VM don't start Win7 - Guru Meditation issue

Post by Djeebs31 »

Hello,

All my VMs don't start anymore.
They are all on Win7.

I'm getting an error message.

Passing request to close Runtime UI from machine-logic to UI session.


I have no idea what happened.
I'm leaving here the logs of the machine I use every day.

Can anyone help me? I have projects in progress, it's a disaster.
Thanks a lot!

You can find many recent threads on the Linux Sub-Forums about the same problem:

You have an old and unsupported version of VirtualBox (6.1.50) installed from the Ubuntu Repository; and Ubuntu has recently pushed a Linux kernel update which is not compatible with that version. You can either:

- Roll-back to the earlier compatible Linux kernel; or
- upgrade VirtualBox to Version 7.0.20 from Oracle's official Downloads Page: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

If you decide to go with the upgrade option please ensure you also download and install the matching Extension Pack; and also update the Guest Additions installation when you are able to start the VM(s).
