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 that were not running at the time. I'm running Debian 7. I was running virtualbox 5.1, but after reinstalling I'm now running version 5.2.10 and getting the same results.
I'm getting the usual error message:
If I attempt a straight start through the VBox Manager, I get the following error message as well...Failed to open a session for the virtual machine windowsvr. The virtual machine 'windowsvr' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: MachineWrap Interface: IMachine {85cd948e-a71f-4289-281e-0ca7ad48cd89}
Most of the posts I've seen suggest completely removing Virtualbox and reinstalling from the official download. I've done this several times. I've also reinstalled the kernel headers, and taken the advice from above by running 'sudo /sbin/vboxconfig'. The rebuild seems successful. And, I've rebooted the host server when it seemed appropriate.RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912) The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing '/sbin/vboxconfig' may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox. where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user.
I'm still fairly new to Linux, so I may be looking in the wrong places, but I don't see any logs pertaining to WindowsHardening--though the primary vm I am trying to start is a Windows vm. I've renamed the VBox.log in the vm/Logs folder to VBox.log.a. But no new log has been created, and attempts to start the vm produce no new entries in the log.
A current dpkg listing shows the following:
