windows 8.1 sometimes freezes/resets, where to upload log
windows 8.1 sometimes freezes/resets, where to upload log
sometimes my windows 8.1 freezes or resets and it tells me that i should look in the logs
how can i send this data to the virtualbox team so they can keep it in their records and see if they can fix it or look in it, so they can improve virtualbox from crashes information
i want to help them whenever sometimes bad happens to my virtualbox, this in the end will help and improve virtualbox,
but i don't know how i can do my part,
is there somewhere i can send this data to? it happens often on my windows 8.1 guest., not sure why
i am using a linux host and vb 6.0.10

Re: windows 8.1 sometimes freezes/resets, where to upload log
Right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window and click Show Log. Save Vbox.log, and if the error message mentions a hardening problem, save the Vboxhardening.log too. Put these files in a zip container (zip, rar, etc) and use the forum's Upload Attachment tab to post the zip container.

Re: windows 8.1 sometimes freezes/resets, where to upload log
According to the manual, VMSVGA is for Linux guests, and VboxSVGA is for Windows guests. Try switching.00:00:03.168621 VMSVGA3dEnabled <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1)
00:00:03.168622 VMSVGAEnabled <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1)
You have the entire host CPU in the guest. Reduce guest cores to 2.00:00:03.168179 NumCPUs <integer> = 0x0000000000000006 (6)
..........
00:00:03.415000 CPUM: Physical host cores: 6
Re: windows 8.1 sometimes freezes/resets, where to upload log
i changed it to VBoxSVGA and i changed it to 4 cores
but it's been 2 hours and the vm crashed by itself
here is the new log

Re: windows 8.1 sometimes freezes/resets, where to upload log
Nah, you didn't... Because it was always set to VBoxSVGA.vm_guy wrote:i changed it to VBoxSVGA
The strings that 'scottgus1' quoted as evidence for the VMSVGA choice, are part of the "new" vGPUs. For those that are reading the logs, the following lines show up in the "[/Devices/vga/0/Config/]" section (minus the timestamp):
So, only if you see the "VMSVGAPciId" the VM is using the VMSVGA. If not, then the VBoxSVGA is in use. If you see none of the above lines, then the older VBoxVGA is used. Yes, it is confusing.VMSVGA3dEnabled <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1) <-- VMSVGA and VBoxSVGA VMSVGAEnabled <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1) <-- VMSVGA and VBoxSVGA VMSVGAPciId <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1) <-- VMSVGA only
Any particular need for 2 monitors? Can you lower it to 1, from the VM Settings » Display » Screen » Monitor Count.00:00:02.572659 MonitorCount <integer> = 0x0000000000000002 (2)
Do you actually have 7 (SEVEN) monitors?00:00:02.635398 GUI: UIDesktopWidgetWatchdog::sltHandleHostScreenAvailableGeometryCalculated: Screen 1 work area is actually resized to: 5285x1056 x 1680x1017 00:00:02.644472 GUI: UIDesktopWidgetWatchdog::sltHandleHostScreenAvailableGeometryCalculated: Screen 2 work area is actually resized to: 1920x1056 x 1680x1017 00:00:02.656166 GUI: UIDesktopWidgetWatchdog::sltHandleHostScreenAvailableGeometryCalculated: Screen 3 work area is actually resized to: 0x6 x 1920x1047 00:00:02.671752 GUI: UIDesktopWidgetWatchdog::sltHandleHostScreenAvailableGeometryCalculated: Screen 4 work area is actually resized to: 6960x6 x 1680x1050 00:00:02.677326 GUI: UIDesktopWidgetWatchdog::sltHandleHostScreenAvailableGeometryCalculated: Screen 5 work area is actually resized to: 3600x0 x 1680x1050 00:00:02.682145 GUI: UIDesktopWidgetWatchdog::sltHandleHostScreenAvailableGeometryCalculated: Screen 6 work area is actually resized to: 1920x6 x 1680x1050 00:00:02.686760 GUI: UIDesktopWidgetWatchdog::sltHandleHostScreenAvailableGeometryCalculated: Screen 7 work area is actually resized to: 5280x6 x 1680x1050

Re: windows 8.1 sometimes freezes/resets, where to upload log
Sho' nuff! I just compared some of my guests. That is confusing. But I see the pattern. Thanks!socratis wrote:only if you see the "VMSVGAPciId" the VM is using the VMSVGA. If not, then the VBoxSVGA is in use. If you see none of the above lines, then the older VBoxVGA is used. Yes, it is confusing.
Now want to talk about something confusing? Let's go into that hardening log...
Re: windows 8.1 sometimes freezes/resets, where to upload log
where exactly is the hardening.log
I looked inside the vm's win10 folder but there is no hardening log
is it inside the installatiom folder of virtualbox? I am using a Linux host

And that's exactly why you don't have a VBoxHardening.log, it's a Windows hosts only concept.vm_guy wrote: I am using a Linux host

Re: windows 8.1 sometimes freezes/resets, where to upload log
Sorry, that reference to the hardening log was to Socratis.
FWIW the second log you posted above for the 2-hour run then crash, is only 26 seconds long. Did you restart the guest after the crash? If so, after a crash, please zip and post both the Vbox.log and the Vbox.log.1.
