(SOLVED) Fail to install Ubuntu 14.04 on VM

[satimis]

Hi all

Host - Ubuntun 14.04 64bit
VM to be installed - ubuntu 14.04 64bit
VirtualBox

Settings
Controller IDE -> ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso

Start -> I can select "Language"
-> either clicking "Try Ubuntu without installing" or "Install Ubuntu" it died automatically after a while.

I have tried the whole afternoon without a breakthrough. Also I have checked md5sum

Pls help. Thanks

A VM log file would help. Right click VM in GUI, select "Show Log", save "VBox.log" (only) to a file, zip file and attach here. Make sure the VM is shut down before you collect the log of the session.

Hi,

It is a big file.

During trying before, I saw there was a warning somewhere - optical drive not accessible

Yes, that is why I emphasized "zip file and attach here".

Hi,

The extension pack is the latest version. Besides I just reinstalled it. Problem remained

not according to the log you posted. the extension packs always match the VirtualBox version.

current… http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... ox-extpack

Lot of thanks for your advice and link. After upgrade the extension pack I can install Ubuntu 14.04.

I have been running VirtualBox sometimes. This is the first time I encountered this problem. This is an old box I couldn't boot USB which is detected by BIOS. After a while it asked for boot disc. I have to install the OS with CDrom. I was mistakenly looking on this direction.
