I am unable to start any of my VMs interactively. They work when run headless however (--type vrdp)
If I try to run normally I get:
$ VBoxManage startvm Kubuntu
Waiting for the VM to power on...
VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'Kubuntu' has terminated unexpectedly during startup because of signal 6
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Machine, interface IMachine, callee
My host machine is an Intel iMac running 10.6.7, and I'm using VirtualBox 4.0.6 with the Oracle extensions installed.
Any ideas?
Further info: The virtual machines start up just fine interactively if I use sudo. That seems to imply there is some sort of bad permission or locked file or something somewhere, but I have already checked all the files in Library/VirtualBox.
What were the hosts? Were they all Kubuntu? The first error line is indicating that the host has shut down (Kubuntu called abort, thus sending SIGABRT to VBox). This makes it look like the host is the problem, but you implied that there are multiple failing hosts. Did you fix it? If so, how? – Synetech – 2012-11-26T03:25:56.990
