The command: {{{ $ VBoxManage controlvm Windows savestate Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.10 (C) 2005-2010 Oracle Corporation All rights reserved. 0%... }}} I have to CTRL-C, close all the guest machines windows and kill all processes: {{{ $ ps -ef|grep VB brihuega 3189 1 0 09:28 tty1 00:00:00 /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxXPCOMIPCD brihuega 3198 1 0 09:28 ? 00:00:00 /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxSVC --pipe 10 --auto-shutdown $ kill 3189 3198 }}} Then I can run VBox again. The state of the guest machines is lost. These are the system data: {{{ Linux d*****i 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 27 17:14:28 CEST 2010 x86_64 Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5400 @ 2.70GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux }}} The system distro is ArchLinux. VBox version: VirtualBox-3.2.10-66896-Linux_amd64 Guest machine system doesn't matter. I've tryed with Windows XP, Windows 7, Ubuntu, 32 and 64 bits, etc. with the same problem. Log file attached.
