Problem after macOS Ventura 13.4 upgrade / Virtual Box Version 7.0.6 r155176 (Qt5.15.2)

[mattmidd]

I'm new here, so please excuse any missteps and THANKS in advance for your time and insight.

I booted up my VM (I am running Virtual Box 7.0.6) for the first time after upgrading my Mac OS to Ventura 13.4. Below is the error that appeared in a screenshot:

A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped.
For help, please see the Community section or your support contract Please provide the contents of the log file VBox.log and the image file VBox.png,which you can find in the /Users/ matthewmiddione/VirtualBox VMs/SIGNAWorksSDK-RX29.1_RO2_new/Logs directory, as well as a description of what you were doing when this error happened. Note that you can also access the above files by selecting Show Log from the Machine menu of the main VirtualBox window.
Press OK if you want to power off the machine or press Ignore if you want to leave it as is for debugging. Please note that debugging requires special knowledge and tools, so it is recommended to press OK now.

I couldn't find the VBox.png file, but a zipped VBox.log file is attached here.

You have severalf problems that you should address:

1. VirtualBox 7.0.6 has known problems with recent versions of Ventura. These are solved in the current release, VirtualBox 7.0.8
2. The VirtualBox Extensions Pack must match the version of VirtualBox. You have:

Code: Select all

00:00:01.142627   Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack (Version: 6.1.32 r149290; VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP; Crypto Module:  unusable because of 'VBoxExtPackVMRegister returned VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH, pReg=0000000000000000 ErrInfo='Helper version mismatch - expected 0x30000 got 0x50000'')

The latest releases of VirtualBox and the Extension Pack are available from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
3. You probably don't need 4 CPUs for your VM. I suggest you reduce this to 2 or 3, and allow some CPU resource for the host OS (Ventura)
4. You have only allocated 16MB of VRAM. I suggest raising this to 128MB.

I hope that helps.

Thank you! This solved my problems. I was unaware that 7.0.8 was available, thanks for the help!
