VBOX_E_OBJECT_IN_USE (0X80BB000C)

Post by ProfMac »

A host vbox is marked inaccessible. All information regarding snapshots is not visible in Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager.
No opportunity exists to remove snapshots, or change any part of the vbox description.
i.e., the Snapshots and Details buttons are greyed out.

Error information is available, and gives the error that has been the subject of many threads, many of which I have read.
I did hand edit the vbox file and removed the offending middle line containing the uuid

The remove button is greyed out on the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso optical disk.

This seems to be an ongoing concern of users. It never occurred to me that taking a live snapshot with the CD image inserted would be a problem. If the interface is going to lock me out of an activity, I would like it to prevent me from entering an illegal state, and not prevent me from returning from a state that seemed, and still seems, perfectly reasonable.

I can think of a few additional options to try, such as removing all DVD descriptions from the .vbox file, but I'd like to hear from others first.

Code: Select all

      <DVDImages>
       <Image uuid="{855d7e2f-1d56-437f-88d8-d0d80eacc3cc}" location="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"/>
      </DVDImages>

Code: Select all

Cannot attach medium '/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso'
{855d7e2f-1d56-437f-88d8-d0d80eacc3cc}: medium is already associated with the current state of machine uuid {64a547d1-8a59-4735-ab15-08d707aac016}!.

Result Code:    VBOX_E_OBJECT_IN_USE (0X80BB000C).
cOMPONENT:   MediumWrap
Interface:       iMedium {4af3423b-43e0-e9d0-82e8-ceb307940dda}

history
A vbox guest with Ubuntu 16.04 ran fine on host 14.04 running virtualbox 5.1.22
After updating the guest to 18.04, copy clipboard failed to work.
Reading suggested that I had to update the host.
I upgraded the host to 16.04, and to virtualbox 5.2.12 r122591

I dropped my lvs snapshot volume when the OS upgrade was successful, before I opened virtualbox :-(

Moving to "Suggestions" from "Linux Hosts".
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
