Sharing Guest between dual booted Hosts
Posted: 30. Aug 2021, 02:04
Hi all,
Either I'm really bad at searching around or there actually isn't much information on the topic.
And apologies if this is in the wrong forum, all the others were unique to one particular OS, so I thought it best to put it here.
I have two host OS's on the same computer (dual booted through GRUB).
1. Windows 10 Pro 64bit (Host) with VirtualBox 6.1.26 r145957
2. Kubuntu 20.10 64bit (Host) with VirtualBox 6.1.22_Ubuntu r144080
I created and have been running a guest OS (also Windows) on the Windows system:
1. Windows 10 Pro 64bit (Guest)
Today, I've attempted to load the virtual machine on the linux host and I get the following error with no log files produced:
Now, here's the interesting thing (or at least interesting to me).
The VM always starts in windows without an issue.
I only get the above error on Linux.
To fix it, I have to load Windows, start and shutdown the VM, load back into Linux and it starts working again.
Why? Any ideas how this be fixed/avoided?
