VirtualBox Critical Error: Machine Execution Stopped

[lasn]

Hello fellow community members,

I'm currently facing a critical issue with a virtual machine provided by my school for studying "hacking" concepts. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get the virtual machine running, and this situation is causing a delay in my lessons.

I am encountering a critical error while running VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 22.04 system. The error message I receive is as follows:

"A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine, and the machine execution has been stopped. For help, please see the Community section on..."

I have hardware virtualization enabled in my BIOS settings.

I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue.
System Details:

Ubuntu 22.04
VirtualBox version 7.0.8

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,
Lasn

Hi again,

I wanted to provide an update regarding the issue I'm facing with VirtualBox. After reviewing the log file, I found an error message that might be relevant:

As a newcomer to VirtualBox, I'm not entirely sure about the specific solution to this issue. However, it appears that there is an argument error related to the display settings. I also tried adding more memory, but I still encountered the same issue. If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has any suggestions on how to resolve it, I would greatly appreciate your input.

It appears that KVM/QEMU might be running on the host OS. These block Virtualbox. They may be enabled by other apps like Docker.

Thank you for your answer, after disabling docker and QEMU i got the VM working
