NS_ERROR_FAILURE console VERR_ACCESS_DENIED

Posted: 26. May 2014, 23:16

Hi,

I'm not able to launch my guest Linux VM. As you can see in the snip of the file below, it dies when trying to open a socket to the console due to VERR_ACCESS_DENIED. This was working for me a few weeks ago but now I keep getting this error. I'm not sure what changed in my configuration that caused this.

I am running Virtual Box 4.3.10 on a CentOS 6.5 host with v3.14.0 Linux kernel.

When I first noticed this error, I checked /etc/group and found that my user acount was not a member of vboxusers. I added my user account to the group but it didn't make any difference to the behavior.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Denis

The error looks like it is the serial port that you do not have access permission for. Make sure your user name has rights to ports.

I'm not sure. I checked the group settings and added my user account to the 'dialout' group. That didn't change anything. It's still behaving the same way.

I have a separate workstation at the office with a similar setup and I can launch the VM over there. In fact, on that machine, my user account is not a member of either vboxusers, dialout, or any other group for that matter and it still works fine.

I'm not sure what else would prevent access to /dev/console or serial.

Have you tried to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup to see if you had a kernel update since the last time it worked?

I wasn't aware of that command.

I tried running it and it's still doing something (hasn't returned yet). The output so far is shown here:

It came back with the output below. I'm going to try reinitializing and relaunching the VM. I'll post back with my result.

Unfortunately, the exact same error.

In the guest settings do you have any serial ports enabled?

Re: NS_ERROR_FAILURE console VERR_ACCESS_DENIED

Posted: 27. May 2014, 03:38

Yes there is one port enabled: Port 1. The "Port 2" is not enabled.

The Port/File Path for Port 1 is the one that the error log is complaining about not having access to.

I've attached a screen capture of the serial port settings.

It is showing an invalid selection warning. What happens if you take the check mark out of the enable box?

You may have an issue with the named pipe and should look into recreating it if you can boot the guest without the serial port.

The 'invalid settings detected' warning is only complaining that I've 9MB of video which is the minimum required for supporting fullscreen or seamless modes. It's not relevant for me since I'm running the VM headless.

I'll look into whether I can launch it with the console port disabled and recreating it.

After discussing this with my colleagues at work they suggested that I kill all vbox related processes and restart the vboxdrv service. So I did a 'ps -ef | grep -i vbox' and killed all of the processes that were running. Then I ran 'sudo service vboxdrv restart' to restart the vboxdrv service. After that I was able to launch my VM successfully.
