HI,
since several days VirtualBox fails to start my virtual machines
I get two error messages.
I’m running tumbleweed on a Lenovo T490 latest updates installed. Reinstalling Virtualbox did not help.
Anything I can do to get my virtual sessions running again?
Franz
I would 1st turn off secure boot - sounds like an unsigned VirtualBox install.
UEFI secure boot (in Bios of T490) is off and not active.
VBox once worked until some time ago. I did not change anything other than
‘sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper dup’ on a regular basis…
Sounds like old code is conflicting with new code. Uninstall all old code (will not delete any setups) and install the newest one. yes there is an asterisk in the rm line to get all the pieces.
sudo zypper rm virtualbo*
reboot
sudo zypper in virtualbox
reboot
and virtualbox should work now.
Does not help…
The first error (“VBoxClient: the VirtualBox kernel service is not running. Exiting.”) is gone, but the second ("The VM session was abortetd. Result Code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) still occurs.
Post your Repo list:
zypper lr -d
also
zypper se -si virtualbox
and
uname -a
According this bugreport, this is due to the use of old/outdated extension packs.
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1231346
get the extension pack from here - it is for all openSUSE versions:
https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.1.2/VirtualBox-7.1-7.1.2_164945_openSUSE153-1.x86_64.rpm
you might not need the extension pack as most of what was needed is included - the exception is private VB networking (not nat or bridged.)
you can remove the old one in virtualbox manager - File > tools > extension manager.
One other thing - if you save the machine in VB 6 and now on VB 7 - the save state has to be discarded to load. The save state is for a different VB engine.
Some saved states (shared folders for example) are not compatible from 7.0.18 or 7.0.20 to 7.1.0 or 7.1.2.
Here it is

Thanks! (and thanks to the other replies too.
Discarding the save state solved the problem.
