Difficulties running Linux VMs on macOS 10.15.3
I’m running macOS 10.15.3 and VirtualBox 6.1.4. Intermittently Linux VMs will either fail to boot, immediately going to the “aborted” state, or they will crash internally, as in this screenshot and log. Not sure what’s causing it.

Re: Difficulties running Linux VMs on macOS 10.15.3
In this log there does not appear to be any indication of a Virtualbox crash. Troubleshoot the guest problems inside the guest OS.Maybe there's an internal syslog?
When you get a 'fail to boot, immediately going to aborted' run, zip and post that log.

Seriously? When's the last time you had a graphics card with only 8MB RAM on it?00:00:02.030924 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000000800000 (8 388 608, 8 MB)
That is not the default, so you would have had to change it, then ignore the warnings.

This VM is created from a Vagrantfile I didn't make, and that process doesn't emit any warnings. What's the default?

Re: Difficulties running Linux VMs on macOS 10.15.3
We don't support Vagrant here, we only support the official VirtualBox build and installer. I notice that "Ubuntu.vdi" is in the wrong place too, this could explain it.
You have plenty of RAM, so I'd set graphics RAM to 128MB.
