Ah! I missed your previous post. Will give it a try and report on the result.

Was hoping for some new insights here. A line of thinking that occurs to me: Not sure what caused the initial failure, but the remedy was to completely remove VirtualBox and reinstall using the latest package. I believe I've successfully installed, but the vms abort when I start them using the GUI. ...

This is a user-2-user forum. And I'm not sure that without an Oracle support contract you can be asking for something like that. So, peer users are your best bet at the moment. Not that it can't happen, just don't bet on it... Ah! So "We" refers to forum monitors, who are NOT associated w...

I know and I appreciate the change. My note was to avoid marking this as "SOLVED" again just because I got the vms running. The problem really is not solved yet. So, now, I think the questions are: Why do these vms start using the command line, but not via the VirtualBox Manager? What woul...

Here's the latest collection of logs...

PLEASE DO NOT MARK THIS THREAD AS "SOLVED"...at least not yet. I have suspected that part of the problem here is because the vm's have been unable to initiate their video driver(s) in the vms "show" window. So, this morning I tried to start the vms using the command line...and th...

Here is a new batch of logs. I have been toying with settings, based on some other posts. I've reduced the memory to 2Gb--even though there is plenty of memory.

Fair enough. I'm still relatively new to Linux. So, please forgive my ignorance with the following. These are a reasonable representation of the commands I have entered several times today to try to resolve this. In my last posting, I simply removed virtualbox. This time I used the "purge"...

I'm afraid I'm back in the same boat. I can't start any of my vm's. I was running fine for a few days, but found the servers down again this morning. Now, however, I start a vm and just as it begins to come up, the window closes and the state of the vm is "aborted". After realizing that th...

Well, in one last "Hail Mary", I was behind in updating my Debian host. Since my web servers weren't running, it seemed like a good time to update. I also thought this might just update some package that was corrupt and causing my problem. I used the Synaptic Package Manager to do this. Af...

Additional Info: A brand new vm doesn't start either.

Hi folks, I've spent a fair amount of time here today. I know this problem has been posted in several of these forums; but I have yet to find a solution. So, I hope someone can help. We had a brief power outage recently. Since then, VirtualBox will not start any of the VM's I have--including VM's th...
