Guru Meditation Critical Error - Ubuntu 23.04 VM on Windows 10 Pro

[TuckMuffin]

Hi,

I have successfully created my virtual machine yet I am graced with a Guru Meditation critical error preventing me from powering it on. I have gone through the log file, but I am still too green to understand a lot of what is going on. I see this error followed by a CFGM dump:

Code: Select all

00:00:03.865429 ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005) aIID={6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8} aComponent={ConsoleWrap} aText={The VBoxGuestPropSvc service call failed with the error VERR_HGCM_SERVICE_NOT_FOUND}, preserve=false aResultDetail=-2900

but I am not sure what to do about it. This might not even be an issue, just the first thing that jumped out to me. I have attached the log to this post as well.

Thank you for any assistance,

The error message you've noticed is probably a red herring.

The real issue is that you probably have software running on your host that uses hardware acceleration (VT-x) and doesn't share it. Most of the time, this is some so-called security software, and some of it can be configured not to use VT-x.
