VERR_ACCESS_DENIED error after upgrade to v2.1.0 => VBoxManage

Description

I recently installed v2.1.0. on Windows XP 32 bit. Previously I was using v2.0.6. When I Start the virtual machine I get the following error:

ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_FAIL (0x80004005) aIID={e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e} aComponent={Console} aText={Unknown error creating VM (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED)} aWarning=false, preserve=false Power up failed (vrc=VERR_ACCESS_DENIED, rc=E_FAIL (0X80004005))

I have tried re-installing and I still get the same issue.

When I revert back to v2.0.6 things work fine, so this makes me think it's not a permissions issue.

I attached the full log.

Any suggestions?

Strange. Any chance to check 2.1.0 again and try if the VM comes up without any .vdi file attached?

comment:2 by gabor, 15 years ago

I tried launching without a VDI File attached and I also tried creating a new VDI file instead of using my original one and got the same error (see attached file (TEST-2009-01-06-07-05-23.log)

I've still no idea what goes wrong. Would you be willing to install a debug build which would help finding the problem?

comment:4 by gabor, 15 years ago

Sure, no problem.

comment:5 by Tim, 15 years ago

Seems like it is not unique to me then, having the same problem on vista 32bit and cannot start existing or newly created VMs since upgrading to 2.10.

comment:6 by Frank Mehnert, 15 years ago

gaborbay, please could you contact me via E-mail at frank _dot_ mehnert _at_ sun _dot_ com so I could send you the debug build?

comment:8 by Frank Mehnert, 15 years ago

Erhard Konrath sent me a few log files from a debug build and I think I found the reason. Please could you execute the following command:

VBoxManage setextradata VM_NAME VBoxInternal/DBGC/Enabled 0

Replace VM_NAME with the name of your VM you want to start. Unfortunately, you have to repeat this for your VMs. Please could you confirm that this workaround allows you to start your VMs?

We will fix this regression with the next release.

Seems to solve the problem for me. Ran the command on all the VMs I had and they start up fine. Created a new one which exhibited the same problem but running your command on it fixed that.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. but I'm not able to do the fixing .. can please someone tell me where to insert the command VBoxManage ... I can't find any place to do this

working on windows xp

thx in advance

In a command prompt, you may need to change to c:\program files\sun\xVm VirtualBox folder to run the command. If you have spaces in your VM name you will need to enclose it in ""

comment:12 by Brandon Ehle, 15 years ago

Can confirm the command above also fixes the same issue for me running under a Windows XP64 host.

comment:13 by gabor, 15 years ago

Running the command fixed my issue too. Thanks for figuring out the problem.

hello, I am also getting (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED) error when I start the virtualbox 2.1.0 and above method didn't fix it for me, how do I gather the error logs to provide more information?

Thanks,

comment:15 by Frank Mehnert, 15 years ago

ying,

  • were you able to start VMs with VirtualBox 2.0.6?
  • please could you attach the VBox.log file of such a failing session?

comment:16 by ying, 15 years ago

oops, i uninstall 2.1.0, install 2.0.6, just to make sure that works (2.0.6 works before), and after i install 2.1.0 again and use the above workaround, it works!!! thanks,
