Not sure why it works... but first I did this: export VBOX_HMVIRTEX_IGNORE_SVM_IN_USE=1 Then I opened VirtualBox VirtualBox and then, I created a new machine with the old .vdi vile (machine_name.vdi) and it started! *earlier I also did $chmod 777 some /Machines/machine_name but I dont know if that was required. thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
