 |
|
Hi, when i try to launch VM in VirtualBox, the host itself completely freezes. Tried to reinstall VirtualBox, reinstall virtualbox-modules - nothing helped.
In VBoxSVC.log i can see an error:
Failed to open "/dev/vboxdrvu", errno=13, rc=VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE
though it exists:
$ ls -l /dev/vboxdrvu
crw------- 1 root root 10, 122 Sep 1 18:34 /dev/vboxdrvu
and also module is loaded:
$ lsmod | grep vbox
vboxnetflt 36864 0
vboxnetadp 24576 0
vboxdrv 626688 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
Exactly same issue on 2 different machines. what can i check to try to debug the issue?
also checked - my user in vboxusers group |

Try
| Code: |
chown vboxusers:vboxusers /dev/vbox*
|
What is the output of
| Code: |
grep -r vbox /etc/udev/
|

it doesn't help, and after reboot it reverts back:
# ls -l /dev/vbox*
crw------- 1 root root 10, 123 Sep 8 10:00 /dev/vboxdrv
crw------- 1 root root 10, 122 Sep 8 10:00 /dev/vboxdrvu
crw------- 1 root root 10, 121 Sep 8 10:00 /dev/vboxnetctl
grep -r vbox /etc/udev/
returns nothing |

Try

chmod 666 /dev/vbox*
|
There should have been udev rules created for these devices.I wonder why they weren't.
According to vbox ebuild
| Quote: |
if use udev; then
local udevdir="$(get_udevdir)"
local udev_file="VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh"
local rules_file="10-virtualbox.rules"
insinto ${udevdir}
doins ${udev_file}
fowners root:vboxusers ${udevdir}/${udev_file}
fperms 0750 ${udevdir}/${udev_file}
insinto ${udevdir}/rules.d
sed "s@%UDEVDIR%@${udevdir}@" "${FILESDIR}"/${rules_file} \
> "${T}"/${rules_file} || die
doins "${T}"/${rules_file}
fi
|
Are you not using udev?
Is there any init script vbox-related in /etc/init.d
?

# ls -l /etc/init.d/vbox*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1137 Sep 8 10:18 /etc/init.d/vboxinit-5.2.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 646 Sep 8 09:36 /etc/init.d/vboxwebsrv
firstly - i changed permissions and ownership:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root vboxusers 10, 123 Sep 10 08:38 /dev/vboxdrv
crw-rw-rw- 1 root vboxusers 10, 122 Sep 10 08:38 /dev/vboxdrvu
crw-rw-rw- 1 root vboxusers 10, 121 Sep 10 08:38 /dev/vboxnetctl
then - i started VirtualBox - i don't see anymore permissions related errors.
After creating some dummy VM (without any configuration - just create VM, without changing anything) - i see this in log:
ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE (0x80bb0002) aIID={300763af-5d6b-46e6-aa96-273eac15538a} aComponent={MachineWrap} aText={The machine is not mutable (state is PoweredOff)}, preserve=false aResultDetail=0
ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001) aIID={5bfd8965-b81b-469f-8649-f717ce97a5d5} aComponent={NvramStoreWrap} aText={The UEFI NVRAM file is not existing for this machine.}, preserve=false aResultDetail=0
The moment i started this VM - the whole host freezes, and i had to hard reset it. After reboot - all permissions reverted back, and no logs were added to VBoxSVC.log |

Hello leonchik1976,
have you found a solution for this problem? I have this problem, too, but don't know the reason for it. For many years VirtualBox worked without any problem.
Thanks and best regards,
Manfred |

| Does the kernel panic to cause this freeze? Is there anything written to the kernel's console? Beware that a sufficiently hard freeze may kill syslog before it can write to a file, so you need to read the data off the console. |

the moment you start VM (any VM - just create any VM - even without changing it's parameter) - the system freezes completely.
same issue on 3 different intel machines |

Can you start a VM from the VT1 text console ? (CTL-ALT-F1)
If it's a kernel panic it should vomit a dying message on the console. |

When starting a virtual machine, the PC freezes immediately. I've started "dmesg -w" in a terminal and took a picture with the smartphone and extracted the text with Google Lens. These five lines are the last I saw after starting the VM:
| Code: | [289.283991] SUPROGipMap: fGetGipCpu=0x1b
[290.947884] vboxdrv: 00000000905680cb VMMRO.ro
[291.069773] vboxdrv: 00000000631ce46e VBoxDDR0.ro
[291.117369] VBoxNetFlt: attached to 'enp0s31f6' / 9c:5c:8e:71:94:be

Try moving your VM to another internal drive. I encountered a similar issue, running a VirtualBox Win 11 VM on my Gentoo host PC. Win 11 runs fine, but Gentoo processes hang. I have to hold the power button to turn off my PC. My solution was moving the VirtualBox VM folder from my root partition (containing /home) to a second internal drive.
Note: This solution did not fix the same issue running a VMware Workstation Win 11 VM.
