Error: "virtual Box is running" while installing Cuckoo #2796

asif48 commented 5 years ago

I want to install Cuckoo sandbox on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit Desktop.I have been going through the following blog to set up the VMs. https://gist.github.com/braimee/bf570a62f53f71bad1906c6e072ce993

I have stuck thrice on an issue "Virtualbox is running, please close it" when I ran "./cuckoo-install.sh" under the heading "Install Cuckoautoinstall". I completely remove the VirtualBox from the Ubuntu OS and then listed down the number of VB process using "ps -A | grep vb" and kill down all of them. One was unable to kill which was "iprt-VBoxWQueue" . I left no stone un turned to kill it but all in van.

Then I just created a fresh VM of Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop 64-bit without any further update and installation of packages and just wanted to see if any VB process resides in the VM . I just surprised to see when I ran on a terminal "ps -A | grep vb". It shows the same process running "iprt-VBoxWQueue". The screen shots attached...

What are the reasons for this? Please let me know the solution or any help in this regard would be much appreciated. I am facing the issue from the last One week and still suffering from it.

One of the fellow suggested to by pass the method in ./cuckoo-install.sh which relates to VirtualBox in the following link.

Will it be safe to do this? I would be glad if anybody can share its vm. ubuntu error

Hi asif48,

Thanks for posting an issue.

I do not know why this process remains after you have removed VirtualBox. It sounds like it was not completely removed.

You could use VMCloak to make your virtual machines for Cuckoo. https://vmcloak.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

This blog might also be useful for you when setting up a basic Cuckoo instance. It includes VM creation. https://hatching.io/blog/cuckoo-sandbox-setup

I have done with the issue ...It has to deal with the script "cuckoo-install.sh" which was answered here...
