VBox inside a VBox machine

[tog]

Hi,

I am just starting to try to run an Ubuntu server in a VM and got this error message:

VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.1.0
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All rights reserved.

Waiting for the remote session to open...
ERROR: Virtual machine 'Falbala' has terminated unexpectedly during startup
Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Machine, interface IMachine, callee <NULL>


Here my conf:
Mac OS 10.6
- VBox 3.1
- Ubuntu Server 9.10 running VBox 3.1

On my ubuntu server, here is what I did:
VboxManage --version
3.1.0r55467

VBoxManage import Falbala.ovf

VBoxManage list vms
"Falbala" {99.....}

VBoxManage startvm Falbala

the error message given above

Any idea what's going wrong ?

You cannot run Virtualbox inside a virtual machine.

Virtualization inside a virtualizer, discussions, continue there.
