Ubuntu :: Virtualbox Crash / What To Do?
Jul 31, 2011
I had Windows XP running fine on Virtualbox, but it's started crashing. This happens instantly when I try to startup the virtual machine. It doesn't get anywhere near booting up. Total crash, no ctrl-alt-del on host. I've tried reducing the RAM and number of processors but it doesn't help. I hadn't changed anything when the problem started.
Virtualbox Version 4.0.12
NAT network
Host kernel Linux 2.6.35-30-generic-pae(i686), distro Ubuntu 10.10

host hibernates while virtual machines are running on it.
In my case, my Ubuntu 10.04 host hibernates nicely, but when it resumes, virtual machines are reset and their state is lost.

I used to have my ubuntu 10.04 running with a virtualbox for a windows xp. I remove that virtualbox and create another one, bigger, with 10gb. On the process, my computer freezes.. now I'm stuck on that initramfs screen.I really need to recover my linux (I have apache, mysql, samba, all up and running).I can reach "grub" booting with right shift pressed, but I really don't know where I have to begin.

Observed on two host systems both with openSUSE 11.3 32 bit using ext4: When a big files, in this case a 1.2 GB and a 1.7 GB is copied from DVD, usb harddrive or shared folder into a Windows 7 32 bit guest system, the copied file is corrupted. The md5sum has changed and until the guest system has been rebooted successive md5sum tests on the same file comes up with various results... After a reboot md5sum tests show consistent results, but a sum different from the original file.

I'm running Fedora 15 with current updates and kernel. I do not have anything special or non-standard about my configuration or setup. I use grsync to sync my home folder files to a remote rsync server on my network. I've checked my hard drives and my memory and everything else I can think. Here is the problem:
grsync will run for some time and once it nears completion it will crash. This, however, is no standard crash. It literally shuts my computer "OFF". I have shared the remote rsync folder through CIFS as well and I can copy those exact same files through nautilus with drag and drop without issue. I have had a few occasions where the rsync process will complete without issue, but this is a rare occasion. Since it powers my computer completely off I do not enjoy the luxury of having any log files or messages to attempt to diagnose from.

I was trying to install VirtualBox through the YaST > Software Management but it is not working, someone in the forum told me that I have to download the OSE version and do it manual way. Finally I am able to start up VB but not able to use the network connection. Thus I am trying to do this:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. I get this error:
[code]...
When I type dmesg, it shows me a bunch of info which I don't know what should look for. When I type modprobe vboxnetflt, I get the error: FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetflt (/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-default/updates/vboxnetflt.ko): Invalid module format. what should I do in order to get my VB to be able to connect to the internet?

you're playing a game like Supertuxcart or Open Arena and the screen freezes which hints at something that has crashed.Well this happened this weekend when my mate's kids were playing those games on my laptop running Ubuntu 9.10.
All I could think of to resolve the issue was to hit the Power Button and restart my laptop. I am assuming that this is not exactly a good thing to do but at the time I could not think of anything else to do seeing as the screen froze and I could not use the mouse or pressing any buttons.Anybody got any ideas on how to un crash an application with out hitting the power button and forcing a re-boot?

My desktop has suddenly refused to load. I had applied some updates last week. My PC worked fine on Sunday but on Monday when I booted it the system froze at the point where the login screen should appear. The keyboard does not respond to Caps-lock or Crt-Atl-{Del,Backspace}. I can boot into recovery-mode but once I startx I get the same probem.
If I use a slightly older kernel and try to startx I get the desktop backup-ground colour but nothing else, no mouse cursor or menus.
I can't find any problems reported in the logs. Can anyone give me some trouble-shooting tips or have any idea on what I might be able to do?
Sorry if I am short of details but I have to write this from work now that the desktop is dead and I don't have all the details to hand.
Can anyone offer any pointers?

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 I have been unable to use Emacs23. Upon starting Emacs, it immediately causes X to crash and I am returned to the login screen.I thought of looking for a log file and providing it here or in a Launchpad post to shed some light on the problem, but I don't know which log I could provide (if there is one).

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 (and all updates applied) any(?) KDE app causes Ubuntu to crash. (X restarts and the login screen is presented.)This happens immediately when opening kolourpaint, after clicking add file in krename, and after clicking "ok" to set up krusader for the first time.

I'm using a ZaReason Terra HD netbook. I have not changed any of the default hardware, nor messed with any of the X or openoffice settings. For almost as long as I've had the computer, I've been getting random X crashes. The screen goes to black, dumps some text, and I'm given a series of options of what to do (low-graphics mode, diagnostics, exit to terminal). From what I've gathered, this only happens when openoffice is running (it can be in the background, it does not have to be the active application).
I really have no idea what to do or what is causing this. I've attached a log, and I will gladly attach whatever else might be useful. I've looked on the internet for help, and while I do see a lot of X and openoffice issues, they seem to be related to higher end hardware than I have. I'm running Ubuntu 10.4, openoffice.org 3.2, and using an Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller .
Note: the attached log is a text file, but I made it a .doc because it barely exceeded the file size limit for .txt .

