VM on ubuntu not starting after reboot of system. Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)

[PatWasHere]

Hi All,

Running Virtualbox 7.0.14 f161095 to run a homeasistant VM on Ubuntu 22.04. Noticed my HA VM crashed a couple of times over the past week and was able to restart the VM manually. In an attempt to fix it rebooted the whole machine. After the reboot the VM no longer will start. I have tried to restore a snapshot and archived version that was working prior, but they also will not start.

Any guidance on how to tackle this would be appreciated.

I did do a apt get/apt update recently. Maybe a system update messed with some versions?

Getting the following error shown in the Virtualbox UI.

Code: Select all

"The virtual machine 'homeassistant 1 1' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)
Component:

Here is the last part of the log: (let me know if I should post the whole thing)

not sure how to get one of VboxHardening.log. Attached vbox.log and vboxui.log files. Thanks fo the help.

Sorry, it's a Linux host, I should have seen that. No hardening log.

This may be because there's a mix of Virtualbox versions on the host. Uninstall/purge all Virtualbox-related files (the VMs will stay behind) then reboot and reinstall Official Virtualbox from www.virtualbox.org. Note the prerequisites first https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq. Note also that Official Virtualbox doesn't use dkms.

OK, will give that a shot. so 7.0.14 is ok to install?

[PatWasHere]

WOOT! I am up and back running.

What I did,

Closed VirtualBox app.
from terminal:

sudo apt-get remove virtualbox\*
sudo reboot

After the reboot download the deb file from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and install it.
opened up VirtualBox and started my VM no errors. I am happy.

Thanks for the help.
