VirtualBox VM 5.0.24_Ubuntu r108355 linux.amd64 (Jul  5 2016 08:17:21) release log
You are using the version from Ubuntu's software center. Uninstall that one and install the official one from VirtualBox's site (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads).
00:00:00.433551 Guest OS type: 'Linux'
Choose the more specific "Linux 2.6 / 3.x / 4.x (32-bit)" OS type instead of the generic "Linux".

I'd like to see an updated VBox.log:
  1. Start the VM. Not from a saved or suspended state. Clean start.
  2. Take the steps required to generate/observe the error. Pretty much ... boot it up.
  3. Shut down the VM. Not suspended, not paused. Shut down. If you can't shut it down by normal means, close the VM window and select "Power off".
  4. Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show Log..."
  5. Save it (just the first log), ZIP it and attach it in your response (see the "Upload attachment" at the bottom of the form).
On top of that, I'd like to see the "recipe" of the VM, the ".vbox" file:
  1. Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show in Finder/Explorer/Whatever".
  2. ZIP the selected ".vbox" file and attach it in your response.

Here are the differences between my setup (6.0rc2) and yours (6.0):
  • I don't have PAE enabled, you do.
  • I don't have IO/APIC enabled, you do.
  • I have X2APIC enabled, you don't. That I guess is due to the fact that X2APIC became the default after 5.1.x. for Linux VMs.
  • I have 512 MB of RAM, you have 2048 MB.
  • I have 16 MB of VRAM, you have 128 MB.
  • I have "USB Tablet", you have "PS/2 Mouse".
I believe pretty much I went with the defaults. Works flawlessly.

Tnx for info. It looks like it was my installation problem (altough I did it according to youtube tutorial exactly). I downloaded this one https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B_HAFnYs ... t=download and it boots up but when I open browser it says "unfortunately, browser has stopped" and it says so for every other app too.

Hmm... Why don't you download it from the official site? http://www.android-x86.org/
The final release is out.

I don't have the slightest idea. Why don't you ask them or do some research?
