[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#787003: virtualbox: VM fails to start

[Björn Siebke]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.3.18-dfsg-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
After having some kernel module issues, I successfully created a new VM.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I then started the VM for the first time. The VM window opens and the GUI asks
me to select the boot media. I do that.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
I get a message window "Starting virtual machine..." with 0%. Nothing changes,
only after a while the main window (not the VM window) opens a new message
window "Starting virtual machine..." with 20%. Even after a very long while
nothing changes.
When I kill the VM window (second virtualbox process) I get this error message
in the main window: "Für die virtuelle Maschine Test konnte keine neue Sitzung
eröffnet werden.
[No new session could be opened for the VM.]
No error info.

Fehlercode:NS_ERROR_CALL_FAILED (0x800706BE)
Komponente:ProgressProxy
Interface:IProgress {c20238e4-3221-4d3f-8891-81ce92d9f913}"

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
The VM to start the boot media.
