Virtualbox does not run: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
- by dschinn1001
here is ubuntu 12.10
virtual-box is somehow not working:
I was trying to install win7 on to an usb-hard-disk.
boinc is switched off and RAM-size is set to 4096 MB (too big ? of possible 8 Gibi )
report of virtual-box is:
the com-object for virtualbox could not be created.
the application is now ended.
Start tag expected, '<' not found.
Location: '/home/$user/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml', line 1 (0), column 1.
/build/buildd/virtualbox-4.1.18-dfsg/src/VBox/Main/src-server/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[484] (nsresult VirtualBox::init()).
Fehlercode:NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Komponente:VirtualBox
Interface:IVirtualBox {c28be65f-1a8f-43b4-81f1-eb60cb516e66}
comment of me:
why is virtualbox installing xml into folder of $user in .VirtualBox ?
should it not be on usb-harddisk ? (with 500 Gibi )
first installation attempt was breaking off (with win7 in 64Bit)
should I try virtual-box (ubuntu 64Bit) with win7 in 32Bit ?
should I leave RAM-size of virtual-box to default 512 MB ?
thanks for reply
