Reacting to host shutdown
Reported by: | vad | Owned by: | |
---|---|---|---|
Component: | other | Version: | VirtualBox 6.1.4 |
Keywords: | host shutdown | Cc: | |
Guest type: | Windows | Host type: | Windows |
Description
- run Windows 10x64 virtual machine in Windows 10x64 host
- in host Windows session, start Notepad and type something
- in host Windows session, initiate shutdown
- observe the message "these applications prevent shutdown" - showing Notepad
- press "cancel" thus terminating the shutdown of the host
- observe what happens to the virtual machine:
- error message "failed to pause the execution of the virtual machine"
Callee RC: RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE 0x800706BA (0x800706BA)
- the console of the virtual machine remains connected and showing the desktop, but it's not working anymore
open VirtualBox Manager, and check the status of the virtual machine - it's "aborted"
What was expected: if virtual machine was reacting to the host shutdown, it probably should have either shut down itself, or gracefully terminated; there should be no attempt to pause (which failed); the GUI probably should disappear - rather than stayed on the screen while being non-operational.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Also: when now-aborted virtual machine is still on the screen, the attempt to close the window results in another error message "failed to pause execution", so it's impossible to close the window.
