    Virtualbox Logs

    Hello. I installed the newest version of Virtualbox, and it saves the log files to the home folder. Is there a way to disable/change this? Thanks!

    Yup. Add VBOX_LOG_DEST=nofile to your environment variables.

    in your terminal...
    sudo nano ~/.profile

    add the following lines to the end of the file...

    VBOX_LOG_DEST=nofile
    export VBOX_LOG_DEST


    save, reboot, enjoy.

    Hi,

    Please describe it a little bit more detailed for a Linux newbie.

    When I copy

    sudo nano ~/.profile

    in the Terminal, I see only an empty nano window with nothing in it...

    How to proceed?

    This may help you...(specifically, the section on Persistent environment variables)
