PowerOff and never again start (untill killall virtualbox_process)

[Jan Seidl]

Hi, i have a similar problem as #7179... I have virtualbox in cycle - restore snapshot, start VM, add sharedfolders, poweroff vm,... and from time to time (hour, 3,.. - it is random) - virtualbox total ended (but in task manager running). I mean, examples in cmd:

first poweroff

c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe controlvm PE1 poweroff
Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.10
(C) 2005-2010 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.

ERROR: The machine 'PE1' does not have an open session
Details: code VBOX_E_INVALID_SESSION_STATE (0x80bb000b), component Machine, interface IMachine, callee IUnknown
Context: "OpenExistingSession(a->session, machineuuid)" at line 90 of file VBoxManageControlVM.cpp

check state VM:

c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe showvminfo PE1
Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.10
(C) 2005-2010 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.

Name:            PE1
(...)
PAE:             off
(...)
State:           powered off (since 2010-10-25T08:18:36.000000000)
(...)

(...) is unimportant information

in every discusion I read, be solved is off PAE, but it`s same problem

ok, showvminfo say vm is poweroff, then:

c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe startvm PE1
Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.10
(C) 2005-2010 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.

Waiting for the VM to power on...
ERROR: The VM session was closed before any attempt to power it on
Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component Machine, interface ISession, callee

and what is it? VM is power on...

Sry for my English...
