Description
When removing a VM from the command line, Virtualbox often crashes with a critical error when *other* VMs are running. The dialog says for those running (one for each window): "A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution should be stopped. [...] Press OK to power off the machine."
The command executed is $ vboxmanage unregistervm "${childvm}" --delete where the variable "childvm" is a valid name of a VM.
The given log is: --- start of log --- Log created: 2021-01-13T10:42:27.425692000Z Process ID: 3619370 (0x373a2a) Parent PID: 12731 (0x31bb) Executable: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSVC Arg[0]: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSVC Arg[1]: --auto-shutdown AddRef: illegal refcnt=3221225469 state=2 --- end of log ---
During the crash "Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager" always says data is unavailable. Sometimes the manager refreshes the data itself, other times you need to restart the manager.
