version 7.0.6
Virtualbox doesn't have a 'terminal'. It has commands one can type into the Windows host OS's Command Prompt, but no specific Virtualbox-provided 'terminal'.Bonzadog wrote:Everything seems to work except the terminal.
Can you elaborate, please?
Re: Virtualbox version 7.0.6 'terminal' not working
You are correct I should have been more careful in my reply. I installed the latest vmbox 7.0.6 under Win 10 pro and then installed ubuntu 22.04.1 . After starting ubuntu , I can click on ie firefox etc and it works. but when I start ubuntu's Terminal, the word Termin appears briefly then gets cleared and no terminal box is displayed.
I wonder what it is I have done wrong??

Re: Virtualbox version 7.0.6 'terminal' not working
OK, that is more clear.
Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.
Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)
