macOS 11.4 - cannot open ISO dialog after VM start

Post by neilyoung »

Hi,

Since 6.1.22 I'm having a strange problem with VB. I can't provide an ISO file to the newly created VM. Whenever I create "New" in the dialog, the entire VB crashes with Segmentation Fault 11

The VM can be created, but after launch when I need to provide the ISO file I'm lost. I already have deinstalled and re-installed. Deeply. My old VMs can be launched, but I cannot create a new...

The log shows this. The error message is generic and non saying.

Code: Select all

Re: macOS 11.4 - cannot open ISO dialog after VM start

Post by paulmc »

@neilyoung {famous name BTW}, that looks rather like a Vagrant setup … In any event, there have been quite a few seemingly related threads recently, such as 'Virtualbox 6.1.18 crashes when adding Disk Image (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)'. Hopefully, one of the workarounds linked or mentioned there will be helpful for you too; you could first try the probably quickest one, described in the last sentence {"E.g., one alternative way …"} of a post in that thread.

Sorry, didn't get a notification about your post. What do you mean by "vagrant" setup?

Will try your workarounds

Quickly tried this:
guyster wrote:You can work around this on your VirtualBox machine by going to its Settings::Storage and adding your install .iso as IDE Primary Device 0 (deleting the empty one there if necessary), then starting your virtual machine and it should boot into install.
...and it worked... Strange

@neilyoung, as to my 'Vagrant' reference, I just meant that those log messages seemed more typical of running VirtualBox via a wrapper such as Vagrant

Anyway, glad that one of the workarounds was successful for you too. :-)
