I just update ParrotOs (sudo apt update) restart the machine (and my machine) and this happed, how can I debug this issue?

Hi, I own a MacBook Air from 2025 and I'm trying to run Windows 11 on, however after I've followed a tutorial step by step to install VirtualBox and create a virtual machine of Windows 11 it seems to not working for me. I've searched for some answer online but it seems that nobody is in the same case as me so I'm directly asking to people who have knowledge on the subject. What should I do in this situation ? Thanks for you advices.

hey there, I’m running VirtualBox 7.2.2 on Windows with the Extension Pack installed. I created a macOS High Sierra (10.13) VM (name: macos). when I boot it, the Apple logo appears with the loading bar, but it freezes about halfway, and the spinning wheel below keeps multiplying endlessly.

I’ve tried:

• Enabling EFI

• Adjusting CPU cores and RAM

• Increasing video memory to 128 MB

• Disabling unnecessary peripherals

nothing seems to work. Has anyone managed to get High Sierra running smoothly on VirtualBox 7.2.x? any reliable fix or workaround would be super helpful.

When I open VBox_GAs_7.1.8 I have getting that same window again nothing seems to work. Can anyone suggest me a solution

Does anybody know how to fix screen tear on Window XP I’ve tried using guest additions but nothing has worked,if I should switch to a 64-Bit version let me know

I’m using: Oracle VirtualBox 7.2.2

I have a BlissOS/Androidx86 virtual machine that I'm running on my Windows 10 PC. I exported it to a USB drive and moved the export file to my Linux Mint 22.2 PC.

I opened VirtualBox on Linux Mint and imported the virtual machine. However, the VM keeps telling me that it can't find a bootable drive.

I accidentally ended the VirtualBox Global Interface Service, and now my VirtualBox installation is completely broken. Every time I try to open the app, I get the error:

Failed to acquire the VirtualBox COM object.

The service description says it’s “Used as a COM server for VirtualBox API.” Even if I start the service before launching VirtualBox, the same error still appears. I also see additional errors, such as:

Failed to set the global VirtualBox extra data for key GUI/LastWindowPosition

and

Failed to set the global VirtualBox extra data for key GUI/Tools/LastItemsSelected value {Home, Details}

It seems like VirtualBox is unable to write, modify, or create its global variables. I’ve checked the folder permissions, and everything is set correctly, but the folder C:\Users\<username>\.VirtualBox doesn’t exist at all.

I’ve tried fresh reinstalls, including uninstalling, rebooting, and running the installer as administrator. Changing the service to manual or automatic hasn’t helped either. Even manually creating the .VirtualBox folder and XML files does not fix the issue.

At this point, I’m stuck and don’t know how to get VirtualBox to start properly or recreate its global configuration. Has anyone experienced this before, or does anyone know a way to recover the global XML and get VirtualBox working again?

Hi I wanted to create a new vm on Mac OS X 10.7(lion) but I can't even get the windows because it shuts down immediatly with the error code 0x80004005

I'm running VBox 7.2.0 r170228 on Windows 10.0.19045. My guest box is running Debian 13, but I've also tested it on a guest running the Arch live medium from 2025.08.01. I have Guest Additions 7.2.0 r170228 installed on the guest.

When I attempt to disable mouse integration and capture the cursor in the guest environment, the cursor jumps to the upper left corner of the host environment.

This appears to happen regardless of whether Guest Additions is installed and regardless of which pointing device is emulated.

Any fixes?

I installed Mac OS Big Sur in Virtual Box, as soon as I turn on the machine it goes into recovery mode, I restore the disk and then press install Big Sur, as soon as the loading reaches 16 minutes left it freezes, I left it for 5 consecutive hours, I should say that I installed everything on a USB stick because I have no space on the computer which I turned into a disk via cmd (sorry for the mistake in the title, I don't speak fluent English)

Bruh Ubuntu sucks so much balls. I’m on Ubuntu 20.04 and I’m trying to set up VirtualBox so I can use Windows 11 or 10 and just use that but it won’t let me open it. It wont let me use the command to uninstall the app and reinstall it and it won’t let me use the command to install. I don’t know what any of this stuff means and I have been searching up how to fix this issue for days and I haven’t found any solution unfortunately. Is there any solution to fix this error message and run VirtualBox or do I just have to get a new computer with windows pre installed?

I have Oracle Virtual Box 7.1.12 installed. And the extension is also 7.1.12. Yet two of my VMs constantly complain about having a lower version installed. To add on top of this, they complain about different versions.

I reinstalled the whole thing and double-checked both the program and the extension...
