Virtualbox crashes

Post by domi »

Hey,

I have a general question on what I can do to find out why a VM crashes. The VM is not accessible via SSH or the started web services on the browser. But the VM is still running. So I have to stop and start the VM again. Are there any log files I can read? Sometimes the VM is running for one day sometimes for multiple days before the VM is not responsible.

Thanks in advance!

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, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
