Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager periodically 'stopping' and no HA access

Configuration
1

Hi All

I seem to have a problem with my setup, it seems to have happened twice now so wondering if I have done something wrong/daft…

I have an old laptop running my HA… I followed the guide on installing Oracle and then setting up HA on an Ubuntu VM.

All seems to be OK but every couple of weeks my HA stops responding… I get a settings notification on any devices running the app and a ‘cant reach this page’ error in browser for 192.168.1.103

When I login to the laptop I have two programmes running:

  1. ‘HomeAssistant [Running] - Oracle VM Virtual Box’ - in which all looks as I would expect “Welcome to the HA command line” black screen.
  2. ‘Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager’ - now this has turned into an unresponsive white window!

A restart of the laptop seemed to sort it last time but this time the process seems to have ended with the HA machine ending up with an IP address of …90 instead of the usual …103

What am i doing wrong?

Is the laptop wired or wireless? I have seem similar behavior in old laptops in wireless. Ubuntu or Mint dropping connections.

It’s network connection is wired.

It’s a decent enough machine like… not new but i7 processor and 8gb ram.

Sorted thanks!

I’m experiencing a similar situation. Out of curiosity, what was your solution?
