[Solved] Virtualbox will not start a saved machine

Hi guys,

Long time ago, with an update my virtualbox stopped working.
The error that appears is:

Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

I have the following packages installed:

virtualbox 4.3.18-1
virtualbox-ext-vnc 4.3.18-1
virtualbox-guest-iso 4.3.18-1
virtualbox-guest-modules 4.3.18-3
virtualbox-guest-utils 4.3.18-1
virtualbox-host-modules 4.3.18-3

I even tried removing and installing again all this.
After that I was sure to do modeprobe vboxdrv

If I disable usb2.0 ehci it works, but I need it.

If matters I am running antergos gnome, with all updates.
My virtualbox drive is a XP 32bit (with guest additions installed, etc)

Here is a similar report: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1467916
Also this problem seems to occur in other operative systems such as mac (I've googled it)

Re: [Solved] Virtualbox will not start a saved machine

the Arch solution would likely be to install virtualbox-ext-oracle from the AUR, however you're running Antergos so I don't know how compatible that solution would be.
