virtualbox.org

So I am on Ubuntu Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS my specs are amd r7 1700 16 gb ram and a 1050ti. All my drivers are installed and I am using the Nvidia driver 390 (tested by ubuntu to work). So I launch the system all is good until I start clicking and then it turns black and I see the virtual box screen shot then it reloads into the installer (no pop up box or anything). if you need anything or have any advice please tell or ask me. Thank you

We're going to need to see a VM log from a complete VM run:

• Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
• With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
• Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Here you go sorry I didn't add the log before. Thank you for your speed reply.

00:00:00.448990 File system of '/media/mockedarche/Seagate Expansion Drive/Vms/Windows 10.vdi' is fuse

That's pretty much the only wrong thing that I could find in your log. What's that drive? Seems like an external one, but I'm asking about the format, because I see it as 'fuse' which doesn't reveal too much. Is that a FAT32 formatted drive?

00:01:32.668467 GUI: Request for close-action to power VM off.

That's a request for a normal shutdown. Could you describe a little bit more in detail what's going on?

THe external HDD is I guess file system fuse (thats what it says) I am gonna move all the important stuff to another drive and then format it. I first used it and formatted it on windows 10 maybe it did something that linux doesn't like. The best way for me to explain it is now it doesnt even open but I believe that's because whenever I would move around my mouse and sometimes when I would click the installer would reset. Everything is fine then the screen goes black I see a virtual box screen shot (like when it first starts) and then the windows 10 iso acts as if it was just launched and it starts up. Thank you again for your help

Heres a recent log after deleting that vm and formatting my HDD

00:00:10.843652 File system of '/media/mockedarche/Segate/Vms/windows 10.vdi' is ext4

You're still installing on the external hard drive. It wasn't so much a question of the 'fuse' filesystem (FAT32, exFAT or NTFS), as much as about the external drive itself. Even a USB3 drive is not fast enough, and I'm worrying that this might be introducing timeouts/delays which might make the installer to fail. I'm not sure about that, I just wanted to take that parameter out of the equation.

00:00:11.576218 GUI: 2D video acceleration is disabled

And so is the 3D acceleration. Shutdown the VM and enable them in the VM settings » Display. You'll also notice that the max VRAM will jump from 128 to 256 MB after that; max the VRAM as well.

Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with the setup. I highly doubt that these two are going to make a difference though.
