Virtual Box Guru Meditation Critical Error

Post by WSS User »

One of my co-workers called about an error in the VBox client side. I remoted in to assist, but I cannot establish what is faulting by looking at the log file.
Can someone provide me with some assistance as to determining why the error occurred and also how to rectify?
Thank you very much.

I am not seeing much of anything indicating an error in Virtualbox itself. If "an error in the VBox client side" means that the error happened inside the guest OS and the guest OS stayed running, then there would be nothing in the Virtualbox log to show what the problem may be. In fact, a running Virtualbox window and an issue inside the guest OS normally indicates that Virtualbox is working and your guest OS has a problem you would solve independently of Virtualbox.

The log is not closed off, meaning that it was taken while the guest was running, supporting the above assertion. Best to shut down the guest first.
