Just click twice on the "shutdown" button -> this will kill the VM process immediately
Is this documented somewhere? In googling various terms like "power off", "force shutdown", etc I didn't find this trick anywhere (nor did I find the right-click menu). My searching did come up with the "Reboot" feature which was supposed to force-shutdown after a timeout, but that is apparently not implemented yet.
Hi Derek, it is implemented, it may not work as supposed to though:) Did you try it, how long did you wait, was the VM completely stuck or services were supposed to be running ok, do you have guest-agent running in the guest?
The VM was completely stuck.. Connecting to the console I'd see an image but the "clock" was frozen, the mouse wouldn't move, and it wouldn't respond to any keypresses. The VM guest normally does run the guest agent tools, but I suspect they were not repsonding at all. What I tried: 1) The reboot button. 2) The shutdown button. 3) The shutdown button again (still only a single click). 4) (after this thread) Right Click -> Power Off I have not tried clicking twice on the shutdown button. If this VM hangs again I can try it again. I don't know what caused the VM to hang so I'm not sure exactly how to reproduce this issue. In terms of the "reboot" feature that I claim not not be implemented, I'm referring to [0]. The documentation of this feature claims that it will timeout and force a power off. Assuming the current reboot is this feature, it did not do that. Interestingly, as I re-read this page now it DOES mention the context menu and a "power off" feature! Thank you,
Thanks, michal
