I ran a test-kitchen instance and all was fine, but at the end when I did try to destroy it kitchen with:
roberto@pc:~$ kitchen destroy
Virtualbox gave me this error.

I ran Virtualbox and I can not removed the instance because it also was locked and the close option was disable.
Anyone else with this problem?
VBoxManage: error: Cannot unregister the machine 'X' while it is locked.
It's locked, because it's in use, so basically you need to shut it down, e.g.
VBoxManage controlvm VMNAME poweroff
Change VMNAME
to your machine name, e.g. default-ubuntu-1204_default_1391521776
.
Then you can unregister via:
VBoxManage unregistervm VMNAME --delete
Specifying --delete
will delete your VM. If you don't want to delete it, you can make a backup from ~/"VirtualBox VMs/VMNAME
.
There are two things that can cause this issue. Please ensure:
If the machine appears in the list of Virtual Machines in the VBox GUI, try the command again. If they are not listed in the VirtualBox GUI, remove the .kitchen
directory and try again.
