VBox Guest Additions make crash VM VB during take VM snapshots

[Kowa92]

Hi All!

I have a VBox VM with Ubuntu 18.04 as guest on WIndows 10 Host. Before installing the VBox Guest Addition (VB GA) on Ubuntu VM, the VM snapshots all worked very well! But after installing it, all the snapshots that are made cause a crash of the same VM (they interrupt its functioning). In practice, the snapshot process stops and crashes as soon as it reaches 96% of the acquisition of the same. I need the VB GA to implement the shared network folder between guest and host.

In my opinion this is a bug of the VB GA.

• What's the cause of this crash? Is it possible to fix it?

Thank you.

Greetings,

Lorenzo

The procedure that i did to install the VB GA in Ubuntu VM, was:

1. Installation of these packages in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms;

2. Restarting VM;

3. Installation of VB GA through the iso image provided with the option "insert VB GA image" of my Oracle VB Manager .

->> I have another question to do:

I noticed that, once the VB GA is installed on Ubuntu VM, i have to enter my Ubuntu account password twice to access the "sf_Shared_Folder" that i used.

• Why this thing? Is it normal this behavior?

Thank you for your support.

I'm having the same exact problem...also crashing at 96% after installing VB GA (with Kali Linux guest OS). I can still do snapshot at login but not after.
