VirtualBox problem: cannot take snapshot

  • 772

I have just setup a Lucid Lynx desktop machine. I have installed VirtualBox 3.2.6 on this machine to run several server. I have created a new Lucid Lynx server in one VM, the VM creation is fine but when I try to take a snapshot, it seems the action starts but never ends... The desktop machine is in ext4.

Is this a know problem ?

Thanks a lot,

Luc

  1. You should probably start by taking a closer look at your snapshot directories for the obvious (enough available space, rights, etc.).

  2. Nope, mine works perfectly. I suspect you do not have permissions on your snapshot folder which, if you have not changed anything, will be: ~/VirtualBox/Machines/.

    Also make sure that you belong to the vboxusers group.
