I am trying to launch two VMs using docker machine:
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox myvm1
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox myvm2
I see the following error in the output:
(myvm2) Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
(myvm2) VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter
(myvm2) VBoxManage: error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: failed to open /dev/vboxnetctl: No such file or directory
(myvm2) VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component HostNetworkInterfaceWrap, interface IHostNetworkInterface
(myvm2) VBoxManage: error: Context: "RTEXITCODE handleCreate(HandlerArg *)" at line 94 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp
(myvm2)
(myvm2) This is a known VirtualBox bug. Let's try to recover anyway...
Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: Error setting up host only network on machine start: The host-only adapter we just created is not visible. This is a well known VirtualBox bug. You might want to uninstall it and reinstall at least version 5.0.12 that is is supposed to fix this issue
I installed the latest version of VirtualBox (6.0.0) from there. When I open VirtualBox window and click on the VMs in the left panel I get the following error popup:
UPDATE
I tried to re-install VirtualBox 6.0.0 and in the end of the VirtualBox installation process I saw the following screen:
Maybe it is a reason of the failures described above? My mac is running on 10.14.1 macOS Mojave
How can I fix these errors?
You probably need to approve the VirtualBox kernel extension in System Preferences under Security & Privacy:
After you allow the kernel extension, the installer should be able to run successfully.
The (rc=-1908) usually happens when the secure boot is enable, try to disable and run your vm again
Secure Boot settings are available in Startup Security Utility:
Turn on your Mac, then press and hold Command (⌘)-R immediately after you see the Apple logo to start up from macOS Recovery.
When you see the macOS Utilities window, choose Utilities > Startup Security Utility from the menu bar.
When you're asked to authenticate, click Enter macOS Password, then choose an administrator account and enter its password.
Select "No security" option
I got this exact error after upgrading my Mac to Monterey. Remove Virtualbox and reinstall solves the problem.
I have been following this guide: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sf_mount_auto
I am running ubuntu 16 with a Windows 2016 VM guest, the VM name is "WindowsServer2016". I need to create a shared folder that is in my home: /home/heatdeath/For_Virtual (is the name of the folder in Ubuntu that I want to share)
In virtualbox I have added the folder to the shared folder, and enabled auto-mount. Yet when I go into the Windows VM, and look under networks, there is no shared folder.
So instead of auto-mounting, I try manually by using
net use x: \\vboxsvr\For_Virtual
And I get the error:
System error 53 had occured
The network path was not found
I also tried vboxsrv.
Kinda at my wits end with this, done alot of research and nothing new turns up. Any help appreciated
Indeed difficult & frustrating to solve, if you don't know.
My Linux distro didn't include VBoxAdditions.iso
I finally found it at http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/
under the version of virtualbox installed.
First, make sure that you belong to the vboxsf and vboxusers groups, and usb if you want to use usb access. (It might be a bit different on your distro)
Just download the iso to a convenient location
(I use the same folder for all the msw sources),
and select it via the cd/dvd option in virtualbox.
Then start the guest session, and in the menu at the bottom of the guest window, make sure that the iso is selected, and start it from the guest file manager.
When finished installing, select reboot.
After, all the defined shared folders appear automatically as virtual optical disks just after the virtual hard disk and the virtual optical installation disk.
BTW, I tried to get help on the virtualbox forum, just getting a rude response.
I finally found the answer with an internet search.
I followed the steps below, but I'm getting an error.
Install Virtual Box (version 5.0.0) running on Windows 7 host machine.
Install Ubuntu server version 14.04.02 on it.
git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git
cd devstack; cp samples/local.conf .
After that i ran ./stack.sh but came with this error after running for approx 30 minutes:
2015-07-21 20:04:18.841 | ERROR (ConnectionRefused): Unable to establish connection to 10.0.2.15:8774/v2/c199aa06389a4c8c85dffddad18fce1b/flavors/… 2015-07-21 20:04:20.433 | + exit 1 deb#Devstack:~/devstack$
Please help me in resolving the issue
Try re-running the stack. Thats the best hack i found for DevStack debugging.
You need to do some specific network settings in virtual box to overcome this error.
From the Network section, change Attached to to Bridged Adapter, Adapter Type to Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net) and Promiscuous Mode to Allow All.
Check Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-v from System > Processor .
Select USB Tablet as the Pointing Device from System > Motherboard.
Then restart the virtual machine and check ifconfig for a new IP, add it in local.conf and then try install script again.
It should work this time :-)
I have a virtual machine with Windows XP with a clean installation. I set it as immutable to create a differential machine, so I create a new virtual machine, select the immutable hard disk and create a new snapshot in the new virtual machine folder.
