Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-1.1
Severity: normal
Reporting this here rather than the Virtualbox bugtracker as you need an
Oracle account to do this, which requires personal information to
register and is therefore unacceptable.
startvm has failed intermittently for some time, yet the command always
returns as success (0) and therefore my script failed to capture the
error. The following command is used, ran from cronjob script running as
root:
====================================================================
sudo -u <user that owns the VM> VBoxManage startvm "<VM name>" 2>&1
====================================================================
The VM is in the saved state. I added extra code to detect the failure
to start, and now have my first actual feedback from the failure:
====================================================================
VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine '<VM name>' has terminated
unexpectedly during startup with exit code 0
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005),
component Machine, interface IMachine, callee
Waiting for VM "<VM name>" to power on...
====================================================================
This is clearly a failure and should return a failure exit code.
I am not looking into the actual error itself as it looks to be a mess
from the search hits.
