Guru meditation with VirtualBox 7.1.6 on macOS/Arm

[Quatro]

I am also having a problem on VirtualBox 7.1.6 r167084 (Qt6.5.3).
Running Ubuntu 24.04.1 ARM 64 on Mac OSX on a Mac Mini M4.
Ubuntu had just run an update and it requested a restart, when the VM restarted the error came up and haven't been able to use the VM.

The error I see in the logs of Virtual Box that correspond to the screenshot error provided is:
00:00:03.460352 ERROR [COM]: aRC=NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057) aIID={4680b2de-8690-11e9-b83d-5719e53cf1de} aComponent={DisplayWrap} aText={Argument aWidth is invalid (must be aWidth != 0 && aWidth <= 32767)}, preserve=false aResultDetail=0

The screenshot error states:
Display failure...

Failed to acquire display parameter.
Argument Width is invalid (must be aWidth != 0 && aWidth <= 32767).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_INVALID_
ARG (0x80070057)
Component: DisplayWrap
Interface:
IDisplay
{4680b2de-8690-11 e9-b83d-5719e53cf1de}

Can someone please provide some guidance to fix the Virtual Machine?

Your log file shows the real error a bit earlier, and it's strange that you didn't get "Guru Meditation -37 (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED)". It happens straight on VM start.

In any case: you need to update VirtualBox. 7.1.6 isn't compatible with recent macOS Sequoia updates IIRC. It's half a year old.

I updated to Version 7.1.12 r169651 (Qt6.5.3) and that did the trick.
My VM is up and working now.
Thank you!

Hello,
I am not able to install Windows-11 Arm OS as Guest OS on Version 7.1.12 r169651 (Qt6.5.3). Host OS is MacOS Sequoia 15.6. Pls suggest.

The documentation of VirtualBox 7.1.x does not mention that one can run Windows/Arm VMs because it didn't work (and never will be in this version series). VirtualBox 7.2 will be able to do this, and you can get the latest pre-release under "development snapshots" at the test build page. Normally I wouldn't point users at it, but this is close to release, in "release candidate" state.