However, when I try to start the virtual machine I get this error:
"failed to open a session for the virtual machine".
Código Resultado:
VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE (0x80BB0007)
Componente:
ProgressProxy
Interfaz:
IProgress {c20238e4-3221-4d3f-8891-81ce92d9f913}
What is the problem? until now I can use differential virtual machines without problems. I have installed the last version or VirtualBox v4.3.4 and the problem persists.
If I set the hard driver as normal and I create a new virtual machine and select this hard drive I don't have any problem.
EDIT: I use the same virtual disk and do the same steps in another computer and it works fine. I think that the problem is the VirtualBox of my computer with the problem, but I try to uninstall the program and reinstall it and the problem persists, so I don't know how to solve the problem.
EDIT 2: if I set the virtual harddrive as multiattached instead of immutable, then it works fine. In my case is enough, but I know that it would be work as immutable because it was work until now and it works in another computer.
I try to create a new user in windows to try if the problem if with the configuration of my account, but the problem persists. So I think that some general configuration of VirtualBox has been corrupted and I am not be able to repair it.
I would like to know if there is any solution to use a immutable hard drive, because I would like to solve the problem with VirtualBox, although by the moment the multiattached hard disk is enough.
I had the same issue, I tried editing the VM but it wasn't letting me save it. So I tried the following:
Tried editing the VM to change RAM/CPU etc, but it wasn't letting me save it
Deleted the vm (not the data) and tried adding it again, didn't fix it
Tried moving the vbox file to another directory and import it, but it didn't let me move the vbox file so I realized there's a virtualbox process running that's holding a lock on it. So I killed that process and started it again and my VM booted
Killing VM process dint work in my case.
Right click on the VM and click on "Discard Saved State".
This worked for me.

I had the same issue, and this trick works for me
Goto control panel
Open Uninstall program
Click on turn windows features on or off
Scroll down and find the hyper-V folder.
Uncheck the Hyper-V.
Apply changes and restart your system.
Now here you go... Open your virtual box and start the os you want.
Hope this helps..
Updating VirtualBox to newest version fixed my issue.
If you are in Windows and the error message shows VT-x is not available make sure Hyper-V is disabled in Windows components.
maybe it is caused by privilege, please try this:
#sudo chmod 755 /Applications
#sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Virtualbox.app
Something that I tried and work for me is simply you create a new virtual machine and you use the existing virtual hard disk file and everything is like you left it.
On Ubuntu, this can also be caused by incorrect permissions. I chmod 755 Logs/ which fixed the issue.
In my case I gave administrator privilege to Virtualbox and it solved my problem.
i.e., run run as administrator on windows 10
In may case, "VM VirtualBox Extension Pack" was broken. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it.
For MAC users
After some research, this worked for me:
Quit VirtualBox
Right click "Applications" folder
Click on "Get Info"
Change "Everyone" Permission to "Read Only"
Open VirtualBox, and now it should work.
Normally this error occurs when it try to load the previous state. This happened in Mac Virtual box.
I tried after restarting the virtual box but again also i've encountered this issue.
Right Click on the operating system in the virtual box and then Click on the Discard Saved State.. .This fixed the issue.
try this
sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key
and restart your system, when restart it shows option and select Mok key and you will work fine.
The only thing that solved the issue for me is to unmount the second hard disk on my laptop.
My current setup contains 1 HDD on SATA0 port and 1 SSD on SATA1 port. I've the OS and Oracle VirtualBox installed on the SSD drive.
When I deleted the partition on the HDD, the issue was solved.
This solved my problem:
open a cmd with admin privilige
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
reboot
Error gone and VMs are working again.
This worked for me:
In the Oracle VM Manager - right click on your virtual maching (for example kali linux).
In the menu choose "discard saved state".
Then press discard and restart your virtual machine.
Ubuntu based system, solution that worked for me...
Delete virtualbox and download the latest deb package from the virtualbox website.
Ok, here's a very short and to the point question. When trying to import a virtual PC 2004 Windows 2003 Server VM in VM Workstation 6.0.2 I'm getting an error 'unable to determine guest operating system'. Soo how to fix?
From here:
Make sure that that the VM is not currently running in VMware Server.
Make sure that VMware Server does not have a lock on the VM’s files. You have have to stop all VMware Server Services and/or reboot the (VMWare) server.
Make sure you have appropriate permissions to the VM’s files.
This is a fairly generic error from VMware Converter so I would try the following:
Step 1. Make sure you are running the latest version of VMware Converter. Updates seem to come pretty often for this tool.
Step 2. Check the VMware Converter log file. More often than not you will find the source of your problem here.
