Stuck in "Creating process for virtual machene ..."

[piglovesyou]

Hi.
I've posted on Mac OS category though I have a situation very similar to
/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=45329#p273182 of Falstaff1141.

First I did sudden shutdown or something and after that no guest correctly launches. It always says:

Creating process for virtual machene "xxx" (GUI/Qt) ... (1/2)

At the time of a stuck, there is no log in $HOME/VirtualBox\ VMs/xxx. (There are only 3: xxx.vbox, xxx.vbox-prev, xxx.vdi)
At the time of a stuck and when I try to type in a terminal:

$ /bin/ps aux | egrep "VirtualBox|VBox"
piglovesyou 3276 1.1 0.3 2704912 57280 ?? S 9:42AM 0:07.60 /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtualBox

piglovesyou 3287 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? Z 9:43AM 0:00.00 (VirtualBoxVM)

Then I try to re-install VirtualBox but no progess.
Then I try to remove whole $HOME/VirtualBox\ VMs directory but no progress.
Then I try to uninstall and remove whole $HOME/VirtualBox\ VMs and $HOME/Library/VirtualBox and install again but no progress.
Offcourse I tried several reboot of my OSX.

Once it goes all well.
I doubt there is another file left in my Mac which remains some application's state or something.
I really appreciate your help.

All right, I resolved. Removing several directory/file and rebooting were needed.

# I'm not sure which file was related to the issue exactly.
# Be sure to have a backup when you try this.

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/
rm -rf ~/Library/VirtualBox
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/org.virtualbox.app.VirtualBox*
rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.virtualbox.app.VirtualBox*
rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.virtualbox.app.VirtualBox*
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/org.virtualbox.app.VirtualBox*
