virtualbox.org

Hello, I've tried a few things. My Windows 10 virtual machine works fine with only USB 1.0 enabled. Enabling USB 2 or 3 means I can't start it as it begins to start and then aborts almost immediately, no window is even created.

Any ideas? I added the extension packs, added my ID to the user list on the host, etc. This happens even when no external USB devices are connected.

The failure mentions session machine. Logs attached.

Virtualbox version is: 6.1.10_Ubuntu r138449

00:00:01.939002 VirtualBox VM 6.1.10_Ubuntu r138449 linux.amd64 (Jun 6 2020 11:31:37) release log
00:00:01.944361 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack (Version: 6.1.14 r140239; VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP

VB & EP versions must match.

You're also running the Ubuntu fork of Virtualbox.

After a bit of googling I am going to try replacing my virtualbox VM from the Linux Mint software manager with Ubuntu 20.04 from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

The internet seems to think the version should contain the word "focal" but the above is the closest version and as far as I know(and I know I know very little) the above is the correct official site for the software.

Think I'm going to give up.
Was not possible to install the DEB file from virtualbox.org, first it said there was still some of the old virtualbox installed. Using the command line I could get a bit further and see errors around old python 2 dependencies which I thought were part of linux mint 20. In any case I could not work out what that issue was.
Then went and followed the directions on this site...https://www.itzgeek.com/post/how-to-ins ... x-mint-20/
No idea if that was a mistake, but got an error about the installation when I tried to run my VM instance and ran the suggested /sbin/vboxconfig after figuring out how to get to root and setup a root password.

However I now get the following error: The virtual machine 'Windows 10' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).

To be fair, windows 10 never would install on this laptop, so there may be a hardware incompatibility which cannot be virtualized away, though it works fine with USB 1.0 support.

As a last effort I tried USB 1 and 2 support and managed to re-create the configuration error suggesting /sbin/vboxconfig and to confirm this official verison installed from the site directions above does not work for me:

- TR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)
- The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing
- '/sbin/vboxconfig'
- may correct this. Make sure that you are not mixing builds of VirtualBox from different sources.
- where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user.

Think I'll see if I can get back to the sofware manager suggested version of Virtualbox as that at least worked with USB 1 support....unless anyone has alternate suggestions.
