I'm running a HOST Ubuntu 14.04, which uses VBOX 4.3.40 to run a GUEST 12.04. Yes, all super outdated but required for my project and upgrading anything broke the legacy software I'm using it for. I don't like it either.
My set up appeared to work properly for the last years. But, recently, I have been trying to do a few things (increase cpu, increase memory, export, clonehd, clonevm and delete snapshots), which all failed with (seemingly) different errors. I'm assuming something is very wrong, but I don't know where/how to look for this.
I'm not sure what all could be useful for debugging, so I've added my entire `showvminfo` output here. https://pastebin.com/qcTW3Gum [ModEdit: Inlined "showvminfo", no need for a 3rd party link"]

First off: increasing the cpu and increasing the memory don't return any error, but don't appear to do anything. But let's just assume I'm not looking correctly or whatever.
When I try to delete a snapshot (the very first one, in fact) I get the following error. It get's to 90% very fast and then stalls for a while before returning the error.

I honestly have no clue what's going on. I'm not very good with computers anyway, and I don't really understand what I'm doing. I'm assuming I messed up something along the way which is now leading to all these issues. Please send help.
