--- Begin Message ---Package: virtualbox Version: 4.3.18-dfsg-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? After having some kernel module issues, I successfully created a new VM. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I then started the VM for the first time. The VM window opens and the GUI asks me to select the boot media. I do that. * What was the outcome of this action? I get a message window "Starting virtual machine..." with 0%. Nothing changes, only after a while the main window (not the VM window) opens a new message window "Starting virtual machine..." with 20%. Even after a very long while nothing changes. When I kill the VM window (second virtualbox process) I get this error message in the main window: "Für die virtuelle Maschine Test konnte keine neue Sitzung eröffnet werden. [No new session could be opened for the VM.] No error info. Fehlercode:NS_ERROR_CALL_FAILED (0x800706BE) Komponente:ProgressProxy Interface:IProgress {c20238e4-3221-4d3f-8891-81ce92d9f913}" * What outcome did you expect instead? The VM to start the boot media. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages virtualbox depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dpkg 1.17.25 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libcurl3 7.38.0-4+deb8u2 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libgsoap5 2.8.17-1 ii libpng12-0 1.2.50-2+b2 ii libpython2.7 2.7.9-2 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-10+b1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1k-3 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii libvncserver0 0.9.9+dfsg-6.1 ii libvpx1 1.3.0-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.14-1+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-5 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.4-1+b1 ii python 2.7.9-1 ii python2.7 2.7.9-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages virtualbox recommends: ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 10.3.2-1 ii libqt4-opengl 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3 ii virtualbox-dkms 4.3.18-dfsg-3 ii virtualbox-qt 4.3.18-dfsg-3 Versions of packages virtualbox suggests: pn vde2 <none> pn virtualbox-guest-additions-iso <none> -- no debconf information
