VirtualBox 4.2 crashes on Restart after Ubuntu install
Re: VirtualBox 4.2 crashes on Restart after Ubuntu install
When the prompt for restart appears, then select machine (main menu) -> reset. And then it works - for you too I hope.

That's a hard reset, it's not a proper reboot. Please add your experience to the bug report: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11004NielsM wrote:When the prompt for restart appears, then select machine (main menu) -> reset. And then it works - for you too I hope.

I can't attach it because I work on systems with highly sensitive data.

I saw a post from a user (petedunton) that worked perfectly for me.

Hi,
This seems to be a standard problem at the moment, there are lots of discussion threads listing the same effect for multiple guest OSs.
To confirm:
- you run the install correctly from a disk image file
- you are prompted to restart the OS to complete the install
- Virtualbox crashes and closes the VM
Solution is to dismount the disk image before you restart the OS. A way of doing this is:
- at the restart prompt stage take a snapshot of the current state of the VM. This allows you to return to this stage of the install process directly.
- close the VM
- remove the disk image from the Storage -> Controller: IDE section of the VM's settings.
- restore the VM from the snapshot and then click restart
Essentially you need to eject the installation CD before restarting the OS.
Hope that works

This (what petedunton said) worked perfectly for me. I need to add do not save the session when you want to close the VM to be able to remove the disk image.
thanks a lot
