VirtualBox Freezing
Posted: 14. Jun 2012, 09:45
I have an odd problem runnign VirtualBox
I had been using it successfully for several weeks running Windows7 64 bti VM on Ubuntu 11.10 Host
I then upgraded Host OS to Ubuntu 12.04 and broke VirtualBox I think due to kernel mismatch
My solution was to renistall the 12.04 (precise) .deb package from the virtualbox download site
This worked *during* the current session, i.e. while I was logged in to Ubuntu
However, closing down the machine then restarting ubuntu and then starting virtualbox was causing my machine to freeze completely
I then deleted the Windows VM uninstalled VirtualBox and reinstalled VirtualBox via the ubuntu software manager
I then reinstalled the Windows VM
Again, all worked fine *during* that session, but now, after closing down and rebooting, virtualbox freezes the machine every time
Has anyone experienced any similiar problems to this?
