Failed to load unit HGCM (VERR_NO_MEMORY)

Post by Tiansen »

I am facing issue when trying to start a saved snapshot.

I get this error:

Failed to load unit 'HGCM' (VERR_NO_MEMORY).
Koda rezultata: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Sestavni del: ConsoleWrap
Vmesnik: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

Restarting host does not help. In the past I already encountered this issue once, but suddenly it started to work, I don't know what fixed it.
I need to urgently solve this, so any help is very appreciated.

Thank you!

VERR_NO_MEMORY probably means there's not enough host memory available to run the VM. Check what's running on the host, even after reboot, to see if the amount of RAM the VM is set for is available. Else you may have to discard the saved state.
