You don't see any error messages in the logs @myspaghetti

From the log:

the host CPU does NOT support HW virtualization

DreamPWJ commented 4 years ago

Windows above does not support shell scripts so I put scripts to prevent Windows within the virtual machine of Ubuntu system

myspaghetti commented 4 years ago

If you're on Windows I recommend you run the script on Cygwin.

This is a new mistake I've been trying for days and it still doesn't work @myspaghetti

DreamPWJ commented 4 years ago

use Cygwin error C:\cygwin\bin\bash .\macos-guest-virtualbox.sh

myspaghetti commented 4 years ago

You are trying to run the script on PowerShell. Please run the script on bash in mintty (Cygwin Terminal).

If you are using Hyper-V you need to configure nested virtualization

Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true

I'm pretty sure that if the asker knew how to install an X server on Windows so they can run VirtualBox on WSL2 with nested virtualization they wouldn't have been trying to run a bash script on PowerShell or asking how to install packages on Cygwin.

Out-of-the-box GUI support on WSL2 is coming soon, and when that happens the preferred method to run the script will be through nested virtualization on a WSL2 Linux instance.

Until then, it's far easier for an inexperienced user to run the script on Cygwin.
