Good morning,
I have successfully installed virtual box and whonix. Whenever I start Gateway or Workstation individually both VMs work fine. However, when I run gateway and run workstation my mouse freezes up and both VMs close abruptly. The status then states aborted. What am I doing wrong or what did I miss?
Must I add I am installing this on Linux Mint
Good Morning Patrick,
Sir, trust and believe that I have tried that solution about 5 times and it didn’t change a thing.
Which solution?
From https://www.whonix.org/wiki/VirtualBox/Troubleshooting#Aborted_Status
Whonix ™ provides VM images that operate inside of the VM. Whatever occurs inside a VM should never lead to a crash (status aborted) of the host virtualization software, VirtualBox.
Unfortunately, I cannot add anything else to that.
The General VirtualBox Troubleshooting Steps include
consider running Whonix ™ from a Linux computer rather than Windows computer, see Host Operating System Selection.
I doubt you switched your host operating system to Debian buster? Because this very most likely wouldn’t happen there.
Therefore the only option left is this:
Consider reporting a bug against upstream VirtualBox [archive] – VirtualBox bugtracker [archive] / VirtualBox forums [archive]. Logs are useful for developers to isolate the problem. [10]
To capture the VirtualBox log:
VirtualBox→right click a VM→Show Log...→Log→Save→OK- Zip the log.
- Report to VirtualBox support.
I haven’t seen that happened yet either.
