Description
Hi, My system: Ubuntu Linux 8.04. Memory: 2GBytes Windows XP host: using 1GByt of memory.
Problem: randomly my virtual Windows got killed by Linux host with this log entry:
Sep 18 09:49:19 my-host-name kernel: [ 648.872976] Out of memory: kill process 7392 (VBoxSVC) score 2218291 or a child
Please help Thanks,
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Reduce the memory you assign to your XP guest. (512 MB is more than enough for casual use)
The fact that Linux kills a process because it runs out of memory has little to do with VirtualBox. Unless VBox is leaking memory.
Closing for now.
