Virtualbox debugging -- g: error: The VM is already running

[Adam_Ullrich56]

I'm trying to debug an operating system that I am developing.

When I start up the VM machine with

Code: Select all

VirtualBoxVM --startvm "X" --debug

the VM starts paused, but when I execute the 'g' command to continue execution I get this error:

Code: Select all

g: error: The VM is already running

But when I start my virtual machine without `--debug` , everything works fine, but I can't debug.
Why does that error message appear?
The VM starts stopped, so the message doesn't make sense and it doesn't allow me to debug my OS.

From the viewpoint of the debugger, the VM is running. From the viewpoint of the VM, it is paused. In the debugger window, you can use the stop command to stop execution, and the help command to get a list of debugger commands.
