Ubuntu: Virtual box error NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

Nach Migration der VirtualBox von Win7 zu Ubuntu


Virtual box error NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)


sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup


oder besser

I found a solution for this.
In your home folder /home/xxxx/.VirtualBox the file VirtualBox.xml became corrupted so delete it (when you restart virtualbox you will have to re-register).
After that go to virtualbox menu for Virtual Media Manager and add the xxxx.vmdk image to it.
Next step add a new OS for virtualbox and select the first (for me xp) then select for Boot Hard Disk use existing hard disk and select the one you added for media manager.
There your done vbox is now working with your virtual hard disk before the crash and you don't loose anything.

My next step was back in my .Virtualbox folder i copied the 3 files (compreg.dat, VirtualBox.xml and xpti.dat) to .xxxx (copy) in the same folder (just in case this happens again).
The last step was to make another virtualbox snapshot.
