Description
Hi,
Basic info:
Host | 32-bit Debian Linux, Dell Precision M4500. Virtualbox 3.2.10 |
Guest | Win7 (32bit). |
Problem: I try to save the state of my running guest from terminal because my X server screwed up (which might be another bug). I googled out that by calling
VBoxManage controlvm Win7 savestate
I should be able to save the state of the running VM. When I issue the command I get the following response:
mnt@localhost:~$ VBoxManage -nologo list runningvms "Win7" {e7f536be-16f6-4a98-b3cb-cd8939917b58} mnt@localhost:~$ VBoxManage controlvm Win7 savestate Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.10_OSE (C) 2005-2010 Oracle Corporation All rights reserved. ERROR: code NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057) - Invalid argument value (extended info not available) Context: "SaveState(progress.asOutParam())" at line 165 of file VBoxManageControlVM.cpp
The outcome of the command is that the Virtual Machine is shut down instead of the state is saved.
