Hi everybody,
I am running VB on a headless Ubuntu Server 12.04. I installed different guests (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and all kind of Linux) and all were working perfect. Out of the blue when the guest starts it aborts on an early stage. So I was trying to find the problem and as soon as I deactivated the USB, everthing is working fine and the guest starts like always. Does anybody have any idea, why USB is causing trouble all of the sudden?
Thanks for some help
Tom

Re: USB Problem
Minimum information needed for assistance. The most helpful part would be to attach two zipped logs 1) USB enabled and the guest failing and 2) USB disabled and the guest working. Please include the logs from a complete session, i.e. boot and shutdown the guest completely.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Re: USB Problem
vbox.log is always the most recent. vbox1.log the previous log, etc. so if you launch your guest with USB enabled then shutdown your guest, then start the guest with USB disabled and shutdown. the logs you want to post are vbox.log & vbox1.log.TomNick wrote:Ok, but which one, I got vbox.log, vbox1.log, vbox2.log, vbox3.log?The most helpful part would be to attach two zipped logs 1) USB enabled and the guest failing and 2) USB disabled and the guest working.

There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

Re: USB Problem
USB requires the extension pack, and the extension pack version needs to match the VBox version.VBox.log wrote: VirtualBox VM 4.3.18 r96516 linux.x86 (Oct 10 2014 20:01:40) release log

Re: USB Problem

Re: USB Problem
Testing or not VirtualBox was not meant to run as root. It throws all normal diagnostics out the window.
