[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox VM error

[russell]

Hi

I tried to start a VM "No Disk" using VBoxManage startvm which failed

$ sh -x VBoxManage startvm "No Disk"
+ isainfo -k
+ CURRENT_ISA=amd64
+ test amd64 '=' amd64
+ INSTALL_DIR=/opt/VirtualBox/amd64
+ basename VBoxManage
+ APP=VBoxManage
+ exec /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxManage startvm 'No Disk'
Waiting for VM "No Disk" to power on...
VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'No Disk' has terminated 
unexpectedly during startup because of signal 11
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), 
component MachineWrap, interface IMachine


I tried to start as root but forgot to set DISPLAY but generates the 
same error as when starting a VM myself

$ xhost +local:
non-network local connections being added to access control list

root at tesla:~# sh -x VBoxManage startvm Test
+ isainfo -k
+ CURRENT_ISA=amd64
+ test amd64 '=' amd64
+ INSTALL_DIR=/opt/VirtualBox/amd64
+ basename VBoxManage
+ APP=VBoxManage
+ exec /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxManage startvm Test
Waiting for VM "Jackie" to power on...
VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'Test' has terminated 
unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), 
component MachineWrap, interface IMachine


I tried to start as root after setting DISPLAY which works!

root at tesla:~# export DISPLAY=:0.0
root at tesla:~# sh -x VBoxManage startvm Test
+ isainfo -k
+ CURRENT_ISA=amd64
+ test amd64 '=' amd64
+ INSTALL_DIR=/opt/VirtualBox/amd64
+ basename VBoxManage
+ APP=VBoxManage
+ exec /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxManage startvm Test
Waiting for VM "Jackie" to power on...
VM "Test" has been successfully started.


After stopping the Test VM I tried setting DISPLAY for myself it does 
not fix the issue

russell at tesla:/home/russell$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
russell at tesla:/home/russell$ sh -x VBoxManage startvm "No Disk"
+ isainfo -k
+ CURRENT_ISA=amd64
+ test amd64 '=' amd64
+ INSTALL_DIR=/opt/VirtualBox/amd64
+ basename VBoxManage
+ APP=VBoxManage
+ exec /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxManage startvm 'No Disk'
Waiting for VM "No Disk" to power on...
VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'No Disk' has terminated 
unexpectedly during startup because of signal 11
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), 
component MachineWrap, interface IMachine


Does this make sense to anyone?


Kind Regards
