VirtualBox machine is running, host want to hibernate, error occured
hello everyone,
I need a little help. I have Linux Mint 17 64-Bit host system and VBox 4.3.12 64-Bit. If I want to hibernate my whole system, the host, and its running a virtual machine then the host try to hibernate and come back to the login manager. I looked in dmesg messages and found "warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)". So without a running virtual machine everything is fine and I can switch to hibernate mode.

You likely need to look into setting things up so that VB saves state to disk on hibernate. Google hibernate scripts and you might get an idea how to use vboxmanage for that.
sorry am posting on a device with limited browser do can't check for you.

Since I'm at home on a desktop I can now google this looks promising though I cannot give any guarantees as to its correctness: http://pclinuxoshelp.com/index.php?t...Box&oldid=1212
I did something similar in that I had a VirtualBox instance running headless and managed to set things up so that it saved state when I shut down the host but, sadly, I don't recall what I did but seem to recall it involved runlevels which may not work soon on Debian based distributions.
Some more ideas of thigns to try here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...albox-machines
