virtualbox.org

Hi everyone,
I am very not a Linux expert, I tried to found an answer to my question in the previous post, I apologize If this was already treated.
I am working on a project which require linux in order to run a program called openquake. I downloaded the package for the VB
on their plateform.
I have Ubuntu (64-bit) on a macOS Sierra (10.12.5).

This morning my computer crashed. And I couldn't close the VirtualBox properly. Since that moment I've got (after loading) the message : To be honnest I have no idea what to do and I have really important file on the machin that I really need to get back (That will teach me to do backups..)
Any idea are really welcomed !

Cheers !

Your guest boots, which seems to indicate a corrupted file not on the host (the VDI) but something going wrong in the guest. Actually the error message tells you what to do; run 'fsck' manually. Other than that, you should be searching in the Linux forums for help for the moment.

Just because a program that runs in the context of VirtualBox has a problem, it doesn't make it a VirtualBox problem. You're having an issue that most probably has nothing to do with VirtualBox, so my suggestion would be to treat it as such, as a native problem with the OS or the application of the guest.

"OS X Hosts" doesn't seem like the obvious place to ask for advice on Linux. Moving this topic to "Linux Guests".

Thanks socratis for your answer,
sorry for the image size, probably should have clicked preview before posting.
I actually already tried to run it manually and looked a bit around on the internet, I used : but I am just getting message that this doesn't exist. When looking for an answer, people were talking about rebootig with cds, so I though it might have something to do with the virtualbox itself, but if not, I will continue searching !

Thanks again for really quick reply and have a nice sunday

Code: Select all

fsck/dev/sda1

That's the wrong syntax. You're supposed to put a "space" between the 'fsck' command and its argument '/dev/sda1'. As in: But this as I said, it's a Linux problem at the moment.

It most definitely should

OMG, that was the stupid space... I am so relived, thanks so much. Now I will back up everything !
