vbox still running even after b2d stop #14

Closed SvenDowideit closed 10 years ago

SvenDowideit commented 10 years ago

even when the gui is not running

which stops the installer

<shykes> (the installer does)
<shykes> I already ran "boot2docker stop"
<shykes> anything else I should do?
<SvenDowideit> stop virtualbox
<SvenDowideit> apparently vbox does not always do what we tell it (in so many places)
<shykes> how?
<shykes> the virtualbox gui doesn't appear to be running
<shykes> should I start it?
<SvenDowideit> oh? shit.
* zhiyan is now known as zhiyan_
<SvenDowideit> thats yet another failure mode then
<SvenDowideit> yeah, try start&stop
<lk4d4> wow, weird thig about entrypoint. It doesn't work for all my images :( I'll try to fix it today
<shykes> looks like that worked
<lk4d4> I think I saw code, that does this thing with #nop ADD
<SvenDowideit> I've not had vbox fail like that, one more issue to the bonfire
<shykes> SvenDowideit: FYI I looked for virtualbox in "applications", opened it, immediatly quit it
<SvenDowideit> sweet, merci
<shykes> it showed only 1 VM in stopped state, which is what I expected

actually, maybe i can get the 'check for vbox running' to turn off the installation of vbox (just like i do in windows) - as I would like to avoid upgrading vbox - its fraught with broken-ness it seems)

I have added 'and please stop virtualbox`, but I have seen even that not be enough once. I presume if all else fails, users will think to reboot.

Not too many people have reported this as a problem recently, so I guess the added text in the error message has helped :)
