VirtualBox error - {vm name} is not running #590

Closed MilitPatel closed 2 years ago

MilitPatel commented 2 years ago

Hi, I've been using this script for quite a few months to make macos guest virtualboxes, and today, I tried running the script, like usual, and right before it does the automated recognition of the interface, the VirtualBox closes, and it loops an error that the {name of virtualbox} is not running. Is there a specific reason for this or am I just doing something wrong?

MilitPatel commented 2 years ago

may I add, it worked before using this same PC, and CPU, so I do not believe it is a CPU problem, but I could definitely be wrong.

Hi, thanks for the bug report. Are you running the latest version of the script?

MilitPatel commented 2 years ago

Yes, just downloaded newest version of script, ran it on 6.(something) VirtualBox and then now running Version 6.1.32 r149290, with an i5-10300h

Possibly a VirtualBox issue, I will investigate but probably not in the near future, sorry.

myspaghetti commented 2 years ago

Sorry, haven't been able to reproduce the issue. My guess is that the required virtual disks were not created successfully, so the VM powers off immediately after being started. The script should fail gracefully when the disks can't be attached, but it does not detect anything if they're attached but corrupt or incomplete. Is there any indication that create_bootable_installer_virtual_disk failed?

Closing, with apologies, until further info is available, since I don't plan on investigating further for the time being.
