Virtualbow | Linuxmint sarah

Post by jmvgt »

Hi Everybody,
Since I've installed the new Mint distrib (Sarah kernel=4.4.0-21-generic #37 )
My Windows7 virtual machine crashes and diseppear on a regular basis.
Of course, the current works into the virtual machine is lost.

How can I fix it ?

Thanks

  1. Start the VM. Not from a saved or suspended state. Clean start.
  2. Take the steps required to generate/observe the error. I guess you just ... wait for the VM to abort.
  3. Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show Log..."
  4. Save it (just the first log), ZIP it and attach it in your response (see the "Upload attachment" at the bottom of the form).
Also, have a look at the latest test builds (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds). They have fixed a lot of those "random aborts".
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
