Kstars frozen - help interpreting logs

Hi!

Last night I used the scheduler to image the whole night. When I woke up this morning, Kstars was frozen and had not parked the mount. Kstars run om Lubuntu 17.04 in a virtual machine on win 10. It normally works flawlessly. Indi run on a Raspberry 3 by the scope, connected via Ethernet so cabled connections all the way.

Looking at the logs, I find a log created yesterday night, and then a new log started this morning - as if Kstars restarted? I'm not good at reading these logs, so if anyone can help me interpret why there is a new log created this morning, and what happened in the end, when it froze, I'd be very grateful. Unfortumately, I did not have debug switched on.

Edit: cannot attach logs, too big, so here is a dropbox link:

Problems started here:
[2017-11-07T01:19:06.724 CET INFO ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - MoonLite :  "[ERROR] updatePostion error: Write Error: Input/output error. "

Not sure what caused it, but it lost communication with MoonLite. But it kept guiding. I can't see imaging sequence (maybe not logged?)

The last PHD2 even is this:
[2017-11-07T04:08:48.127 CET DEBG ][     org.kde.kstars.ekos.guide] - "{\"Event\":\"GuideStep\",\"Timestamp\":1510024127.149,\"Host\":\"Lubuntu2\",\"Inst\":1,\"Frame\":10316,\"Time\":18354.539,\"Mount\":\"Losmandy Gemini\",\"dx\":0.396,\"dy\":0.167,\"RADistanceRaw\":0.426,\"DECDistanceRaw\":-0.010,\"RADistanceGuide\":0.289,\"DECDistanceGuide\":0.000,\"RADuration\":150,\"RADirection\":\"West\",\"StarMass\":29179,\"SNR\":98.71,\"AvgDist\":0.38}"

Also KStars doesn't restart itself, so it was restarted somehow. Maybe some cables were jammed and connection lost? not sure.

Hi!

Thanks So I'm going to test some things tonight. Strange, though, with that restart... I was asleep.
