Mac OS Monterey Error (0X80520006)

[Rowan_S]

Help me. I was trying to run VirtualBox 7.0.14 on Monterey but it crashes with the error code down below. I also tried everything I could find but, nothing works. Also VBoxManage does not work on terminal because it is not a command so, I can't use any methods with VBoxManage either.

Callee RC:
NS_ERROR_FILE_TARGET_DOES_NOT_EXIST (0X80520006)

[Rowan_S]

Yes, I check for that on everything I could find on the web but, nothing worked either. I even checked the usr/local/bin folder but, no luck. Any ideas to fix these problems.

Please post a session log (zipped) of a failed session.

1. Right-click the VM name in VirtualBox Manager and select "Show in Finder"
2. Open the Logs folder and right-click VBox.log
3. Select "Compress VBox.log" to create the zip file
4. Attach the zipped file to a post in this topic.

I can't open VirtualBox cause of the error.

You can still provide VBoxSVC.log using the information at https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10. ... ata-global - that's the place where these log files are stored.

Thank you klaus ! This is what I need! I will show it around 3:00.

Here is the log. And it looks like it is error 0x80460016. An error because of the failure to execute the UI.

Next log line should be (with username being your user name on macOS):

... main IPC socket path: /tmp/.vbox-username-ipc/ipcd

Hoping that nothing else is sabotaging things: what's the output of the command:

ls -ld /tmp/

(yes, the trailing / is intentional, otherwise it would just tell me that /tmp is a symlink to private/tmp)

[Rowan_S]

"drwxrwxrwt 9 root wheel 288 Mar 25 14:45 /tmp/" .

Scratching my head. Looks totally normal, and wouldn't explain problems creating the directory/files needed by VBoxSVC there. Since I won't ask you to provide the content of your tmp directory publicly (there can be sensitive stuff in there) you have to check yourself if there are leftover files/directories owned by the wrong user in it which would sabotage VBoxSVC.

Check with

ls -la /tmp/

Especially the .vbox-*-ipc directories and their contents are relevant. They should be owned by the username in the directory name.

[Rowan_S]

Now it says "drwxrwxrwt 10 root wheel 320 Mar 25 16:20 /tmp/"

You repeated the initial command (with options -ld), but I've asked for a different command (with options -la) which should show the contents of the directory, not the directory itself.
