check_default_virtual_machine() will always fail #380

Closed wwebers closed 3 years ago

I tried the script under Ubuntu and the stage "check_default_virtual_machine()" will always fail as the preceding stage "create_vm()" only creates the VM config, but without any drive. Thus the start of the VM will always fail.

A VM can start without any drives, and in fact the script explicitly relies on the default VM starting without any drives.

Check the VM logs (VBoxManage showvminfo "${vm_name}" --log 0) to see what specifically keeps your VM from starting.
