Error While Starting VM? #648

Closed Redneckatvs closed 1 year ago

Redneckatvs commented 1 year ago

Not sure why trying to use this script, it doesn't work for whatever reason? Here's what I'm getting, anyone have any ideas?

root@XXXX:/mnt/c/Users/XXXXXX/downloads# zsh -i macos-guest-virtualbox.sh

Push-button installer of macOS on VirtualBox

This script installs only open-source software and unmodified Apple binaries, and requires about 50GB of available storage, of which 25GB are for temporary installation files that may be deleted when the script is finished.

The script interacts with the virtual machine twice, please do not interact with the virtual machine manually before the script is finished.

Documentation about optional configuration, iCloud and iMessage connectivity, resuming the script by stages, and other topics can be viewed with the following command:

macos-guest-virtualbox.sh documentation | less -R

Press enter to review the script configuration

vm_name="macOS" macOS_release_name="Catalina" # install "HighSierra" "Mojave" "Catalina" storage_size=80000 # VM disk image size in MB, minimum 22000 storage_format="vdi" # VM disk image file format, "vdi" or "vmdk" cpu_count=2 # VM CPU cores, minimum 2 memory_size=4096 # VM RAM in MB, minimum 2048 gpu_vram=128 # VM video RAM in MB, minimum 34, maximum 128 resolution="1280x800" # VM display resolution

These values may be customized as described in the documentation.

Press enter to continue, CTRL-C to exit Can't find VBoxManage in PATH variable, checking /mnt/c/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxManage.exe Found VBoxManage

The command "VBoxManage list extpacks" either does not list the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack, or lists one or more extensions as unusable. The virtual machine will be configured without USB xHCI controllers.

Catalina selected to be downloaded and installed

stage: prompt_delete_existing_vm

stage: create_vm

stage: check_default_virtual_machine

Checking that VirtualBox starts the virtual machine without errors. Error while starting the virtual machine. Exiting.

Hi, thanks for the bug report. Please attach the VirtualBox VM log here, or run macos-guest-virtualbox.sh troubleshoot and attach the resulting macOS__troubleshoot.txt file here. The log says why the VM fails to start. You can remove any personal information if you like (generally, your username or home directory name).

Hey, thanks for the reply, I have experience with windows/linux virtual machines, but for whatever reason, I was enough of an idiot to not enable virtualization in the bios. after a lot of messing around with things (just note I was running this script on a windows machine) I got it working, and I have to say I am impressed, once you get the required packages installed it works good, you did a really good job on this one.
