VirtualBox doesn't start virtual PCs

TiborB · 2009-04-30 22:14:12

Hi,
my fresh installation of virtualbox-ose fails to start my two newly configured virtual PCs.
Both are configured as install CD and empty disk.
Error it gives is:
Unknown -1909 error during initialization of the Runtime

Then in separate window:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine ReactOS.
Virtual machine 'ReactOS' has terminated unexpectedly during startup.

And details:

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Machine
Interface: IMachine {13420cbb-175a-4456-85d0-301126dfdec7}

The same situation is with Ubuntu 9.04 (with install CD)...

I have installed this version:
community/virtualbox-ose 2.2.0-1

Any suggestions?

Tibor

did you load vboxdrv module and add your username to the vboxusers group?

i got the exactly the same problem, with the errors mentioned above.
vboxdrv module is loaded, user is in vboxusers group.

I have vboxdrv module loaded and I'm in vboxusers group
as bs confirmed, this is probably not a problem of configuration

i downloaded and installed virtualbox from the official site ( http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb … ux_x86.run ) and it is working like a charm. seems like the arch package has got some kind of bug.

hey guys. can you try this and tell me if works?

....

@bs don't do it again. use the installer and uninstall it and then use virtualbox_bin package from aur

i have this problem too, with the official virtualbox-ose and wonder's package.

modprobed vboxdrv and already in vboxusers group.

from ubuntu forums:
as root:

VBOX=$(grep vboxusers /etc/group | sed 's/vboxusers:x:\(.*\):.*/\1/')
mount -t usbfs -o devgid=$VBOX,devmode=664,nodev,noexec,nosuid none /proc/bus/usb
