A few months ago i've installed an ubuntu 21.10 virtual machine and the machine was working well. Today i wanted to boot it again but the boot process is stuck to this error with a black screen (image in the zip file). I've searched online to try fixing this kind of problem with unfortunately no result. I leave the log file into the zip file.


thanks to all responding , i really need to boot it.

The error message shown in your screen is AFAIK perfectly normal, certainly not a VirtualBox error.

I have a number of settings changes to suggest:
  1. Increasing VM RAM from 1024MB to 2048MB.
  2. Allocate 2 CPU cores.
  3. Allocate 128MB graphics RAM.
You then should update the Guest Additions, which are horrifically out of date (running 6.1.32 on the host, 6.0.0 GAs in the guest).

I'd suggest to check if your 10 GB virtual disk is full.

And please note that we rarely accept assurances as to the current state in your VM: we would need to see another zipped log file showing all of the above issues corrected.
