NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)

Post by Jedi »

I am running Ubuntu 19-04 host and VirtualBox Version 6.0.8 r130520 (Qt5.12.2)

When I try and add a new virtual machine I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Failed to open virtual machine located in /media/mike/ed26adf1-8d42-4af6-b52d-6c037c616847/VirtualBox VMs/Zorin2/Zorin/Zorin.vbox.

Cannot register the DVD image '/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' {907aa765-7a38-4420-acdc-9a4e99426586} because a CD/DVD image '/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' with UUID {31e1d36d-b4d1-4ba8-b107-0847cb9467fa} already exists.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: VirtualBoxWrap
Interface: IVirtualBox {d0a0163f-e254-4e5b-a1f2-011cf991c38d}
I have searched the forum here for "NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)" and "Cannot register the DVD already exists." but did not get any hits.

I searched on Google and got one hit:

The problem is that was for a Windows host. I do not know where the file is on Ubuntu to edit. Does anyone know?

Post that "Zorin.vbox", ZIPPED.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