I closed an application and the PC stuck (i am strongly suspecting windows effects for this), then I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to terminal and I restarted the pc through there.
Now,everything works fine, but, when the windows aren't maximised are topless (cannot drug them or close them). When they are maximized there is the global menu so there's no actual problem there.
how to avoid future crashes like this?

My Foxconn nettop NT-A3500 crashed.
I install Ubuntu 11.04 and enter it. Then I install all available updates(in the update manager), activate AMD/ATI closed source GPU driver(under hardware drivers).
Then I do a reboot(sudo reboot). Then I login and do a VT switch to ex:tty2(CTRL + ALT + F2). Then I input the command "Localhost$ sudo pidof X"
will show the pid I have to kill(kill as root or sudo). Then I kill the pid and the NT-A3500 would crash(usually on first try).

After a successful upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 I mistakenly tried the option to start with the KDE Desktop - disaster. Now all I get is the blue splash screen with nothing on it and then a black screen which only has Cairo dock on it - no panels or anything else. I need a way to revert to the Gnome Desktop at startup - can any one help ? I can open with the recovery option at bootup and get a terminal but I don't know what to put in it.

I have a very weird printing problem, and don't really know where to look at to solve it.For some apps,printing works great (openoffice, acroread, kpdf, kghostview, Kolourpaint). For some others, the app just freezes when I click on "print" (gimp, firefox, "document reader", "image reader"). Maybe this is not the correct forum to ask this question, but I don't really see which one would be the best.

This has happened multiple times. I'd be running firefox and it would crash for whatever reason. I'd try to restart it and it would tell me that it's "already running as another process."
ps and top show no firefox. killall can't kill it. I found a few forum postings saying to delete the .parentlock file in the firefox directory. That allows me to start it, but all my personalizations and settings are gone. I have to each time create a new profile and copy everything over.
Kubuntu 9.04, all up to date, 2.6.28-13, 64-bit.

After a crash I cannot log in to the GNOME environment anymore, after entering the password the login animation is being displayed for a while and then screen returns to gdm. GNOME failsafe works fine. I don't know what information may be useful to debug this problem. ~/.xsession-errors contains
Code:
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_US.
Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit

I am an Ubuntu/Linux noob, I installed Ubuntu a few weeks ago, and it sometimes gets extremely slow and crashes. I can't get out of the crash with ctrl-alt-backspace and I have even tried the key combinations suggested here to no avail.
Ubuntu 9.10
Computer:
IBM T42
mem 500 MiB
Intel Pentium 1.70GHz
The crashes usually involve Firefox being open + another program ( could be pdf reader, calibre, or something similar). I try to keep the amount of open Firefox tabs below 5 as it gets very, very slow (that was one of the reasons why I decided to install Ubuntu, in the old windows XP installation Firefox was also excruciatingly slow).

I have an alienware m17x laptop with 2 hardrives, on primary is win7 and on secondary is ubuntu 9.10. The problem I have is if I boot (using Grub) into linux it crashes before the ubuntu logo pops up and locks up completely, needing a hard reset. If I boot linux again, all is fine. I can't copy the text that comes up when it crashes, is this logged anywhere so that I can post it? The same thing kind of happens in win7, on first boot (via Grub) I get the windows logo for about a second then BSOD and it reboots (so fast I can't see the error). If i boot again into win7 it boots fine.

I wasn't using my laptop for at least a few hours, but when I looked at it, it had seemed to crash. I am hoping to figure out what caused this, and to prevent it from happening again. I believe it has something to do with drm or b43 as that is what I could decipher from the screen. I have checked some logs and found nothing irregular. I do not want this to happen again. I am running kernel 2.6.33.1 with no patches and a custom config tailored to my processor. The reason I am running 2.6.33.1 is because of support for my Wifi.

So everything was working great in Lucid until my system crashed about 10 minutes ago. After booting it back up I have no sound anymore. I've got a Soundblaster Audigy that's been working in Ubuntu for years now.
Pulseaudio and Alsamixer are set how they should be (every volume meter around 80 and nothing muted).
aplay -l provides:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: CA0106 [CA0106], device 0: ca0106 [CA0106]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: CA0106 [CA0106], device 1: ca0106 [CA0106]
[Code].....
I even tried some unorthodox ideas such as completely shutting down via shutdown -h now. I tried killing and restarting the pulseaudio daemon.
