VMs not detected as running?
Posted: 2. Nov 2020, 16:37
I got my VMs running, decided to call it for the weekend, woke up the computer today (opensuse), and the manager gui, for some reason it showed my VMs were powered off, but they obviously were not, as I can select them and type away.
Opened my terminal and ran:
Note that the result of "runningvms" is empty.
Ran my ps command again after enlarging the window area and can see that the same VM ids are actually running.
I'm running opensuse 15.2, and keeping patches up to date. Virtualbox is Version 6.1.14_SUSE r140239. My guests are CentOS8, but for this issue, don't think it matters.
Opened my terminal and ran:
Code: Select all
(kshaffer-desk)~ $ VBoxManage list vms
"Kens 2nd Home Windows 10" {9cfde872-dc00-474a-a436-8547537ed241}
"rhhost1" {4d0ad7db-a91e-4d9f-9262-0e72e56203cc}
"rhhost2" {80a6b1d1-8356-4b88-9323-1bacb37f577b}
(kshaffer-desk)~ $ VBoxManage list runningvms
(kshaffer-desk)~ $
Ran my ps command again after enlarging the window area and can see that the same VM ids are actually running.
Code: Select all
(kshaffer-desk)~ $ r ps
ps -ef|egrep "vbox|virt"
